There’s a lot of action happening in the FPL transfer market right now.
With injuries, international duty and returning players, FPL squads will look very different now than they did even at the start of the month.
There are a few popular names being brought into teams ahead of Gameweek 22, whether that’s in-form players gaining more popularity, or those returning from injuries and other absences. 
The question is, do you follow the trends?  <a href="https://www.squawka.com/">Squawka</a> is here to help you make the tricky decisions on who to sign, and who to swerve.

<h3>Kevin De Bruyne</h3>

The most-transferred-in player of the round, managers are flocking to sign Kevin De Bruyne. 
The Belgian made his return to Premier League action in the last gameweek, and it was a phenomenal performance. 
He came off the bench, and in just 21 minutes scored and assisted, wrapping up all three bonus points and 12 in total. 
In his short time on the pitch, De Bruyne also had an Expected Goal Involvement total of 0.46, showing that he is well and truly back.
However, this is an interesting case. Manchester City have a busy run coming up, so will De Bruyne get enough minutes to be putting up consistent 12-point games? It might be wise to temper expectations, especially at that price.

<h3>Cole Palmer</h3>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Position: MID</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Price: 5.8m</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers in: 252k</li>
</ul>
This is definitely a case of time to jump on the bandwagon. Cole Palmer is quickly turning into a must-have for FPL managers. He’s cheap, he’s on penalties and, most importantly, he’s scoring them. 
Chelsea have won more penalties than any other side in the Premier League this season (eight in total). 
Palmer is one of 10 players to have broken 100 points, ticking over with 10 against Fulham last time out.
 In fact, he’s had 28 points across his last two games alone, scoring twice and getting an assist against Luton. 
Against Fulham, he had an xGI of 1.53 and he leads Chelsea for chances created (28) this season with only Nicolas Jackson (45) having more shots. 
Even with Liverpool coming up, it could be worth the move at this bargain price.

<h3>Ivan Toney</h3>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Position: FOR</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Price: 8.0m</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers in: 213k</li>
</ul>
Did you miss him? Ivan Toney played for the first time in eight months in Gameweek 21, and it was like he never left. 
Starting against Nottingham Forest, Toney got off the mark for the season with a free-kick (the less said about the controversy the better).
 It was a goal that sparked many FPL managers to make a move for Toney, on top of the 247k that brought him in ahead of Gameweek 21.
 You’d expect Toney to be on penalties should Brentford get them – they’ve won three this season.
While Toney is capable of scoring against anyone, he did only have an xG of 0.11 against Forest, so the Bees may not be in the best attacking form. 
Brentford have Tottenham and Manchester City coming up, before a very tricky run of fixtures. There could be better options.

<h3>Diogo Jota</h3>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Position: MID</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Price: 7.9m</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers in: 208k</li>
</ul>
FPL managers were already suffering with Mohamed Salah at the Africa Cup of Nations, but now they have to deal with his injury too. 
You’ll look at other Liverpool players to fill his boots, so what about Diogo Jota? Back from injury, Jota has attacking returns in each of his past three matches. 
The first brought six points in six minutes against Burnley, thanks to a late goal. He then got two assists in 16 minutes against Newcastle, before three goal involvements vs Bournemouth – amassing 19 points. 
These aren’t flukey performances either. Against Newcastle, he had an xGI of 0.81, while vs Bournemouth it was 0.53, as well as 0.16 in his six minutes against Burnley. 
In terms of FPL form, only Palmer (14.0) is higher than Jota (13.0), but again this is a tough call. 
Liverpool play Chelsea, Arsenal and Brentford in their next four gameweeks, before a blank in Gameweek 26. We might swerve for now.
