FPL Price Changes: Key Players to Watch this Gameweek
As we edge closer to the next gameweek, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are keeping a keen eye on player price changes. Tonight, several players are set to experience a decrease in their FPL price, which could impact your team strategy. Here's a look at some of the notable players affected and what it means for your fantasy squad.
Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6m
Transfer Activity: 14,455 sales this gameweek
Form: 1.4
Ownership: 10.9%
Justin Kluivert's imminent price drop is a reflection of his recent performances on the pitch. With a form rating of just 1.4, Kluivert has struggled to make significant impacts in his recent outings for Bournemouth. As a result, over 14,000 managers have opted to transfer him out this gameweek.
For FPL managers, this price drop could be an opportunity to either cut losses or hold tight if you believe in his potential to bounce back. Bournemouth's upcoming fixtures will be crucial, and if Kluivert can regain form, he may become a valuable asset again.
Bruno Guimarães Rodriguez Moura (Newcastle)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6.2m
Transfer Activity: 7,058 sales this gameweek
Form: 2.7
Ownership: 3%
Bruno Guimarães has seen a dip in his FPL price, owing to a relatively modest form of 2.7 and just over 7,000 managers transferring him out. Despite Newcastle's generally strong performances, Guimarães has not hit the heights expected by his owners.
Managers should consider Newcastle's fixture list and any potential injuries or tactical changes that might influence Guimarães' role in the team. His ownership remains low, which might appeal to those looking for differential options.
Jarell Quansah (Liverpool)
Price Change: Set to fall from £3.9m
Transfer Activity: 664 sales this gameweek
Form: -0.2
Ownership: 1.1%
Jarell Quansah's price drop comes as little surprise, with a form rating of -0.2 and limited minutes on the pitch for Liverpool. His low ownership and minimal transfer activity indicate that he's not a popular choice among managers, likely due to his rotational status within the squad.
For those managers looking to free up funds, Quansah's price fall might be the cue to look elsewhere, particularly as Liverpool faces a challenging set of fixtures.
James Hill (Bournemouth)
Price Change: Set to fall from £3.9m
Transfer Activity: 501 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.0
Ownership: 0.5%
James Hill is another Bournemouth player set for a price decrease. With minimal impact in terms of FPL points, Hill has not been a popular pick, reflected in his low ownership and transfer activity.
Managers should be cautious about investing in Bournemouth defenders given their current form and upcoming fixtures. It might be worth exploring more consistent options in the same price bracket.
Conclusion
As prices fluctuate, FPL managers must stay proactive, assessing form, fixtures, and team needs. The potential price drops of Kluivert, Guimarães, Quansah, and Hill this gameweek highlight the importance of monitoring both player performance and market activity.
