FPL Price Changes: Key Players to Watch Ahead of the Upcoming Gameweek
As the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season heats up, price changes can significantly impact your team value and transfer strategy. With price fluctuations set to occur tonight, it's crucial for FPL managers to stay informed. Below, we delve into some of the key players whose prices are set to change and provide insights into their recent performances and what this might mean for your FPL team.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
Price Change: Set to fall from £9.4m
Transfer Activity: 29,797 sales this gameweek
Form: 4.2
Ownership: 52.7%
Alexander Isak's anticipated price drop from £9.4m comes as a surprise to many, given his potential on the field. However, his recent form of 4.2 might not justify his high price tag for some managers, leading to over 29,000 sales this gameweek. Isak's ownership remains high at 52.7%, indicating that many managers still have faith in his ability to deliver.
As Newcastle faces a challenging fixture list in the coming weeks, including matches against top-tier teams, Isak's value could fluctuate further. FPL managers should weigh his potential to bounce back against the tough opposition before making a decision.
Morgan Gibbs-White (Nott'm Forest)
Price Change: Set to rise from £6.5m
Transfer Activity: 17,154 purchases this gameweek
Form: 4.5
Ownership: 7.2%
Morgan Gibbs-White is set for a price increase, reflecting his recent uptick in form. With a form rating of 4.5 and over 17,000 new purchases, Gibbs-White is becoming a popular midfield option for managers looking for value. His ownership is relatively low at 7.2%, which presents an opportunity for managers seeking differential picks.
Nott'm Forest's upcoming fixtures are somewhat favourable, and Gibbs-White could continue to be a reliable source of points. Managers should consider his potential for both assists and goals as they plan their transfers.
Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães (Arsenal)
Price Change: Set to rise from £6.3m
Transfer Activity: 3,835 purchases this gameweek
Form: 4.2
Ownership: 30%
Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães is another player on the rise, with his price set to go up to £6.3m. Arsenal's solid defensive performances have boosted his appeal, leading to nearly 4,000 new purchases. Gabriel's steady form and the Gunners' strong upcoming fixtures make him an attractive option for managers bolstering their defence.
His 30% ownership suggests he is a trusted asset, but managers should keep an eye on Arsenal's defensive lineup to ensure his continued starts.
Martin Dúbravka (Newcastle)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4.3m
Transfer Activity: 1,180 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.2
Ownership: 2.3%
Martin Dúbravka's price is set to decline due to his limited appearances and form rating of just 0.2. With only 2.3% ownership and over 1,000 sales this gameweek, managers are seeking more reliable options between the sticks.
Newcastle's challenging fixture schedule and Dúbravka's uncertain position as a starter make him a risky choice. Managers should consider the potential for rotation and look for more consistent goalkeeping options.
Conclusion
As FPL managers navigate the complexities of price changes, understanding the underlying reasons for these fluctuations is vital. Whether it's capitalizing on a player's rising form or offloading assets that are dropping in value, informed decisions can make all the difference in climbing the ranks. Keep a close eye on fixtures and remember to balance short-term gains with long-term strategy. Good luck for the upcoming gameweek!
