Reports suggest Jack Grealish may be nearing an exit from Manchester City following his absence from the club's pre-season tour. FPL managers should monitor this situation closely, as any potential transfer away from the Premier League would remove a long-standing midfield asset from the game.

What it means for FPL managers
For current owners, the decision is straightforward: hold off on any transfers until the situation clarifies. With Grealish currently flagged with a 75% chance of playing and his form at 0.0, he is not a priority target for managers looking to improve their squads.
- Minutes risk: Rotation risk
- Who gains / loses: City attackers gain potential minutes if he leaves.
- Fixture impact: Fixtures TBC
The FPL verdict
Verdict: AVOID - Given the uncertainty surrounding his future and his recent FPL output, Grealish is a clear avoid. His expected points of 1.7 for the next gameweek reflect his lack of consistent involvement and limited attacking returns this season. Even if he remains at Manchester City, he faces significant rotation risk, and his low ownership suggests that he is not currently a viable differential for most squads.
