FPL Price Changes: Key Movements Ahead of the Gameweek
As Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for the upcoming gameweek, it's crucial to keep an eye on price changes that could impact your squad's value and strategy. Tonight, several players are set to experience price movements that could influence transfer decisions. Let's delve into the details.
Enzo Fernández (Chelsea)
Price Change: Set to fall from £5.1m
Transfer Activity: 5,265 sales this gameweek
Form: 2.4
Ownership: 8.4%
Enzo Fernández's anticipated price drop comes as no surprise considering his current form and Chelsea's inconsistent performances. With only a 2.4 form rating, many managers are opting to offload him in search of more reliable midfield options. His decline in value reflects a growing lack of confidence among FPL managers, reinforced by Chelsea's challenging upcoming fixtures.
For managers, this drop means it's an opportune moment to consider alternatives who might provide better returns and stability. Keep an eye on Chelsea's fixtures, as a turnaround in form could make Fernández an appealing budget option in the future.
Ola Aina (Nott'm Forest)
Price Change: Set to rise from £5.2m
Transfer Activity: 4,210 purchases this gameweek
Form: 7.4
Ownership: 24.8%
Ola Aina's price rise is a testament to his impressive form, boasting a form rating of 7.4. Nott'm Forest's recent solid defensive displays have made Aina a popular choice among FPL managers looking for a cost-effective defender with high ownership and potential for clean sheets.
As his value increases, managers who already own him can enjoy the benefits of his potential points haul. Those looking to bring him in should act fast before his price rises further. Forest's upcoming fixtures also seem favourable, suggesting that Aina could continue to offer value in the weeks ahead.
Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal)
Price Change: Set to fall from £8.4m
Transfer Activity: 2,479 sales this gameweek
Form: 2.2
Ownership: 6.1%
Despite being a key player for Arsenal, Martin Ødegaard's dwindling FPL form has prompted many managers to seek alternatives. With a form rating of just 2.2, his influence on the pitch hasn't translated into FPL points recently, leading to a drop in his ownership and price.
For those considering selling, it's worth examining Arsenal's upcoming fixtures and any potential for Ødegaard to regain his form. However, if you need immediate returns, reallocating funds to a more in-form midfielder might be wise.
Jannik Vestergaard (Leicester)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4m
Transfer Activity: 155 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.2
Ownership: 1.5%
Jannik Vestergaard's minimal involvement and form of 0.2 make his price drop almost inevitable. With limited game time at Leicester and a low ownership percentage, he's not a popular choice among FPL managers seeking active and productive squad members.
For managers still holding Vestergaard, it's time to consider moving him on, particularly if you're looking to free up funds or secure a playing defender. Leicester's defensive frailties don't offer much reassurance for future investment in their backline.
Conclusion
As we approach the next gameweek, these price changes highlight the dynamic nature of FPL and the importance of staying informed. Enzo Fernández and Martin Ødegaard are falling out of favour, while Ola Aina continues to rise as a defensive asset. Jannik Vestergaard remains a non-factor, and managers should look elsewhere for value.
Keep an eye on fixtures and player performances to ensure your squad is optimally set up for the challenges ahead. Happy managing!
