FPL GW15 stats: Foden rewards new owners

Man City midfielder delights the 1.6million who brought him in after 12-point haul against Sunderland

The second most-bought player of the season, Phil Foden (£8.4m), registered his third successive double-figure haul to delight the 1.6million Fantasy Premier League managers who transferred him in.

Foden impressed again with a match-high five shots, including four inside the opposition penalty area, as he scored, assisted and received a bonus point to earn 12 points as Manchester City beat Sunderland 3-0.

It's the first time Foden has produced a return when he's been the Gameweek's most-recruited player, having blanked on the previous three occasions.

Foden also broke a run of bad luck for midfield recruits; seven times this season a midfielder has been the Gameweek's No 1 transfer target, Foden is the first to score or assist.

Most transfers for Gameweek 15
Most transfers in Most transfers out
Foden 1,637,364 Semenyo 751,562
Thiago 610,815 Joao Pedro 585,115
Guimaraes 586,145 Caicedo 537,882
Woltemade 559,302 Mbeumo 436,519
Munoz 377,711 Mateta 424,322

It was a good round, too, for Gameweek 15's second most-bought midfielder, with Bruno Guimaraes (£6.8m) also rewarding his new owners. 

The Brazilian scored directly from a corner as Newcastle United won 2-1 at home to Burnley and claimed the maximum three bonus points for his fourth double-digit return this season.

There wasn't such good news for the 610,000+ who snapped up Igor Thiago (£6.8m), however, as his recent goalscoring form came to an end.

He had scored five goals in three starts heading into Saturday's encounter with Tottenham Hotspur, but he and Brentford were unable to find the back of the net as they lost 2-0.

Upcoming matches against Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers will give his owners hope this was just a blip.

The second forward among the top five recruits, Nick Woltemade (£7.5m), also failed to return. It's now one goal in seven matches for the German.

The only defender on the list, Daniel Munoz (£6.1m) disappointed his 370,000+ new owners. The Colombian was absent from the matchday squad due to a knee injury. 

No regrets for Semenyo sellers

Shipped out by more than 751,000 managers, Antoine Semenyo (£7.7m) proved that his sellers made the right decision after blanking as AFC Bournemouth drew 0-0 with Chelsea.

There were a few nervous moments, however, with Semenyo having a goal ruled out for offside as well as having a further five shots, three of which were on target.

Of the other two players to feature among the three most-sold, Joao Pedro (£7.4m) only appeared as a second-half substitute while Moises Caicedo (£5.8m) missed out through suspension.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (£8.0m) was subbed off around the hour mark for the third time in four Gameweeks, although he did pick up two points on Sunday. Despite Crystal Palace chasing a winning goal, the Frenchman's minutes continued to be managed by Oliver Glasner.
