Extra gameweek 16 transfer in front of Afcon

---

Alright, but regardless of defensive contribution points, chips twice as many, elite league and more assists, what has ever been done by Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for us?

Giving us additional transfer to help handle output ahead of the African Cup (Afcon), that’s what happened.

How many additional transfers – and when?

At Gameweek 16, FPL managers will have free transfer allowances above up to five – regardless of what they have collected.

When will Afcon take place?

Afcon will take place between Sunday 21 December 2025 And Sunday 18 January 2026.

But the Premier League players will leave for their country earlier than the date above. How early is a big question.

Usually, the club must release players 14 days before the continent championship.

If the rule is upheld, the Premier League team will lose their players for Gameweek 16 at least.

However, we have seen a man’s agreement between Afcon and the Premier League in recent years. That allows players to leave as slowly as possible.

So, if the same bargains are beaten, wrong and Co may be able to complete their gameweek 16 equipment before flying.

FPL did not leave anything for chance, however, increasing everyone’s free transfer allowance to five in front of Gameweek 16.

Maximize your transfer in Gameweek 15?

Strategy, the initial thought is that it will be useful to spend your free transfer when the Gameweek 15 deadline has passed.

This will give you four free transfers, as well as your normal weekly, for gameweek 16.

If you are going to play two gameweek 16, on the contrary, you will only get a) your normal weekly free transfer and two.

Which player will go to Afcon?

Mohamed Salah, Bryan Mbeumo And Yoane warned will be one of the big names heading to Afcon this winter.
