Five Fantasy Premier League Price Changes Hit Managers Today
Fantasy Premier League managers woke up to five price changes today, with two players rising in value while three experienced drops that could impact squad planning ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has risen to £6.0m following improved performances for Leeds United. The striker, owned by 12.1% of managers, faces a mixed fixture run with Fulham (H) next, followed by Everton (A) and Arsenal (H) in his next three outings.
Recent form shows encouraging signs for the Leeds forward. Against Liverpool, he managed just 20 minutes as a substitute, earning one point. However, he started against Manchester United at home, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw for two points. His standout performance came in the thrilling 4-3 defeat to Newcastle, where he played 87 minutes and secured eight points, suggesting he's finding his rhythm in the final third.
Sunderland defender Mukiele has increased to £4.4m despite having zero points this season. The 9.5%-owned defender presents an interesting budget option with upcoming fixtures against Crystal Palace (A), West Ham (H), and Burnley (A) offering potential for defensive returns.
His recent performances show consistent minutes, playing the full 90 in all three recent fixtures. Against Manchester City at home, he earned an impressive 11 points in the goalless draw, followed by four points in the 1-1 draw with Spurs away. However, he managed just three points in the 3-0 defeat at Brentford, highlighting the defensive struggles that have limited his season tally.
Phil Foden has fallen to £8.7m despite being Manchester City's highest-scoring midfielder with 99 points this season. The England international remains popular with 35.1% ownership but faces a challenging fixture list including Manchester United (A), Wolves (H), and Tottenham (A).
Recent form has been concerning for the premium midfielder. Against Sunderland away, he managed just three points despite playing 90 minutes. This was followed by two points in the 1-1 home draw with Chelsea, again playing the full match. His latest outing against Brighton saw him substituted after 73 minutes, earning just two points in another 1-1 draw, suggesting City's attacking struggles are impacting his returns.
Liverpool forward Ekitiké has dropped to £8.9m and carries a hamstring injury with a 75% chance of playing. The 26.9%-owned striker faces Burnley (H), Bournemouth (A), and Newcastle (H) in his next three fixtures, which could offer returns if he recovers from his fitness issues.
His recent form has been disappointing, particularly given his premium price point. Against Leeds at home, he started and played 90 minutes but managed only two points in the goalless draw. More concerning was his absence from the starting lineup against Fulham away, earning zero points, followed by another zero-point return when unused against Arsenal away. The injury news explains his recent absence and makes him a risky proposition for managers.
Brighton forward Danny Welbeck has fallen to £6.2m with minimal 4.2% ownership, making him a low-priority consideration for most Fantasy Premier League managers.
The price changes reflect current form and fixture difficulty, with Calvert-Lewin's rise suggesting renewed confidence in Leeds' attacking potential, while Foden's drop highlights concerns over Manchester City's recent performances despite his season-long productivity.
