FPL Price Changes: Key Player Movements Ahead of the Gameweek

As Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers gear up for the upcoming gameweek, it's crucial to keep an eye on player price changes that can impact your budget and squad decisions. Here's a detailed look at some of the most notable price movements happening tonight, along with insights into each player's performance and potential value.

Gabriel Fernando de Jesus (Arsenal)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £6.9m
  
• Transfer Activity: 132,454 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 8.0
  
• Ownership: 7.4%

Gabriel Jesus is set for a price drop despite his relatively strong form. The surge in sales could be due to Arsenal's challenging fixture list or managers opting for other in-form forwards. For FPL managers, this price drop might present an opportunity to buy low if they believe in Arsenal's attacking potential in future matches.

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £7.6m
  
• Transfer Activity: 103,042 purchases this gameweek
  
• Form: 7.2
  
• Ownership: 21%

Anthony Gordon's price is on the rise, reflecting his increasing popularity among FPL managers. His consistent performances and Newcastle's favourable upcoming fixtures make him an attractive midfield option. Managers looking to capitalise on form and fixtures might consider bringing him into their squads.

Bruno Borges Fernandes (Man Utd)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £8.3m
  
• Transfer Activity: 68,121 purchases this gameweek
  
• Form: 3.2
  
• Ownership: 9.9%

Bruno Fernandes' price increase suggests a renewed faith in his potential to deliver, despite a modest form rating. Managers might be banking on Man Utd's upcoming fixtures to see a return to his influential performances. Patience could pay off for those investing early.

Luis Díaz (Liverpool)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £7.6m
  
• Transfer Activity: 46,241 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 5.8
  
• Ownership: 21.4%

Luis Díaz faces a price drop amid mixed performances and Liverpool's fierce competition for starting spots. His sales might be due to managers seeking alternatives with more guaranteed playing time. Keeping an eye on his role and Liverpool's rotation could be crucial.

Enzo Fernández (Chelsea)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £5m
  
• Transfer Activity: 28,519 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 2.4
  
• Ownership: 8.1%

Enzo Fernández's dropping price reflects Chelsea's struggles and his low form. With Chelsea's fixtures not offering immediate relief, managers may opt to offload him in search of more productive midfield options.

Cody Gakpo (Liverpool)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £7.4m
  
• Transfer Activity: 26,377 purchases this gameweek
  
• Form: 6.0
  
• Ownership: 8.4%

Cody Gakpo's form and Liverpool's attacking prowess make him a rising star in FPL. His price increase is justified by his potential to deliver points, especially with Liverpool's favourable attacking fixtures on the horizon.

Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £6.5m
  
• Transfer Activity: 13,972 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 4.8
  
• Ownership: 6.5%

Dejan Kulusevski's price drop is a reflection of Spurs' inconsistent performances. FPL managers might be cautious, waiting for a turnaround in form before considering investment.

Pedro Porro (Spurs)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £5.5m
  
• Transfer Activity: 12,066 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 2.8
  
• Ownership: 23.5%

Pedro Porro's decline in price points to defensive frailties and lack of attacking returns. With Spurs' upcoming fixtures posing challenges, FPL managers might look elsewhere for defensive stability.

Ola Aina (Nott'm Forest)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £5.2m
  
• Transfer Activity: 11,579 purchases this gameweek
  
• Form: 8.8
  
• Ownership: 24.9%

Ola Aina's impressive form earns him a price increase, making him a valuable asset in defence. His ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch makes him a popular pick among managers seeking differential options.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £7.4m
  
• Transfer Activity: 10,481 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 3.4
  
• Ownership: 3.3%

Jarrod Bowen's price decline is attributed to his dip in form and West Ham's tough fixtures. Managers might be hesitant to hold onto him unless his form improves.

Pau Torres (Aston Villa)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £4.3m
  
• Transfer Activity: 2,395 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 1.0
  
• Ownership: 1%

Pau Torres sees a price drop due to limited returns and Villa's defensive issues. FPL managers might avoid him until there's a clear improvement in form and fixtures.

Emerson Palmieri dos Santos (West Ham)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £4.4m
  
• Transfer Activity: 1,142 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 1.6
  
• Ownership: 0.7%

Emerson Palmieri's price drop is in line with West Ham's defensive struggles. Unless there's a tactical shift or defensive improvement, his appeal remains limited.

Danny Ward (Leicester)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £4m
  
• Transfer Activity: 655 sales this gameweek
  
• Form: 0.2
  
• Ownership: 1.8%

Danny Ward's price drop is unsurprising given Leicester's defensive woes and his low form. Managers might seek alternatives with better clean sheet potential.
