FPL Price Changes: Salah Rises as Johnson Falls

Four price changes have occurred in Fantasy Premier League today, with two players rising and two falling in value. Let's delve into the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers' strategies.

Price Rises ⬆️

Mohamed Salah (£13.7m, Liverpool)

The Egyptian King continues to reign supreme in FPL, with his price now soaring to £13.7m. Salah's recent form has been nothing short of spectacular, amassing 32 points in his last three outings. His standout performance came against West Ham, where he bagged a brace and an assist for a 16-point haul.

Looking ahead, Liverpool face a mixed bag of fixtures. They travel to Nottingham Forest before hosting Brentford, followed by an FA Cup clash with Ipswich. Salah's consistency and explosive potential make him a prime captaincy option, regardless of the opposition.

Milos Kerkez (£4.8m, Bournemouth)

The Cherries' defender has seen his stock rise to £4.8m after a string of impressive displays. Kerkez's recent form includes a 12-point haul against Everton, where he kept a clean sheet and picked up maximum bonus points. His attacking potential from left-back adds to his appeal, with Bournemouth's improving defensive solidity under Andoni Iraola.

However, Bournemouth face a challenging run with Chelsea and Newcastle up next. FPL managers might want to exercise caution before jumping on the Kerkez bandwagon.

Price Falls ⬇️

Brennan Johnson (£6.4m, Tottenham Hotspur)

Johnson's price has dipped to £6.4m following a mixed run of form. While he managed a goal and an assist against Wolves for a 9-point return, his other recent outings have been less fruitful. Tottenham's upcoming fixtures look tricky, with Arsenal, Everton, and Manchester United on the horizon.

The young forward's minutes have been consistent, but his output has been sporadic. FPL managers may be looking elsewhere for mid-priced attacking options.

Low Ownership Fallers

João Gomes (£4.4m, Fulham)

The Fulham midfielder has seen his price drop to £4.4m. With minimal ownership, this change is unlikely to affect many FPL teams.

Fixture Focus

It's worth noting that Liverpool have a blank in Gameweek 26 due to their participation in the Carabao Cup final. This could impact Salah's ownership in the coming weeks, as managers may look to transfer him out temporarily.

Bournemouth's Kerkez faces a double gameweek in Gameweek 25, with matches against Newcastle and Sheffield United. This could provide an opportunity for FPL managers looking to capitalize on potential extra points.

Conclusion

As always, price changes can significantly impact FPL strategy. Managers should keep a close eye on these fluctuations, especially when planning transfers and managing team value.
