More than 949,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have been rewarded for transferring in Jack Grealish (£7.2m) in Gameweek 31.
Following the successive 12-point hauls that took his ownership from just under two per cent to over 13 per cent, the winger added an assist in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Leicester City on Saturday.
GW31 most transferred-in players
Player | Transferred in by ('000s) | Pts |
---|---|---|
Grealish | 949 | 7 |
Martinelli | 627 | 5 |
Haaland | 394 | 12 |
Olise | 309 | 3 |
Three midfielders are among the top four recruits as 1.8million managers sold the injured Marcus Rashford (£7.2m).
Over 627,000 turned to Gabriel Martinelli (£6.8m), making him the most-selected midfielder in Fantasy with an ownership of 43.2 per cent.
The Brazilian continued his strong form with an assist in the 2-2 draw at West Ham United, taking him to 72 points since Gameweek 24.
Michael Olise (£5.5m) is the differential choice, with more than 309,000 purchases off the back of his best ever return in Fantasy.
He earned 14 points in Gameweek 30 but was unable to reproduce that form this time around, blanking in Crystal Palace's 2-0 win at Southampton.

*Before bonus
Among the most-bought players for the second successive Gameweek, Erling Haaland (£12.2m) has been the overwhelming captain favourite for this round of matches.
Entrusted with the armband by more than 6.3m managers, he hit a brace to equal Mohamed Salah's (£12.8m) 32-goal tally from 2017/18 in a 38-match season.
Harry Kane (£11.7m) took second spot in the captaincy stakes but blanked for the first time in five appearances as Tottenham Hotspur lost 3-2 to AFC Bournemouth.
Nonetheless, his two points took him to 200 points for the campaign, the fifth time he's reached that milestone in the last eight seasons.
Salah took third spot ahead of Liverpool's trip to Leeds United on Monday, and rewarded his managers immensely thanks to two goals in the Reds' 6-1 victory at Elland Road, claiming 14 points.
GW31 most transferred-out players
Player | Transferred out by ('000s) | Pts |
Rashford | 1,832 | 0 |
---|---|---|
Shaw | 438 | 0 |
Maddison | 336 | 2 |
Joining Rashford among the most-sold players are Luke Shaw (£5.1m) and James Maddison (£8.1m).
Shaw missed Manchester United's 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
Maddison has not punished his sellers, blanking against Man City. He has produced just one attacking return in eight outings.
