FPL Gameweek 27 Transfer Tips: Two Players to Buy, Hold & Sell

The Top 3 haulers this week were all managers. That’s how powerful the Assistant Manager chip has
been—those who played it wisely have wreaked havoc in their mini-leagues.

In the EPL (not just FPL), this week might have sealed the title for Liverpool, with a historic win at the Etihad and an Arsenal defeat. Now, it’s theirs to lose, especially with Salah breaking records every week.

Before we know it, yet another GW deadline is upon us—the penultimate midweek deadline of the season. With rotation risks, fatigue, and fixture congestion coming into play, planning is more crucial than ever. Smart transfers and chip strategies can make all the difference in the season’s final stretch.

So, let’s start with our BUY-HOLD-SELL article for this GW, sponsored by …. Well, nobody. We are poor, but you can help here if you want 😊

FPL GW27 Transfer Tips: Two Players to BUY

PS – I am not mentioning Salah, as he is non-negotiable at this point. I assume he is already in your team.

Jarrod Bowen (£7.4m) – MID, West Ham – 5.6% TSB

Bowen is the most transferred-in midfielder this week, and for good reason. Since his return in GW24, he has racked up 22 points across the last three GWs.

His GW27 opponents, Leicester, have been defensively vulnerable, ranking in the Bottom 3 for nearly every key metric:

• Shots Conceded
• Shots in the Box Conceded
• Shots on Target Conceded
• Big Chances Conceded
• NPxGC
• xGC
• xCS
• Goals Conceded
• Clean Sheets

Beyond this week, Bowen’s long-term fixtures also look promising, with only one game rated higher than 3 on the FDR scale.

With the perfect mix of form, fixtures, and underlying numbers, Bowen stands out as one of the best picks for GW27—an essential addition for FPL managers aiming to stay ahead.

Matheus Cunha (£6.9m) – FWD, Wolves – 14.8% TSB

Matheus Cunha is the second most transferred-in player this gameweek, and it’s easy to see why managers are backing the Wolves forward. Let’s break down what makes him such an attractive pick.

Since GW24, among all forwards, Cunha ranks:

• 1^st for Key Passes
• 1^st for xA
• 1^st for Bonus Points
• 2^nd for Shots
• 2^nd for Shots on Target
• 3^rd for Goals
• 3^rd for xGI
• 3^rd for BPS
• 3^rd for FPL Points

His GW26 fixture is particularly appealing, as he faces a Fulham side that has managed just two clean sheets since December—both coming against promoted sides and relegation contenders Southampton and Leicester.

Beyond this week, Cunha’s schedule remains favorable, with only one fixture rated FDR 4 or higher. Most crucially, he does not blank in GW29, making him a valuable asset for managers looking to navigate the blank gameweek without using chips.

If you’re planning ahead, Cunha could be the perfect addition to your squad.

FPL GW27 Transfer Tips: Two Players to HOLD

Cole Palmer (£11.1m) – MID, Chelsea – 60.7% TSB

Palmer is the second most transferred-out unflagged midfielder this week. After shedding over 5% of owners and dropping £0.3m in value in recent weeks, could this finally be the gameweek where he makes a statement? The stats still suggest he’s worth holding onto.

Among midfielders, Palmer ranks:

• 1^st for Key Passes
• 1^st for Big Chances Created
• 1^st for xA
• 2^nd for Shots on Target
• 2^nd for Big Chances
• 2^nd for xG
• 2^nd for xGI
• 2^nd for Goal Involvements
• 2^nd for xPts
• 2^nd for BPS
• 2^nd for Bonus Points
• 2^nd for FPL Points
• 3^rd for Goals Scored
• 3^rd for Shots

His next two opponents rank among the worst in the league across almost every defensive metric.

With elite underlying stats and a favorable fixture run, Palmer still has the potential to deliver. Selling him now could prove to be a mistake.

Justin Kluivert (£6.0m) – MID, Bournemouth – 29.3% TSB

Kluivert is the third most transferred-out unflagged midfielder this week. However, since GW21, he has been among the most consistent performers in FPL. Among midfielders, he ranks:

• 2^nd for FPL points
• 2^nd for BPS
• 2^nd for xG
• 2^nd for Goals Scored
• 2^nd for Goal Involvements

PS: The only midfielder ahead of Kluivert in these metrics? Salah.

Beyond his form, his long-term fixtures also look promising. 

With strong attacking involvement and favorable matchups ahead, selling him now could be premature—he still has plenty of potential to deliver in the coming weeks.

FPL GW27 Transfer Tips: Two Players to SELL 

Morgan Rogers (£5.6m) – MID, Aston Villa – 23.0% TSB

Morgan Rogers is the most transferred-out player this gameweek, and there are three key reasons behind the mass exodus:

1. Poor Form – Rogers has managed just 15 points in his last eight games, offering little in terms of returns.
2. Injury Concern – He was substituted with 12 minutes remaining against Chelsea after a tackle from Nkunku left him with an apparent contact injury. While Emery stated that Rogers would “hopefully” be fit to face Crystal Palace, he remains flagged in FPL.
3. Tough Fixtures – From now until the end of the season, he has just one fixture rated FDR 2 and a blank in GW29.

With better-performing midfielders available at a similar price—many of whom also play in GW29—now is the time to consider alternatives.

Ola Aina (£5.4m) – DEF, Nott’m Forest – 27.8% TSB

Aina is the most transferred-out defender this gameweek, and for good reason.

After being a reliable asset for FPL managers, Nottingham Forest’s defense has lost momentum, managing just one clean sheet in the last six games. More concerningly, their upcoming fixtures look brutal, making returns even harder to come by.

Now is the ideal time to move Aina out and free up funds for defenders who can actually deliver points in the crucial gameweeks ahead.
