GW4 estimates · 300 managers per cohort · Updated 14 Sept, 06:06 UTC

A daily sample spread across 20 rank bands in each cohort, using FPL's Overall standings at collection time (including its tie order). These are estimates, so small percentage differences can be sampling noise. Ownership counts all 15 players in the published GW4 squad, including the bench; transfers since the deadline are private. EO (effective ownership) uses FPL's scoring multipliers: captains count twice, triple captains three times, and only scoring players count. EO is provisional and can change as FPL applies substitutions.

Daily since 9 Aug: blue is price, grey is ownership, dots are the days the price moved (1 so far).
