FPL Price Changes: Five Players on the Move

Today's Fantasy Premier League market saw five players experience price changes, with two rising and three falling. Let's dive into the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers' strategies.

Price Rises ⬆️

Cole Palmer (Chelsea, Midfielder) Palmer's price has surged to £10.9m, reflecting his growing popularity among FPL managers. With a whopping 51.9% ownership, the Chelsea midfielder has been in scintillating form. His recent performances include a 25-point haul against Brighton, where he scored a hat-trick and provided an assist. However, his output has dipped in the last two games, managing just 8 points combined against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. Palmer faces a mixed bag of fixtures ahead, with Newcastle (H) and Arsenal (H) sandwiching a tricky away trip to Manchester United.

Michael Keane (Everton, Defender) Keane's price has increased to £4.2m, making him an attractive budget defender option. The Everton centre-back has started the last two games, keeping a clean sheet against Newcastle and scoring a goal in the 2-0 win over Ipswich. With 8.2% ownership, Keane could be a shrewd differential pick. Everton's upcoming fixtures look promising, with Fulham (H), Southampton (A), and West Ham (A) in their next three.

Price Falls ⬇️

Low Ownership Players

Jacob Murphy (Newcastle, Midfielder) - Now £5.1m Benoit Badiashile (Chelsea, Defender) - Now £4.3m Joao Araujo (Bournemouth, Defender) - Now £4.4m

These players, all with less than 1% ownership, have seen their prices drop. While they may offer differential potential, their lack of game time and inconsistent performances make them risky FPL assets.

Jacob Murphy has struggled for minutes in Newcastle's competitive midfield, while Benoit Badiashile has yet to feature for Chelsea this season due to injury concerns. Joao Araujo, a new signing for Bournemouth, is still adapting to the Premier League and hasn't secured a regular starting spot.

FPL managers should approach these low-ownership options with caution, considering their price drops may indicate a lack of form or playing time. However, for those looking for a high-risk, high-reward strategy, these players could offer significant value if they break into their respective starting lineups.

As always, FPL managers should stay informed about the latest price predictions and trends. For up-to-the-minute information on potential price changes, be sure to check out Fantasy Football Fix's price change predictor.
