FPL Price Changes: Nine Players on the Move

In today's Fantasy Premier League market, we've seen a total of nine price changes, with all of them being price falls. Let's dive into the details of these fluctuations and what they mean for FPL managers.

Price Falls 📉

Gabriel (Arsenal) - £6.3m The Arsenal defender has seen his price drop to £6.3m, despite maintaining a high ownership of 27.5%. Gabriel's recent performances have been a mixed bag, with just 9 points from his last three matches. However, his clean sheet and 7-point haul against Wolves in Gameweek 23 shows he still has potential. Arsenal's upcoming fixtures look promising, with Leicester (A), West Ham (H), and Nottingham Forest (A) in the next three gameweeks.

Mateta (Crystal Palace) - £7.3m Crystal Palace's forward has fallen to £7.3m after a disappointing 2-point return against Brentford in Gameweek 23. However, Mateta's form prior to that was impressive, with 21 points in the two previous gameweeks, including a brace against West Ham. Palace's upcoming fixtures are relatively favourable, with Everton (H), Fulham (A), and Aston Villa (H) on the horizon.

Low Ownership Price Falls

Several players with less than 5% ownership have also seen price drops:

• Strand Larsen (Wolves) - Now £5.2m
• Estupiñán (Brighton) - Now £4.9m
• Adingra (Brighton) - Now £5.1m
• Summerville (West Ham) - Now £5.5m
• Carson (Man City) - Now £3.9m
• Scarlett (Spurs) - Now £4.4m
• Forbs (Wolves) - Now £5.4m

These price falls could present opportunities for FPL managers looking for differential picks or budget options to free up funds for premium assets.

Notable Absences

Interestingly, there were no significant price rises reported today. This could indicate a period of stability in the FPL market or a lack of standout performances in recent gameweeks that would typically drive price increases.

Looking Ahead

As we approach Gameweek 25, it's crucial for FPL managers to stay informed about these price changes. The falls in Gabriel and Mateta's prices, in particular, could influence transfer decisions, especially considering their upcoming fixtures and recent form.

Gabriel's clean sheet potential with Arsenal's favourable run of games might still make him an attractive option despite the price drop. Mateta, on the other hand, will need to rediscover his scoring touch to justify his price tag, even after the fall.

For those considering the lower-owned players who have dropped in price, it's essential to weigh the potential value against their playing time and upcoming fixtures. Some of these budget options could prove to be shrewd investments if they secure regular starting spots in their teams.

As always in FPL, timing is everything. These price changes could create opportunities for managers to reshape their squads, whether by capitalizing on reduced prices for potential point-scorers or by freeing up funds to invest elsewhere.
