Price Changes: A Flurry of Activity in the FPL Market

Today saw a significant shake-up in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) market, with a total of 30 price changes occurring. This article delves into the most notable risers and fallers, providing crucial insights for FPL managers looking to optimize their squads.

Price Rises ⬆️

Erling Haaland (£15.1m) - Manchester City The Norwegian goal machine has seen his price soar to a staggering £15.1m, making him the most expensive player in FPL history. Haaland's blistering start to the season justifies this increase, having amassed 24 points in just two gameweeks. His recent performances include a 7-point haul against Chelsea and a mammoth 17 points against Ipswich. With upcoming fixtures against West Ham (A), Brentford (H), and Arsenal (H), Haaland remains a must-have despite his premium price tag.

Danny Welbeck (£5.6m) - Brighton Welbeck has emerged as a budget-friendly forward option, rising to £5.6m after an impressive start to the season. The English striker has accumulated 21 points in two gameweeks, including a 12-point haul against Everton and 9 points against Manchester United. Brighton's upcoming fixtures against Arsenal (A), Ipswich (H), and Nottingham Forest (H) offer mixed prospects, but Welbeck's form makes him an intriguing option.

Kaoru Mitoma (£6.6m) - Brighton The Japanese midfielder has seen his price increase to £6.6m following consistent performances. Mitoma has registered 13 points over two gameweeks, with 8 points against Everton and 5 against Manchester United. Brighton's fixture list mirrors that of Welbeck, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the creative midfielder.
