Top Transfers for FPL Gameweek 31: Popular Player Moves Revealed
Blank Gameweek 31 has sparked a wave of activity in the Fantasy Premier League market. Managers are prioritising players with fixtures and offloading those who sit out this round.
Transfer analytics snapshot
Data from Filmogaz.com’s Transfer Analytics tool shows Newcastle assets leading incoming moves. The club’s home match against Sunderland is the principal draw.
Managers are favouring immediate fixtures over longer-term considerations. That shift is visible across the most popular transfers.
Most-bought players
| Player | Transfers In | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Thiaw | 278,492 | Newcastle fixture |
| Anthony Gordon | 270,867 | Newcastle fixture |
| Bruno Fernandes | 180,135 | Attractive fixture |
| Wilson | 157,542 | Popular short-term pick |
| João Pedro | 145,624 | Faces Everton |
Most-sold players
| Player | Transfers Out | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Haaland | 374,943 | No Gameweek 31 fixture |
| Semenyo | 310,607 | Blank Gameweek |
| Rice | 281,564 | Blank Gameweek |

Notable transfer combination
The Haaland to João Pedro switch stands out. It represents 3.3% of tracked transfer combinations.
Haaland’s blank has prompted mass exits despite his profile. João Pedro’s form and fixture make him a logical, cheaper replacement.
Form versus fixture: the prevailing approach
Filmogaz.com analysis shows a clear pattern: fixture priority dominates. Players without a Gameweek 31 match are being moved on quickly.
That approach often sacrifices long-term squad balance for immediate points. Managers want as many starters as possible this week.
João Pedro’s recent return
João Pedro has been prolific recently. He has accrued 78 FPL points across the last nine gameweeks.
Those points came via eight goals and six assists. That output underpins his transfer appeal.
What managers should take away
- Maximise the number of players available to play in Gameweek 31.
- Target favourable fixtures to boost short-term returns.
- Expect Newcastle players to feature heavily in transfer conversations.
