Is that transfer hit actually worth it?
Compare the points you expect from keeping your player with the replacement you are considering. The calculator subtracts the hit and shows the real projected gain.

This is a decision check, not a points forecast. Use realistic estimates that already reflect fixtures, expected minutes and injury risk.

The maths is simple. The estimates are the hard part.
Start with the points you expect each player to score across the next four Gameweeks. Include expected minutes, fixture difficulty, set pieces, penalties and injury risk. If a player is likely to miss a match, that should reduce their estimate.
The calculator subtracts the outgoing player and the transfer cost from the incoming player. A positive result means the move is ahead on your estimates. It does not guarantee that the move will work.
Do not forget the hidden costs
A close projected gain may disappear if the new player is rotated, if you lose stored team value, or if the transfer blocks another move. A larger gain is more robust. This is why the result separates a close call from a strong case.
Also ask whether the new player enters your starting XI. A transfer that only improves the third bench position may never realise the projected advantage.
Transfer hit questions
How many points does an extra FPL transfer cost?
Each transfer above your available free transfers normally costs 4 points. Two extra transfers cost 8 points.
When is a 4-point hit worth taking?
A hit becomes attractive when the incoming player is likely to outscore the outgoing player by more than four points over your planning window, after allowing for uncertainty and the value of flexibility.
Should I judge the transfer over one Gameweek?
Usually no. Unless the move solves an immediate absence or supports a chip, compare players over three to five Gameweeks. One match is highly unpredictable.
