The most popular transfers in

Matty Cash (£4.6m – Aston Villa) – At the time of writing Cash tops the list with 24485 transfers in. The full-back collected a massive 17 points in Gameweek 3 after scoring two goals and picking up bonus.

James Ward-Prowse (£6m – West Ham) – The Hammers have had a fantastic start to the season and Ward-Prowse has banked three back-to returns already which has resulted in him being the second highest transferred in player this week (14334).

James Maddison (£7.7m – Tottenham) – Tottenham have looked brilliant offensively this season and Maddison has been instrumental to that. The midfielder banked 10 points in Gameweek 3 and because of that has picked up 13530 new managers.

Raheem Sterling (£7.2m – Chelsea) – Sterling managed a whopping 19-point haul in Gameweek 3. His points came from two goals and one assist. He collected 13162 new managers this week ahead of his match against Bournemouth.

Jarrod Bowen (£7.1m – West Ham) – The West Ham success has attracted lots of new managers. 12465 people have brought in Bowen after his goal against Luton in Gameweek 4. He faces Manchester City in the round ahead so it could be a tough game to continue his good form.

The most popular transfers out

Luke Shaw (£5.4m – Manchester United) – The left-back is the most transferred out player this week with 15466. This is due to his injury which has ruled him out for several months.

Sven Botman (£4.5m – Newcastle) – Newcastle are coming into a great run of fixtures soon but centre-back Sven Botman picked up a knock recently which has resulted in 13605 managers selling him on.

Raphael Varane (£5m – Manchester United) – The Reds picked up yet another defensive injury which could see them struggle looking ahead. Varane managed to accumulate 11076 transfers out this week.

Virgil Van Dijk (£6m – Liverpool) – Liverpool continue to leak goals and their main centre-back Van Dijk picked up a red card in Gameweek 3 with a ban as a result. 9974 managers have sold VVD ahead of Gameweek 5.

Joao Pedro (£5.5m – Brighton) – Brighton face a tough run of fixtures ahead and Pedro has become a major rotation risk over the last several weeks. With the above in mind it could be why 8819 managers have removed him from their teams this week.
