FPL Price Changes: What to Expect This Gameweek
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are always on the lookout for price changes that could affect their team strategies. As we approach the upcoming gameweek, several players are set for price adjustments. Here's a detailed look at the players who are set to see changes in their FPL price tonight.
Jordan Pickford (Everton)
Price Change: Set to rise from £5.1m
Transfer Activity: 12,861 purchases this gameweek
Form: 2.5
Ownership: 16.6%
Jordan Pickford is enjoying a surge in popularity, with over 12,000 FPL managers adding him to their squads this gameweek. His form has been modest, with a 2.5 score, but Everton's improved defensive performances have caught the eye. The Toffees have a favourable run of fixtures coming up, which likely contributes to the increased interest.
What This Means for FPL Managers: With Pickford's price set to rise, now could be the ideal time to bring him in if you're looking to bolster your goalkeeper options. His ownership is already reasonably high, so this move could also help avoid missing out on potential clean sheets.
Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6m
Transfer Activity: 8,631 sales this gameweek
Form: 1.8
Ownership: 10.6%
Justin Kluivert's drop in form has led to a significant number of FPL managers opting to transfer him out. With a form rating of just 1.8, and Bournemouth struggling to find consistency, managers are looking elsewhere for midfield options.
What This Means for FPL Managers: If you hold Kluivert, it might be wise to consider alternatives, especially with his price set to drop. Keep an eye on Bournemouth's upcoming fixtures, but be prepared to make a switch if his performances don't improve.
Bruno Guimarães Rodriguez Moura (Newcastle)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6.2m
Transfer Activity: 919 sales this gameweek
Form: 3.0
Ownership: 3%
Despite a decent form score of 3.0, Bruno Guimarães is facing a price drop due to modest transfer activity. Newcastle's mixed results might be leading to uncertainty among FPL managers about his potential returns.
What This Means for FPL Managers: Bruno's price fall could present a buying opportunity if you believe in his potential to bounce back. Newcastle's fixtures are set to get easier, which might lead to improved performances.
James Hill (Bournemouth)
Price Change: Set to fall from £3.9m
Transfer Activity: 160 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.0
Ownership: 0.5%
James Hill has been largely overlooked by FPL managers, with minimal impact on the pitch reflected in his form score of 0.0. Consequently, his price is set to fall as managers move him on.
What This Means for FPL Managers: Hill's low impact and falling price suggest that he's not a viable option for fantasy teams. Consider other budget defenders who are more likely to offer returns.
Conclusion
As the FPL price changes loom, managers should be strategic about their transfers. Jordan Pickford is a potential asset with Everton's favourable fixtures, while Justin Kluivert and James Hill might be best avoided due to their declining form and price. Bruno Guimarães presents a speculative opportunity given Newcastle's fixtures. Stay informed and make transfers that align with both your team's structure and the upcoming fixture list.
