Fantasy Premier League Price Changes: 10 Players See Value Shifts

Ten Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes today, with one notable rise and nine falls affecting managers' squad values across the Premier League.

Price Rises ⬆️

Bruno Fernandes Continues Upward Trajectory

Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has risen to £9.4m following another impressive performance. The Portuguese midfielder, owned by 20.1% of managers, has accumulated 167 points this season, making him one of the most consistent premium options available.

Fernandes' recent fixtures show a mixed bag of results. He was rested against Leeds (0 points), scored 7 points in the 2-2 draw with Burnley after playing 61 minutes, and delivered an excellent 10-point haul in United's 2-0 victory over Manchester City, playing 89 minutes in that crucial win.

Looking ahead, Fernandes faces Fulham (H), Tottenham (A), West Ham (H), Everton (A), and Crystal Palace (H) in his next five fixtures - a relatively favourable run that could justify his premium price tag.

Price Falls ⬇️

Phil Foden's Value Drops Amid Rotation Concerns

Manchester City's Phil Foden has fallen to £8.5m despite maintaining 22.7% ownership. The England international has managed just 99 points this season, significantly below expectations for a player of his calibre.

Foden's recent form highlights City's rotation policy concerns. He scored 2 points against Brighton (73 minutes), managed just 1 point in the Manchester derby defeat (45 minutes), and was limited to 29 minutes as a substitute against Wolves, earning 1 point. This inconsistent game time is clearly affecting his Fantasy value.

His upcoming fixtures include Tottenham (A), Liverpool (H), Fulham (A), Newcastle (H), and Leeds (A) - a challenging run that may not favour immediate returns.

Kevin Schade Rises Despite Low Ownership

Brentford's Kevin Schade has bucked the trend with a rise to £7.2m, despite being owned by just 3.3% of managers. This differential pick could prove valuable for managers seeking budget-friendly midfield options, though his low ownership suggests limited recent returns.

Low Ownership Fallers ⬇️

Several players with minimal ownership have seen their values decrease:

Defenders: - Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City) - now £5.9m (4.2% owned) - Matheus Nunes (Manchester City) - now £5.4m (3.2% owned)
- Diakité (Bournemouth) - now £4.2m (0.3% owned) - Alleyne (Manchester City) - now £4.4m (0.0% owned)

Midfielders: - Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) - now £6.8m (1.5% owned) - Rees-Dottin (Bournemouth) - now £4.3m (0.1% owned) - Chambers (Leeds) - now £4.4m (0.0% owned)

Manchester City Players Under Pressure

The concentration of Manchester City players in today's fallers reflects broader concerns about Pep Guardiola's rotation policy and the team's inconsistent form this season. Both Gvardiol and Matheus Nunes have seen their values drop, suggesting managers are moving away from City assets amid uncertainty over playing time and defensive returns.

Budget Options Lose Appeal

The falls among cheaper players like Diakité, Rees-Dottin, and Chambers indicate that even budget-conscious managers are seeking more reliable options elsewhere. These price drops could present opportunities for managers looking to free up funds, though their minimal ownership suggests limited Fantasy relevance.
