FPL Price Changes: Key Updates for the Upcoming Gameweek
As we edge closer to the next gameweek, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are keeping a close watch on price changes that could impact their squads. Tonight, several players are set for price adjustments based on transfer activity and performance. Here's a rundown of who's rising, who's falling, and what it means for your FPL strategy.
Rising Stars
Chris Wood (Nott'm Forest)
Price Change: Set to rise from £7m
Transfer Activity: 305,308 purchases this gameweek
Form: 6.6
Ownership: 39.3%
Chris Wood has been in scintillating form, with a current form rating of 6.6. His impressive performances have attracted over 305,000 FPL managers to bring him into their squads this week. With a high ownership of 39.3%, Wood's rising price reflects his growing reputation as a reliable forward option. Nottingham Forest's upcoming fixtures look favorable, making him an attractive asset for the near future.
Antonee Robinson (Fulham)
Price Change: Set to rise from £5.1m
Transfer Activity: 38,233 purchases this gameweek
Form: 3.8
Ownership: 26.4%
Fulham's Antonee Robinson is another player whose stock is on the rise. With over 38,000 new transfers, managers are betting on his potential to deliver clean sheets and assists. At £5.1m, he offers a budget-friendly option for defensive stability. Fulham's upcoming matches could provide further opportunities for Robinson to shine.
Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
Price Change: Set to rise from £6.7m
Transfer Activity: 8,858 purchases this gameweek
Form: 4.6
Ownership: 8.9%
Eberechi Eze's artistry on the pitch has not gone unnoticed, with nearly 9,000 transfers in this gameweek. His form rating of 4.6 and Crystal Palace's relatively kind fixture list make him a compelling midfield pick. Eze's ability to create and score goals adds valuable points potential to any FPL team.
Falling Assets
João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus (Brighton)
Price Change: Set to fall from £5.6m
Transfer Activity: 45,666 sales this gameweek
Form: 4.6
Ownership: 15.3%
Despite a decent form rating, João Pedro's price is set to drop due to over 45,000 managers opting to sell. Brighton's recent performances haven't matched expectations, and with tougher fixtures on the horizon, managers may be looking elsewhere for attacking returns.
William Saliba (Arsenal)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6.3m
Transfer Activity: 41,864 sales this gameweek
Form: 3.0
Ownership: 28.1%
William Saliba's dip in form to 3.0, coupled with a challenging run of fixtures, sees his price heading downwards. Arsenal's defensive fragility has led to over 41,000 managers moving him out of their squads. However, with his high ownership, those holding onto Saliba might be hoping for a turnaround.
Gabriel Martinelli Silva (Arsenal)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6.7m
Transfer Activity: 31,128 sales this gameweek
Form: 4.2
Ownership: 3.8%
Gabriel Martinelli's price is on the decline as managers lose patience with his output. Despite his potential to deliver, his recent performances haven't translated into significant FPL points. Arsenal's fixture list doesn't offer much respite, prompting many to seek alternatives.
Jurriën Timber (Arsenal)
Price Change: Set to fall from £5.7m
Transfer Activity: 11,853 sales this gameweek
Form: 2.6
Ownership: 5.1%
Jurriën Timber has struggled to maintain a spot in FPL squads, reflected by his form of 2.6 and over 11,000 sales. Arsenal's defensive woes have contributed to his declining appeal, and with competition for starting places, Timber's value is in question.
Michael Keane (Everton)
Price Change: Set to fall from £3.9m
Transfer Activity: 7,476 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.0
Ownership: 4.7%
Michael Keane's fall from grace continues, with his price dropping to £3.9m. Everton's struggles at the back have seen Keane's form plummet to zero, and with his ownership dwindling, managers are right to look for more reliable options.
Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)
Price Change: Set to fall from £5.5m
Transfer Activity: 6,415 sales this gameweek
Form: 4.2
Ownership: 3.2%
Justin Kluivert's drop in price reflects Bournemouth's inconsistent form. Although he has shown glimpses of his potential, the lack of regular returns has seen his price on the decline. With Bournemouth facing tough opponents, Kluivert's appeal remains limited.
Nathan Collins (Brentford)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4.6m
Transfer Activity: 4,820 sales this gameweek
Form: 3.0
Ownership: 2.1%
Brentford's Nathan Collins has seen a decline in his value, with a form rating of 3.0 and limited FPL returns. As managers shift focus to more consistent performers, Collins' role in FPL remains uncertain.
Cameron Burgess (Ipswich)
Price Change: Set to fall from £3.9m
Transfer Activity: 3,401 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.0
Ownership: 2%
Cameron Burgess's price fall to £3.9m highlights the challenge of finding value in Ipswich's squad. With zero form and limited prospects for points, the FPL community is right to move on.
Dara O'Shea (Ipswich)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4m
Transfer Activity: 3,126 sales this gameweek
Form: 1.6
Ownership: 1.6%
Dara O'Shea's diminishing returns and Ipswich's struggles have seen his price decline. With a form of 1.6 and scant hope for clean sheets, managers are opting for more promising defenders.
Amadou Onana (Aston Villa)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4.8m
Transfer Activity: 1,802 sales this gameweek
Form: 1.4
Ownership: 2.5%
Amadou Onana's dip in form and squad rotation issues at Aston Villa have led to a decrease in his price. With limited minutes and output, managers are seeking more dependable midfield options.
Pedro Lomba Neto (Chelsea)
Price Change: Set to fall from £6.2m
Transfer Activity: 1,145 sales this gameweek
Form: 1.6
Ownership: 0.6%
Pedro Lomba Neto's price drop is a reflection of Chelsea's patchy form and his lack of consistent minutes on the pitch. With a low ownership, Neto is a risk many managers are unwilling to take.
Jannik Vestergaard (Leicester)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4m
Transfer Activity: 927 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.6
Ownership: 1.5%
Jannik Vestergaard's price fall is indicative of Leicester's defensive uncertainties. With a low form of 0.6, his appeal in FPL is limited, prompting managers to look for more reliable options.
Ben Chilwell (Chelsea)
Price Change: Set to fall from £4.6m
Transfer Activity: 296 sales this gameweek
Form: 0.0
Ownership: 0.5%
Ben Chilwell's minimal transfer activity and zero form have led to his price drop. With Chelsea's fluctuating performances, Chilwell's place in FPL squads is diminishing rapidly.
Conclusion
As FPL managers navigate the ever-changing landscape of player prices, it's essential to stay informed and make strategic decisions based on form, fixtures, and team dynamics. While rising stars like Chris Wood and Eberechi Eze offer promising returns, falling assets may need to be reconsidered to maintain a competitive edge. Keep an eye on upcoming fixtures and adjust your squad to capitalize on form and opportunity. Happy managing!
