FPL Price Changes: Saliba Rises as Haaland Dips

In today's Fantasy Premier League (FPL) market, we've seen six price changes, with one player rising and five falling. Let's dive into the details of these fluctuations and what they mean for FPL managers.

Price Rises ⬆️

William Saliba (Arsenal, Defender)

Arsenal's defensive stalwart, William Saliba, has seen his price increase to £6.2 million. This rise comes on the back of some impressive performances, making him an attractive option for FPL managers.

Saliba's next three fixtures present a mixed bag, with a tough away match against Everton followed by more favourable encounters with Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town. His recent form has been stellar, accumulating 25 points in his last three games. A clean sheet and maximum bonus points against Manchester United in Gameweek 14 were particularly noteworthy, highlighting his potential for both defensive and bonus returns.

Price Falls ⬇️

Erling Haaland (Manchester City, Forward)

The prolific Norwegian striker has experienced a slight dip in price, now available at £14.9 million. Despite this, Haaland remains a premium asset in FPL.

Manchester City's upcoming fixtures include a challenging Manchester derby, followed by matches against Aston Villa and Everton. Haaland's recent form has been somewhat subdued by his lofty standards, scoring 14 points in his last three outings. His goal and assist against Crystal Palace in Gameweek 15 serve as a reminder of his explosive potential.

Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City, Defender)

Manchester City's summer signing has seen his price fall to £6.1 million. Gvardiol shares the same fixture run as his teammate Haaland, with the Manchester derby looming.

The Croatian defender's recent performances have been mixed, with a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 14 being the highlight. However, his absence from the starting lineup against Liverpool in Gameweek 13 and conceding two goals against Crystal Palace in Gameweek 15 have likely contributed to his price drop.

Emile Smith Rowe (Fulham, Midfielder)

The young English midfielder has experienced a price decrease to £5.5 million. Fulham's upcoming fixtures include a tough match against Liverpool, followed by more favourable encounters with Southampton and Chelsea.

Smith Rowe's recent performances have been underwhelming from an FPL perspective, with just 5 points from his last three matches. His limited minutes in the recent game against Arsenal (60 minutes) may be a concern for potential investors.

Low Ownership Price Changes

Among the less-owned players, we've seen some interesting price movements:

Price Rise: - Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea, Midfielder) - Now £5.0 million

Price Fall: - João Félix (Chelsea, Midfielder) - Now £6.0 million

These changes in lower-owned assets could present interesting differential options for managers looking to climb the ranks.

In the ever-changing landscape of FPL, staying informed about price changes is crucial. They not only affect team value but can also indicate form and upcoming potential. As always, it's essential to consider these changes in the context of fixtures, form, and overall team strategy.
