FPL Gameweek 19 Deadline
Deadline time, top transfers, and captain picks for GW19.
The Gameweek 19 deadline locks all FPL squads on Tuesday, 30 December 2025 at 18:00 GMT. After this point, no transfers, captaincy changes, or chip activations can be made until the following gameweek opens. Planning your moves before the cut-off is essential to avoid panic decisions and missed price changes.
With Watkins leading the transfer charts at +95,835 net transfers in, followed by Bowen (+66,006), the community is clearly signalling their preferred moves for GW19. On the captaincy front, O'Reilly (form 7.0, owned by 13.6%) emerges as the standout armband candidate this week. Review the checklist and tables below to finalise your squad before time runs out.
