Here are the most popular transfers just one day ahead of the final deadline of the season, according to the Transfer Analytics tool.
However, things could still change quickly — a late flurry of activity is possible if there are any last-minute team news updates or leaks.
Using the Transfer Analytics tool, we can see which players highly-ranked managers are selling and bringing in ahead of the final deadline. Let’s dive in.
Saka (£10.3m) plays relegated Southampton and has underwhelmed recently with just 7 points in his last three games. However, his xFPL of 15.69 suggests he’s been unlucky and may be due a big return.
De Bruyne (£9.6m) has delivered 17 points over the same period, but his final fixture away at Fulham is less appealing. Many top managers believe Saka offers a higher ceiling for a final-day haul.
Isak (£9.4m) is flagged with a groin injury and remains a doubt for Newcastle’s trip to Everton. Eddie Howe said, "He's doing OK… he's been training individually, but kicking a ball is another matter."
With minutes uncertain, managers are opting for Evanilson (£5.8m), who has scored once and picked up 10 points in his last three appearances. The Bournemouth forward faces Leicester — the only team yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season — and also features in this week’s Top 5 Differentials article.
Watkins (£9.1m) has produced 16 points in his last three matches, including a goal and an assist. He faces a fragile Manchester United side coming off a disappointing Europa League final loss to Spurs.
With Aston Villa still fighting for a Champions League spot, Watkins' motivation and form make him an appealing transfer target.
Saliba (£6.5m) is out with a hamstring injury, making White (£6.1m) a logical alternative for Arsenal’s match against Southampton.
While White has just one assist this season, he registered 4 goals and 4 assists in 2023/24 — the most attacking returns of any Arsenal defender. A final flourish against the Saints could be on the cards.
Mateta (£7.5m) has a difficult fixture away at Liverpool and has returned just 4 points in his last three matches. His game time has also been inconsistent (75, 59, and 9 minutes), raising concerns about his minutes on the final day.
Evanilson, meanwhile, continues to attract attention as a budget-friendly option with better form and fixture. He also features in our Top 5 Bournemouth Assets article — picking the right Cherries player could be the key to a final green arrow.
Top managers are focusing on players with strong fixtures — particularly those facing relegated sides — or from clubs still fighting for European qualification.
These calculated final-day transfers could prove decisive in determining mini-league champions and final overall ranks.
