Here’s a look at who’s attracting the most attention and why.
Most Transferred-In Players in FPL for Gameweek 12
1. Bryan Mbeumo (8.5m) — 420,354 Transfers In
Manchester United’s standout performer this season leads the Gameweek 12 transfer market. With United hosting
Everton—a matchup that historically favors attacking returns—an impressive 420,354 managers have brought in Mbeumo.
His form, consistency, and set-piece duties make him the most sought-after midfielder and the most transferred-in player overall.
2. Jeremy Doku (6.4m) — 200,000+ Transfers In
After a standout performance against Liverpool in GW11, Doku’s ownership has surged. More than 200,000 managers expect his pace and direct style to keep producing returns.
His form makes him the fourth-most transferred-in player across all positions.
3. Declan Rice (6.9m) — 175,000 Transfers In
Arsenal’s midfield anchor has been one of their most reliable performers.
With two Arsenal defenders doubtful for GW12, many managers are looking for safe Gunners coverage—leading to roughly 175,000 transfers in.
4. Igor Thiago (6.3m) — 330,922 Transfers In
Thiago is the second-most transferred-in player of the week.
Even with Brentford traveling to Brighton, more than 330,922 managers have brought him in. His recent returns and central attacking role make him one of the most popular forward picks.
5. Jean-Philippe Mateta (8.1m) — High Transfer Volume
Mateta sits third overall in GW12 transfer activity. With a favorable matchup against last-place Wolves, managers are backing him to take advantage of a struggling defense.
6. Joao Pedro (7.5m) — 135,000+ Transfers In
Chelsea’s Joao Pedro has also drawn attention, with more than 135,000 new managers adding him this week. The Blues visit Burnley—a fixture many expect to produce attacking returns.
7. Daniel Munoz (5.8m) — 147,957 Transfers In
Munoz remains one of the most consistent and highest-scoring defenders this season. With 147,957 new owners, he continues to be a top defensive option thanks to reliable minutes and steady attacking output.

9. Jurrien Timber (6.2m) — 138,443 Transfers In
With Gabriel and Calafiori doubtful for GW12, more than 138,443 managers are turning to Timber. Arsenal’s favorable fixture run and his versatility make him a smart option for defensive coverage.
10. Virgil van Dijk (5.9m) — Strong Transfer Volume
Despite Liverpool’s defensive inconsistency, Van Dijk remains one of the most transferred-in defenders. Managers are encouraged by Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures: Forest at home (GW12), West Ham away (GW13), and Sunderland at home (GW14).
