FPL Price Changes: Key Movements to Watch for the Upcoming Gameweek
As the new gameweek approaches, Fantasy Premier League managers are closely monitoring player price changes. Understanding these movements can be crucial for making strategic transfers and gaining an edge over your competitors. Tonight, several players are set for price adjustments, reflecting their recent performances and transfer activity. Let's delve into the details of who's rising, who's falling, and what it means for your FPL team.
Players Set to Rise
Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)
- Price Change: Set to rise from £5.6m
- Transfer Activity: 105,243 purchases this gameweek
- Form: 7.2
- Ownership: 5.1%
Kluivert's impressive form and attacking contributions have caught the eye of many FPL managers. With a form rating of 7.2, he's becoming a popular budget-friendly option in midfield. His upcoming fixtures include some favourable matchups, making him an appealing prospect for those looking to capitalise on Bournemouth's potential for goals.
Chris Wood (Nott'm Forest)
- Price Change: Set to rise from £7.1m
- Transfer Activity: 70,250 purchases this gameweek
- Form: 7.5
- Ownership: 41.9%
Wood has been in scintillating form, with an impressive form rating of 7.5. His consistent performances have led to a surge in ownership, making him a key asset for many managers. With favourable fixtures on the horizon, Wood could continue to deliver valuable points.
Phil Foden (Man City)
- Price Change: Set to rise from £9.3m
- Transfer Activity: 64,799 purchases this gameweek
- Form: 9.8
- Ownership: 7.1%
Foden's role in a potent Man City attack makes him an enticing option. With a near-perfect form rating of 9.8, FPL managers are flocking to include him in their squads. City's upcoming fixtures are promising, further enhancing Foden's appeal.
Players Set to Fall
Alisson Ramses Becker (Liverpool)
- Price Change: Set to rise from £5.5m
- Transfer Activity: 24,056 purchases this gameweek
- Form: 3.5
- Ownership: 7.3%
Alisson's form may not be stellar, but his ability to deliver clean sheets keeps him in demand. Liverpool's defensive stability in the upcoming fixtures could see his form improve, making him a reliable option for those prioritising defensive points.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £4.6m
- Transfer Activity: 6,442 sales this gameweek
- Form: 2.5
- Ownership: 5.1%
Wan-Bissaka's limited attacking returns and West Ham's inconsistent defensive performances have led to a drop in demand. Managers might be looking at alternatives with better form or fixtures.
Ashley Young (Everton)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £4.6m
- Transfer Activity: 5,540 sales this gameweek
- Form: 1.7
- Ownership: 3.1%
Young has struggled to make a significant impact at Everton, reflected in his low form rating. With his price set to fall, managers are likely seeking more reliable options in defence.
Alejandro Garnacho (Man Utd)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £5.9m
- Transfer Activity: 2,473 sales this gameweek
- Form: 1.3
- Ownership: 4.9%
Despite his potential, Garnacho's recent performances have been underwhelming. With a challenging set of fixtures, many managers are opting for more in-form midfielders.
Alphonse Areola (West Ham)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £4.2m
- Transfer Activity: 1,527 sales this gameweek
- Form: 0.7
- Ownership: 3.8%
Areola's limited game time and West Ham's defensive vulnerabilities have seen his form plummet. Managers are moving him out in search of more secure options between the sticks.
Will Lankshear (Spurs)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £4.5m
- Transfer Activity: 1,017 sales this gameweek
- Form: 0.0
- Ownership: 1.5%
Lankshear's lack of involvement in Spurs' matches has made him surplus to requirements for FPL managers. His price drop reflects the need to free up funds for more active players.
Facundo Buonanotte (Leicester)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £4.7m
- Transfer Activity: 832 sales this gameweek
- Form: 1.3
- Ownership: 0.6%
Buonanotte's minimal contribution has led to a decline in his ownership. With Leicester's mixed form, he's not seen as a viable option by many managers.
Pedro Lomba Neto (Chelsea)
- Price Change: Set to fall from £6.2m
- Transfer Activity: 381 sales this gameweek
- Form: 1.3
- Ownership: 0.6%
Neto's form has dipped, making him a less attractive option for managers. Chelsea's current struggles haven't helped his cause, prompting a sell-off.
Conclusion
With price changes looming, FPL managers should carefully consider their transfer strategies. Players like Kluivert and Foden offer excellent potential for returns, while those seeing price drops might need reassessment. Monitoring fixtures and form will be key in making informed decisions that maximise points potential in the coming gameweeks. As always, adaptability and foresight will be your best tools in navigating these changes.
