FPL Price Changes: Pickford Rises as João Pedro Falls

Seven price changes have occurred in Fantasy Premier League today, with one notable rise and two significant falls. Let's delve into the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers' strategies.

Price Rises ⬆️

Jordan Pickford (£5.1m, Everton)

Everton's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has seen his price increase to £5.1m, reflecting his recent solid performances. With a double gameweek on the horizon, Pickford's stock is on the rise. In Gameweek 24, Everton face Leicester at home and Liverpool away, presenting a mix of opportunity and challenge.

Pickford's recent form has been impressive, particularly his clean sheet against Brighton in Gameweek 23, where he earned 5 points. Despite conceding in the previous two fixtures against Spurs and Aston Villa, Pickford's save potential remains high, making him an attractive option for FPL managers.

Price Falls ⬇️

João Pedro (£5.5m, Brighton)

Brighton's forward João Pedro has experienced a price drop to £5.5m. This fall comes despite his consistent starting role in the team. Brighton's upcoming fixtures are mixed, with a potentially tough match against Chelsea in Gameweek 25 sandwiched between more favourable encounters with Nottingham Forest and Southampton.

João Pedro's recent performances have been underwhelming from an FPL perspective. He's managed just 4 points over the last three gameweeks, failing to register any attacking returns. His 90-minute appearance in the 1-0 loss to Everton suggests he remains a key part of Brighton's attack, but his lack of output is concerning for FPL managers.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis (£4.0m, Southampton)

Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis has seen his price fall to £4.0m. The young centre-back has been a regular starter for the Saints, but their defensive struggles have impacted his FPL appeal. Southampton's upcoming fixtures include challenging matches against Bournemouth and Brighton, which could further test their backline.

Harwood-Bellis has had a tough run, earning just 1 point in each of his last three appearances. Southampton's leaky defence, conceding 7 goals in these matches, has significantly limited his FPL potential. Despite his budget-friendly price, managers may be looking elsewhere for defensive options.

Low Ownership Risers and Fallers

A few low-ownership players have also experienced price changes:

Risers: - Chuba Akpom (£5.5m, Everton) - Hamza Choudhury (£4.4m, Leicester)

Fallers: - Igor (£4.3m, Brighton) - Fikayo Tomori (£4.4m, Brighton)

These players, all owned by less than 5% of managers, may offer differential potential for those looking to climb the ranks, but their low ownership also suggests caution is needed when considering them for your FPL team.
