Over 500,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have transferred Chelsea star Noni Madueke into their squads ahead of GW3.
Madueke’s stunning hat-trick against Wolves on the second weekend of the season has seen a huge upsurge of gaffers include him for the game against Crystal Palace on September 1.
Unsurprisingly, Madueke’s price has also risen to £6.5m after his Player of the Match display at Molineux. At the time of writing, exactly 557,088 players have added the 22-year-old.
Prior to his exploits against Gary O’Neil’s side, just 4.2% of Fantasy Premier League managers were wise enough to have him in their XI.

Noni Madueke FPL
Consequently, Noni Madueke’s haul against Wolves means he is the most transferred in player ahead of GW3. Chelsea are set to face Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, West Ham and Brighton in September.
Many will be quietly confident that Madueke can continue his rich vein of form and secure some valuable FPL points. The second most transferred player is Fulham’s record-signing Emile Smith Rowe (543,688).
The English midfielder registered 10 points on GW 3 against newly promoted Leicester. Madueke’s teammate Cole Palmer is fourth behind Danny Welbeck.
Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland completes the top five. The Norwegian goal-getter completed a treble against Ipswich Town at the Etihad on GW2.

Chelsea’s Premier League Fixtures
Noni Madueke FPL managers will be eager to see how the Chelsea star performs in the upcoming fixtures. Crystal Palace are the visitors to west London on September 1.
The Eagles suffered a somewhat surprise defeat at home to West Ham on GW2. Subsequently, star midfielder Eberechi Eze has been transferred out by 413,360 Fantasy Premier League managers.
Appealing fixtures against Bournemouth, the Hammers and Brighton complete Madueke’s month. In theory, there are plenty of points up for grabs for managers to potentially secure.
