Price Changes: Market Movers and Shakers

In today's Fantasy Premier League market, we've seen a total of five price changes, with one player rising and four experiencing a fall. Let's delve into the details of these fluctuations and what they mean for FPL managers.

Price Rise 📈

Gvardiol (Man City) - £6.5m

Manchester City's defensive asset Gvardiol has seen his price increase to £6.5m, reflecting his recent solid performances. The Croatian defender has been a consistent presence in Pep Guardiola's backline, starting the last three matches and accumulating 15 points in that period.

Gvardiol's recent form includes a clean sheet against Wolves in a 1-0 home victory, where he earned 8 points. He followed this with another 6-point haul in a goalless draw away at Southampton. With upcoming fixtures against Bournemouth (H) and Fulham (A), Gvardiol could be a tempting option for managers looking to invest in City's defence.

Price Falls 📉

Pedro Porro (Spurs) - £5.2m

Tottenham's right-back Pedro Porro has seen his price drop to £5.2m. The Spaniard's recent game time has been limited, with no minutes in two of the last three matches. His only appearance came in the 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace, where he played just 58 minutes.

Porro's lack of playing time and Spurs' defensive struggles have led to this price decrease. With challenging fixtures against Aston Villa (A) and Brighton (H) on the horizon, managers may be looking elsewhere for defensive options.

Iwobi (Fulham) - £5.5m

Alex Iwobi's price has fallen to £5.5m following a string of modest returns. The Fulham midfielder has started the last three matches but has only managed 9 points in that period. His best return was a 5-point haul in a 2-1 away win against Southampton.

Fulham's upcoming fixtures are mixed, with a home game against Brentford followed by a tough away trip to Manchester City. This fixture difficulty, combined with Iwobi's inconsistent form, may explain the price drop.

Low Ownership Price Falls

Schär (Newcastle) - £5.5m Wood (Southampton) - £3.9m

These defenders have also experienced price drops but are owned by less than 5% of managers. Schär's Newcastle face a tough run of fixtures, while Wood's Southampton are battling relegation, which may explain their decreasing popularity.
