Transfer recommendations factor in form trajectory over the last 5 gameweeks, fixture swing across the next 6 matches (avg FDR: 3.0), price change probability based on net transfer volume (+4 this GW), and ownership trends among all managers.

Alternatives are filtered to the same position within ±£1.5m of Tanaka's price and ranked by recent form. All data sourced from the official FPL API, refreshed every 3 hours.
