FPL Price Changes: What to Expect for the Upcoming Gameweek

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, brace yourselves for another round of price changes as the deadline looms. With gameweek transfers in full swing, here's a breakdown of the key players whose values are set to rise or fall tonight, and what it means for your fantasy team.

Price Drops

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £7.8m
• Transfer Activity: 200,993 sales this gameweek
• Form: 3.5
• Ownership: 11.6%

Jean-Philippe Mateta's recent dip in form has led to a significant number of sales. With Crystal Palace struggling to find the back of the net, many managers have decided to cut their losses. Upcoming fixtures against tough opponents might not help his case, making him a risky hold.

Omar Marmoush (Man City)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £7.7m
• Transfer Activity: 198,792 sales this gameweek
• Form: 4.4
• Ownership: 23.5%

Despite playing for Manchester City, Omar Marmoush has seen his price fall due to a lack of attacking returns. City's rotation policy and upcoming fixture congestion may further limit his minutes, prompting managers to look elsewhere for guaranteed points.

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £10.5m
• Transfer Activity: 169,023 sales this gameweek
• Form: 2.4
• Ownership: 19.5%

Bukayo Saka's recent performances have been underwhelming, leading to a price drop. Arsenal's mixed fixtures ahead mean managers are turning their attention towards more consistent midfield options.

Daniel Muñoz (Crystal Palace)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £5.3m
• Transfer Activity: 123,910 sales this gameweek
• Form: 2.5
• Ownership: 17.1%

Daniel Muñoz's defensive outputs have been lacklustre, contributing to his price drop. With Palace's defensive frailties exposed, managers are opting for more reliable defensive assets.

Ismaïla Sarr (Crystal Palace)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £5.8m
• Transfer Activity: 107,620 sales this gameweek
• Form: 2.3
• Ownership: 6.2%

Ismaïla Sarr hasn't lived up to expectations recently, resulting in a price drop. His current form is not convincing enough to retain the interest of FPL managers.

William Saliba (Arsenal)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £6.6m
• Transfer Activity: 80,761 sales this gameweek
• Form: 2.6
• Ownership: 29.4%

Saliba's decrease in price reflects Arsenal's recent defensive lapses. Although widely owned, the Gunners' upcoming fixtures don't promise clean sheets, influencing manager decisions.

João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus (Brighton)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £5.6m
• Transfer Activity: 77,161 sales this gameweek
• Form: 3.8
• Ownership: 10.9%

João Pedro's inconsistency in Brighton's rotation-heavy squad has seen his price fall. With limited attacking returns, managers are seeking more dependable forward options.

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £6.9m
• Transfer Activity: 74,275 sales this gameweek
• Form: 4.5
• Ownership: 11.2%

Eberechi Eze's potential has been overshadowed by Palace's struggles. His price drop reflects the lack of confidence in his ability to deliver points consistently.

Kevin De Bruyne (Man City)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £9.4m
• Transfer Activity: 42,821 sales this gameweek
• Form: 4.0
• Ownership: 6.2%

Despite his pedigree, Kevin De Bruyne's injury concerns and rotation risks have led to his price drop. Managers are wary of his premium price tag without guaranteed returns.

Marco Asensio (Aston Villa)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £6.2m
• Transfer Activity: 35,678 sales this gameweek
• Form: 3.6
• Ownership: 3%

Marco Asensio's lack of attacking returns at Aston Villa has prompted a price fall. With tougher fixtures on the horizon, managers are opting for more consistent midfield performers.

Lucas Digne (Aston Villa)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £4.5m
• Transfer Activity: 28,208 sales this gameweek
• Form: 1.2
• Ownership: 5.7%

Lucas Digne's defensive struggles have seen his price drop. With Villa's defence failing to secure clean sheets, his appeal has diminished among FPL managers.

Martin Dúbravka (Newcastle)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £4.1m
• Transfer Activity: 3,145 sales this gameweek
• Form: 0.0
• Ownership: 1.5%

Martin Dúbravka's lack of playtime at Newcastle has led to a price drop. With limited prospects of starting, his appeal is minimal to FPL managers.

Jarell Quansah (Liverpool)

• Price Change: Set to fall from £3.9m
• Transfer Activity: 1,203 sales this gameweek
• Form: 0.2
• Ownership: 1.1%

Jarell Quansah's price drop is a result of limited game time at Liverpool. With no guarantee of minutes, he offers little value to FPL managers.

Price Rises

Rayan Aït-Nouri (Wolves)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £5m
• Transfer Activity: 163,816 purchases this gameweek
• Form: 7.2
• Ownership: 18.1%

Rayan Aït-Nouri's strong performances and Wolves' favourable fixtures have led to a price rise. His attacking threat and clean sheet potential make him a popular choice among FPL managers.

Nikola Milenković (Nott'm Forest)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £5.1m
• Transfer Activity: 42,634 purchases this gameweek
• Form: 2.8
• Ownership: 17.4%

Nikola Milenković's solid defensive displays have caught the eye of FPL managers. With favourable fixtures, he's expected to continue delivering points.

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £6.6m
• Transfer Activity: 40,742 purchases this gameweek
• Form: 6.2
• Ownership: 27.4%

Virgil van Dijk's leadership and reliable performances at the back for Liverpool have secured him a price rise. With Liverpool's strong defensive record, he's a popular choice for managers seeking clean sheets.

Matz Sels (Nott'm Forest)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £5.1m
• Transfer Activity: 35,576 purchases this gameweek
• Form: 4.0
• Ownership: 19.9%

Matz Sels has proven to be a reliable choice for FPL managers with his consistent performances. With Forest's upcoming fixtures looking promising, his price is on the rise.

Kieran Trippier (Newcastle)

• Price Change: Set to rise from £5.6m
• Transfer Activity: 33,311 purchases this gameweek
• Form: 4.0
• Ownership: 6.9%

Kieran Trippier's attacking prowess and set-piece potential make him a valuable asset. With Newcastle's favourable run of fixtures, his price is expected to continue rising.

Conclusion

As the gameweek deadline approaches, FPL managers must keep a close eye on these price changes. Players like Rayan Aït-Nouri and Virgil van Dijk offer potential value, while the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Omar Marmoush might be best avoided until their form improves. Balancing your squad with in-form players while navigating price changes is key to climbing the ranks. Happy planning, managers, and may your transfers bring you green arrows!
