Top 5 risers worth jumping on
Bukayo Saka is the headline move. He is up to £9.9m after a +0.1m rise, backed by a huge +166,002 net transfers. At just 8.8% ownership, that is still low for a premium midfielder with explosive upside. If he is in your GW36 plans, waiting now carries an immediate cost.
Ismaila Sarr has also surged to £6.4m, rising +0.1m on +132,627 net transfers. At 5.6% selected, he remains a classic upside pick rather than a template option, but the market is clearly buying into his short term appeal.
Maxence Lacroix looks like one of the more practical defensive buys. He is now £5.2m after a +0.1m rise, with +104,567 net transfers and 6.9% ownership. For managers chasing value in defence, this is the sort of move that can quickly get more expensive.
Daniel Muñoz has climbed to £5.9m, also up +0.1m, after +75,135 net transfers. With 9.5% selection, he is moving from differential territory toward mainstream relevance. If you want attacking threat from defence, the price trend says act now.
David Raya rounds out the key risers. He is up to £6.1m after +37,603 net transfers, and already sits at 35.2% ownership. He is not a flashy gain, but he is a steady squad value hold for managers prioritising reliable points and clean sheet equity.
Top 5 fallers, decision time
Virgil van Dijk has dropped to £6.1m after a -0.1m fall, driven by -94,585 net transfers. At 31.5% ownership, this is not a fringe sell. It is a broad market retreat. If you still own him, the question is whether fixture confidence outweighs the cash loss risk.
Antoine Semenyo is down to £8.1m, falling -0.1m despite still being in 49.5% of squads. The -87,584 net transfers are significant. When a highly owned asset starts bleeding value, non-sellers can get trapped quickly.
Harry Wilson has slipped to £5.9m after -89,983 net transfers. With 19.2% selection, plenty of managers still have a decision to make. If he is not an immediate starter for your squad, this looks like an easy cash-out point.
Lewis Hall has fallen to £5.3m on -17,273 net transfers, while James Garner is down to £5.2m after -9,665. Neither drop is catastrophic on its own, but both are the sort of slow leaks that erode squad value without offering much upside in return.
Squad value implications
GW36 is shaping up as a week where early moves matter. Saka, Sarr, Lacroix and Muñoz are all seeing strong demand, and the numbers support the urgency. On the other side, Semenyo, Virgil and Wilson are active value drains. Even some of the stranger rises, like Darlow to £4.0m despite -1,938 net transfers, or Struijk to £4.4m despite -21,907, show that price mechanics are not always intuitive. The takeaway is simple, if a player is central to your GW36 plan, buying before the next move can save crucial budget. If a faller is already expendable, delaying the sale is usually just burning team value.
