Chelsea forward Joao Pedro has become the most transferred in FPL player for Gameweek 3.
Over 600,000 FPL managers have added the Brazilian to their squads.
He began the 2025/26 Fantasy campaign as a fan favourite, but his stock took a hit after the goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Matchday 1.
Joao Pedro Shines as Chelsea Put Five Goals Past West Ham
Chelsea began the 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a drab goalless draw at Crystal Palace. Joao Pedro, who scored three goals in as many games for the Blues at the FIFA Club World Cup, delivered an underwhelming performance before being subbed for Liam Delap.
On Matchday 2, Chelsea bounced back, claiming a commanding 5-1 win over West Ham United away at London Stadium. Pedro scored the first goal for the Blues, dispatching a fine header following a fine delivery from Marc Cucurella.

In the 23rd minute, Pedro delivered an inviting cross across the face of the West Ham goal. Pedro Neto volleyed the ball into the back of the net.
Pedro added another assist to his tally in the 58th minute, teeing up Trevoh Chalobah for Chelsea’s fifth of the game.
The 23-year-old also created two big chances, made two headed clearances, and won six of eight aerial duels.
Chelsea face Fulham at Stamford Bridge this weekend, and they are 8/15 with football betting sites to secure three points.
