Updated 7 October 2026. Bruno Fernandes and Dominik Szoboszlai are two of the most-sold players in FPL, but both decisions need context because GW6 is dominated by injury problems elsewhere.
Official FPL data has more than 209,000 GW6 transfers out for Bruno and more than 234,000 for Szoboszlai in the latest snapshot.
Quick verdict
| Player | OneFPL view |
|---|---|
| Bruno Fernandes | HOLD if injuries elsewhere; sellable for Saka/structure |
| Szoboszlai | More sellable because of fixtures |
Bruno
The problem is price.
At £11.9m, Bruno needs to compete with:
- Saka;
- Palmer;
- major upgrades elsewhere.
The positives remain:
- penalties;
- set pieces;
- central chance creation;
- Tottenham at home in GW6.
Official FPL's current analysis notes that Manchester United's upcoming fixture run is easier than Liverpool's.
So Bruno is not a panic sell.
Latest FPL news
Szoboszlai
Liverpool's next run includes several difficult opponents.
That makes it easier to move a £6.9m midfielder into:
- Josh King;
- Schade;
- Tavernier;
- another value route.
The saving can improve another position.
Replacement matrix
| Sell | Replacement | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bruno | Saka | Premium quality + lower price |
| Bruno | Mid-price + upgrade elsewhere | Better squad balance |
| Szoboszlai | King | Best short-term fixtures |
| Szoboszlai | Schade | Goal threat |
| Szoboszlai | Tavernier | Goal threat + set pieces |
Injury priority comes first
If your squad also contains:
- Tzolis;
- Brobbey;
- Gakpo;
- Isak;
- Palmer/João Pedro doubts;
fix the player who may not play before selling a healthy Bruno or Szoboszlai.
OneFPL verdict
Bruno: hold if your squad has injury fires; sell if the move gets you Saka or fixes structure.
Szoboszlai: more straightforward sell because Liverpool's schedule is harder and the cheaper replacements are strong.
FAQ
Should I sell Bruno Fernandes for GW6?
Not if you have more urgent injury problems. His price is high, but Tottenham at home and his set pieces keep him relevant.
Should I sell Szoboszlai?
His tougher fixture run makes a sale easier to justify, especially if Josh King or another cheaper midfielder improves the squad.
Bruno or Saka?
Saka currently offers a stronger combination of price, fixture and underlying threat for many managers.
Best Szoboszlai replacement?
King is the clearest fixture-led cheap route, while Schade and Tavernier offer stronger direct goal-threat profiles.
What the underlying role says
Bruno's premium price is easier to defend when he continues to dominate:
- penalties;
- direct and indirect set pieces;
- central chance creation;
- 90-minute expectation.
Szoboszlai's price is much lower, but Liverpool's schedule reduces the immediate fixture upside and makes cheaper replacements more attractive.
The hit question
Do not take a points hit simply to move one healthy midfielder to another unless the transfer also solves a captaincy or structural issue.
For example:
Bruno → Saka for a hit can make sense if Saka becomes your captain and the saving improves another position.
Szoboszlai → King for a hit is harder to justify if both are expected to start and you are only chasing one fixture.
Team-value consideration
Bruno's price makes him easier to move away from because the sale creates substantial flexibility.
Szoboszlai's lower price means the saving from a downgrade is smaller, so the replacement needs a stronger football case.
Longer-term plan
If you keep Bruno for Tottenham, set a review point immediately after the fixture.
If you keep Szoboszlai through the difficult run, make sure you are doing it because of role and not simply because you dislike making transfers.
