A busy New Year's Eve has brought 23 price changes to Fantasy Premier League, with five players rising in value while 18 have seen their prices drop as managers make their final adjustments before 2026.
Arsenal's Brazilian centre-back Gabriel has climbed to £6.4m following a strong recent return to form. The defender, owned by 16.0% of managers, scored an impressive 15 points against Aston Villa after missing the Everton fixture and playing just 19 minutes against Brighton. His upcoming fixtures include a home clash with Bournemouth before facing Liverpool away, presenting mixed opportunities for clean sheet potential.
Manchester United midfielder Matheus Cunha has risen to £8.2m, reflecting his consistent performances despite modest recent returns. The Brazilian, selected by 13.7% of managers, has accumulated 182 points this season. His last three outings produced 9, 2, and 2 points respectively against Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Wolves, with the attacking midfielder playing the full 90 minutes in each match. Cunha faces Leeds at home next before a challenging run including Manchester City away.
Manchester City's versatile defender Josko Gvardiol has increased to £6.1m, owned by 10.0% of FPL managers. The Croatian has been in excellent form, recording 8, 6, and 8 points in his last three appearances against Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Nottingham Forest respectively. His 153 total points make him an attractive defensive option, though City's upcoming fixture against Chelsea presents a stern test.
Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has risen to £5.9m despite his modest 58 points tally this season. The forward, owned by 9.6% of managers, has shown recent improvement with returns of 9, 13, and 8 points against Brentford, Crystal Palace, and Sunderland. His next fixture sees Leeds travel to Manchester United, followed by Newcastle at home, offering potential for attacking returns.
Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen has climbed to £4.5m, representing solid value in the goalkeeper position with 5.7% ownership. The Dutch shot-stopper earned 11 points with a clean sheet against Sunderland but managed just 1 point in subsequent matches against Arsenal and West Ham. Brighton's upcoming fixtures against Burnley at home could provide clean sheet opportunities.
Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has fallen to £6.1m amid injury concerns, with a hamstring problem giving him a 75% chance of playing. Despite his 145 points this season and 19.9% ownership, recent form has been disappointing with just 1, 2, and 0 points in his last three appearances against Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Bournemouth. The Spaniard was substituted after 69 minutes against Villa and didn't start the Bournemouth match.
Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has dropped to £7.6m following a poor run of form. The forward, owned by 12.0% of managers, has managed just 2 points in each of his last three matches against Manchester City, Leeds, and Tottenham, despite starting all three games. With 155 points for the season, Mateta faces Newcastle away next before a potentially favourable home fixture against Aston Villa.
