Fantasy Premier League Price Changes: Eight Players See Value Shifts Ahead of Gameweek 34

Eight Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes today, with four rising and four falling in value as managers continue to reshape their squads for the final stretch of the season.

Price Rises 📈

Marc Cucurella - £6.1m

The Chelsea defender has risen to £6.1m and remains owned by 15.4% of managers despite his team's recent struggles. Cucurella faces a blank gameweek in GW34, followed by fixtures against Nottingham Forest (home), Liverpool (away), Tottenham (home), and Sunderland (away). His recent form has been concerning, managing just three points across his last three appearances against Everton (1 point in a 3-0 defeat), Manchester City (0 points in a 3-0 home loss), and Manchester United (2 points in a 1-0 defeat). The defender has been a regular starter, playing the full 90 minutes in each match, but Chelsea's defensive frailties have limited his clean sheet potential.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - £5.7m

The Leeds striker has increased to £5.7m with 12.1% ownership following some improved performances. Like many players, he faces a blank in GW34 before meeting Burnley (away), Tottenham (home), Brighton (away), and West Ham (home). Calvert-Lewin's recent fixtures show steady improvement, earning 2 points against Brentford in a goalless draw, 2 points in Leeds' 2-1 victory over Manchester United, and an impressive 6 points in their 3-0 home win against Wolves where he likely found the net. The striker has been a consistent starter, playing virtually full matches across all three games.

Jarrod Bowen - £7.7m

West Ham's versatile forward has risen to £7.7m despite relatively modest ownership of 11.0%. Bowen has an attractive fixture in GW34 against Everton (home), followed by Brentford (away), Arsenal (home), Newcastle (away), and Leeds (home). His recent form has been exceptional, particularly in his last outing where he scored 14 points in West Ham's 4-0 demolition of Wolves, suggesting multiple goal contributions. Earlier fixtures saw him earn 6 points against Manchester City in a 1-1 draw and 2 points in a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Ollie Watkins - £8.6m

The Aston Villa striker now costs £8.6m with 8.8% ownership among Fantasy managers. Watkins faces Fulham (away) in GW34, then Tottenham (away), Burnley (home), Liverpool (away), and Manchester City (home) - a mixed bag of fixtures. His recent performances have been inconsistent, scoring 0 points against Manchester United despite 60 minutes of action, followed by an excellent 9-point haul against West Ham in a 2-0 victory, and 2 points in a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest where he played 87 minutes.

Price Falls 📉

Virgil van Dijk - £6.2m

Liverpool's defensive stalwart has dropped to £6.2m despite maintaining the highest ownership among today's fallers at 32.3%. Van Dijk faces Crystal Palace (away) in GW34, followed by Manchester United (away), Chelsea (home), Aston Villa (away), and Brentford (home). His recent form has been solid, earning 2 points against Spurs in a 1-1 draw, 3 points in a 2-1 defeat to Brighton, and an impressive 9 points in Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Fulham, likely including a clean sheet and bonus points.

Hugo Ekitiké - £9.1m

The Liverpool forward has fallen to £9.1m and carries significant concern with 22.4% ownership. Ekitiké is currently injured with an Achilles problem and is expected back on 1st July, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. His recent limited appearances reflect this injury concern - he managed just 26 minutes as a substitute against Spurs (1 point), started against Brighton but played only 8 minutes before presumably being withdrawn due to injury (1 point), and didn't feature at all against Fulham (0 points). Managers should prioritise transferring him out immediately.

Alex Scott - £5.1m

Bournemouth midfielder Scott has risen to £5.1m despite low ownership of just 3.3%, suggesting potential value for budget-conscious managers.

Enzo Le Fée - £4.8m

Sunderland's midfielder has dropped to £4.8m with minimal ownership at 1.0%, representing one of the cheapest midfield options available.
