FPL Price Changes: Elanga Rises as Salah and Mateta Fall

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

Price Rises ⬆️

Anthony Elanga (£5.5m, Nottingham Forest)

Elanga has seen his price increase to £5.5m, catching the eye of 8.8% of FPL managers. The Nottingham Forest midfielder has amassed 139 points this season, offering decent value in the mid-price bracket.

Recent Form: Elanga has started the last three matches for Forest, but his returns have been modest. He scored 4 points in a 45-minute appearance against Spurs, followed by back-to-back 2-point hauls against Brentford and Crystal Palace. While he's been getting regular minutes, his attacking output has been limited.

Upcoming Fixtures: Forest face Leicester (H), West Ham (A), and Chelsea (H) in their next three games. This mixed run of fixtures could provide opportunities for Elanga to add to his tally.

Price Falls ⬇️

Mohamed Salah (£13.7m, Liverpool)

The Egyptian King has seen his price dip to £13.7m, despite being owned by a whopping 69.9% of managers. Salah remains the highest-scoring player in FPL with 330 points, but recent form has led to this price adjustment.

Recent Form: Salah's last three games have been a mixed bag. He scored just 3 points against Leicester, bounced back with an 8-point haul in a 5-1 thrashing of Spurs, but then managed only 2 points in a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea.

Upcoming Fixtures: Liverpool's next three games are Arsenal (H), Brighton (A), and Crystal Palace (H). The clash with title rivals Arsenal could be crucial for both Salah's FPL prospects and Liverpool's title hopes.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.6m, Crystal Palace)

Mateta has dropped to £7.6m, with 12.6% of managers still keeping faith in the Crystal Palace forward. He's accumulated 146 points this season, offering decent value in the mid-price forward category.

Recent Form: Mateta's recent performances have been inconsistent. He blanked against Bournemouth, then came off the bench to score a brace and collect 8 points against Arsenal. However, he followed this with a 2-point return against Nottingham Forest.

Upcoming Fixtures: Palace face Tottenham (A), Wolves (H), and Liverpool (A) in their next three. The home game against Wolves could be Mateta's best opportunity for returns in this run.

Low Ownership Risers

Keane Lewis-Potter (£5.2m, Brentford)

The Brentford midfielder has risen to £5.2m despite being owned by just 1.4% of managers, potentially offering a differential option for those looking to shake up their squads.
