FPL Price Changes: Salah Rises as Watkins Falls

In today's Fantasy Premier League (FPL) market, we witnessed a total of seven price changes, with two players rising in value and five experiencing a decrease. Let's delve into the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers' strategies.

Price Rises ⬆️

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, Midfielder) The Egyptian King continues to reign supreme in FPL, with his price now soaring to £12.8m. Salah's recent form has been nothing short of spectacular, amassing an impressive 31 points in his last three fixtures. Against Chelsea, he notched 12 points with a goal and an assist, followed by a 10-point haul against Arsenal, and most recently, 9 points in Liverpool's victory over Brighton. With upcoming fixtures against Aston Villa (H), Southampton (A), and Manchester City (H), Salah remains a premium asset worth every penny.

Rayan Aït-Nouri (Wolves, Defender) The Wolves defender has seen his price increase to £4.7m, offering budget-conscious managers an interesting defensive option. Aït-Nouri's recent performances have been a mixed bag, with a 6-point return against Brighton sandwiched between two 1-point outings against Manchester City and Crystal Palace. However, with favorable fixtures on the horizon including Southampton (H), Fulham (A), and Bournemouth (H), he could prove to be a shrewd investment for those looking to free up funds elsewhere.

Price Falls ⬇️

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, Forward) The Aston Villa striker has experienced a dip in form and price, now available at £9.0m. Watkins' recent returns have been disappointing, with just 4 points from his last two matches against Bournemouth and Tottenham. His upcoming fixtures look challenging, facing Liverpool (A), Crystal Palace (H), and Chelsea (A), which may explain the lack of faith from FPL managers.

Noni Madueke (Chelsea, Midfielder) Chelsea's young midfielder has seen his price drop to £6.4m. Madueke has struggled to make a significant impact in recent games, scoring just 5 points across his last three appearances against Liverpool, Newcastle, and Manchester United. With tough fixtures against Arsenal (H), Leicester (A), and Aston Villa (H) coming up, managers are looking elsewhere for midfield options.

Low Ownership Price Changes

Among the less popular assets, we've seen some interesting price movements:

Price Rise: - Strand Larsen (Wolves, Forward) - Now £5.6m

Price Falls: - Ben White (Arsenal, Defender) - Now £6.2m - Cesare Casadei (Chelsea, Midfielder) - Now £4.4m

These low-ownership players could potentially offer differential options for managers looking to climb the ranks, but careful consideration of their form and fixtures is crucial before making any transfers.
