FPL Price Changes: 9 Players on the Move

The Fantasy Premier League market has seen significant activity, with 9 players experiencing price changes today. Let's dive into the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers' strategies.

Price Rises ⬆️

Joško Gvardiol (Manchester City) - £6.2m

Gvardiol has seen his price increase to £6.2m, reflecting his growing popularity among FPL managers. The Croatian defender has been in impressive form recently, accumulating 20 points in his last two fixtures. Against Wolves, he secured a clean sheet and maximum bonus points, while he followed that up with another clean sheet and two bonus points against Southampton.

Looking ahead, Manchester City face a mixed run of fixtures. They have a favourable home match against Bournemouth in Gameweek 10, followed by tougher tests against Brighton and Tottenham. With a 29.4% ownership, Gvardiol is becoming a popular choice for managers seeking defensive returns from the reigning champions.

Price Falls ⬇️

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) - £6.5m

Mitoma's price has dropped to £6.5m following a string of underwhelming performances. The Japanese midfielder has managed just 8 points in his last three appearances, with limited involvement in Brighton's attacking play. His 30-minute cameo against Newcastle in Gameweek 8 was particularly disappointing for his owners.

Brighton's upcoming fixtures look challenging, with Liverpool and Manchester City in the next two gameweeks. However, things ease up from Gameweek 12 onwards, with matches against Bournemouth, Southampton, and Fulham. Managers holding onto Mitoma (6.4% ownership) may want to consider their options given the tough immediate schedule.

Low Ownership Price Falls

Several low-ownership players have also seen price drops:

• Marc Guiu (Chelsea) - £4.8m
• Ben Davies (Tottenham) - £4.3m
• Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) - £4.3m
• Jeffrey Schlupp (Crystal Palace) - £4.7m
• Wataru Endo (Liverpool) - £4.7m
• James McConnell (Liverpool) - £4.4m
• Flynn Downes (West Ham) - £4.8m

These players, all owned by less than 5% of managers, have fallen in price due to lack of game time or poor recent performances. While they may not be on many FPL managers' radars, their price drops could potentially create value in the budget defender and midfielder categories for those looking to free up funds elsewhere.

The constant flux of player prices in FPL underscores the importance of staying informed and making timely transfers. As always, it's crucial to consider both form and fixtures when making your FPL decisions.
