FPL Price Changes: Mbeumo Rises as Fernandes Falls

Today saw five price changes in Fantasy Premier League, with one player rising and four experiencing a decrease in value. Let's delve into the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers' strategies.

Price Rise ⬆️

Bryan Mbeumo (£7.9m, Brentford)

Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has seen his price increase to £7.9m, reflecting his growing popularity among FPL managers. Currently selected by 33.9% of teams, Mbeumo has amassed an impressive 147 points this season. His recent form has been solid, with 7 points in his last outing against Crystal Palace, where Brentford secured a 2-1 away victory.

Looking ahead, Mbeumo faces a mixed bag of fixtures. A tough home match against Tottenham is followed by an away trip to West Ham and a home game against Leicester. While these fixtures present challenges, Mbeumo's consistent performances make him a tempting option for FPL managers.

Price Falls ⬇️

Bruno Fernandes (£8.3m, Manchester United)

Manchester United's talisman Bruno Fernandes has experienced a price drop to £8.3m. Despite being owned by 9.5% of managers, Fernandes' recent performances have been somewhat underwhelming. In his last three fixtures, he's managed just 15 points, with his highest return being an 8-point haul against Brighton.

Fernandes' upcoming fixtures are a mixed bag. A home game against Crystal Palace could provide opportunities, but this is followed by challenging away matches against Tottenham and Everton. Interestingly, Manchester United have a fixture in the FA Cup fourth round against Ipswich Town, which could impact their Premier League schedule.

Low Ownership Price Falls

Several low ownership players have also seen their prices decrease:

• Christian Eriksen (Manchester United) - Now £5.2m
• Carlos Miguel (Nottingham Forest) - Now £4.1m
• Yukinari Sugawara (Southampton) - Now £4.2m

These players, all owned by less than 0.2% of managers, may present differential options for those looking to take a punt on lesser-owned assets.

The FPL landscape is constantly evolving, with player prices fluctuating based on form, fixtures, and manager sentiment. To stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions, be sure to check the latest price predictions at Fantasy Football Fix.
