Wirtz to the Rubble

The single swap that most improves this squad over the next 5 gameweeks, on the same score the Targets page uses. Position is matched, the three-per-club limit is respected, and the budget is the bank plus what the outgoing player raises. Best gain here is +49 on a 0–100 scale — Big enough to be worth taking. A swap must gain at least +10 to appear at all, and a player who has already played and returned is never swapped for one who has not kicked a ball. Only players with evidence of starting are eligible — a start this season, or a real body of Premier League minutes last season (92 excluded). A career record counts only if it is recent and runs to at least ten full matches, so a good half-season from four years ago is ignored rather than treated as form. Selling price is shown as the current price; FPL pays purchase price plus half of any rise, which only the squad's own manager can see, so a risen player raises slightly less than shown.

Attribution comes from the API's own points explanation, so it always reconciles to the 55 counted. A further 8 sat on the bench and did not count.

The swing is this gameweek's points for the incoming player minus the outgoing one. Points either scored before the move are not part of the deal.
