FPL Price Changes: Eight Players See Value Shifts as Transfer Deadline Approaches

Eight Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes today, with four rising and four falling in value as managers continue to tinker with their squads ahead of crucial upcoming fixtures.

Price Rises ⬆️

Gyökeres Climbs to £8.8m Despite Limited Minutes

Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres has risen to £8.8m, representing excellent value for a forward owned by 12.4% of managers. The Swedish striker has shown glimpses of his potential despite inconsistent starts, coming off the bench against Manchester United (32 minutes, 1 point) before starting against Leeds (76 minutes, 7 points) and making another substitute appearance against Sunderland (30 minutes, 12 points).

Arsenal's upcoming fixtures present a mixed bag, with a double gameweek 26 featuring matches against Brentford and Wolves, followed by challenging encounters with Tottenham and Chelsea. The double gameweek opportunity makes Gyökeres an attractive option despite his rotation risk.

Anderson Reaches £5.4m After Consistent Performances

Nottingham Forest midfielder Anderson has increased to £5.4m following steady displays across recent fixtures. The 5.8% owned player has been a regular starter, playing the full 90 minutes in each of his last three appearances. He secured 5 points against Brentford, 7 points in the draw with Crystal Palace, and 4 points despite Forest's defeat to Leeds.

Anderson faces a single fixture in gameweek 26 against Wolves, followed by a tough test against Liverpool. His consistent minutes and reasonable price point make him an intriguing budget midfield option.

Price Falls ⬇️

Wilson Drops to £6.0m Following Poor Run

Fulham's Wilson has fallen to £6.0m after a disappointing sequence of results. Despite being owned by 22.1% of managers, the midfielder has struggled recently, managing just 2 points in both the defeat to Manchester United and the home loss to Everton, sandwiched around a promising 10-point haul against Brighton.

Wilson faces a challenging single fixture against Manchester City in gameweek 26, making him a risky proposition for the immediate future. His high ownership suggests many managers may be looking to move him on.

Woltemade Falls to £6.9m Amid Rotation Concerns

Newcastle forward Woltemade has dropped to £6.9m, reflecting his limited playing time and lack of starts. The 8.9% owned striker has been restricted to substitute appearances, managing just 28 minutes against Aston Villa, 17 minutes versus Liverpool, and 45 minutes in the defeat to Brentford, scoring only 1 point in each outing.

With a single fixture against Tottenham in gameweek 26, Woltemade's rotation risk and limited minutes make him a difficult asset to justify at his current price point.

Low Ownership Price Changes

Budget Options on the Move

Arsenal midfielder Zubimendi has risen to £5.3m with just 4.6% ownership, representing a potential budget enabler for those seeking Arsenal coverage.

Several low-owned players have seen their values decrease: Liverpool's Gravenberch drops to £5.5m (4.7% owned), Brentford's Schade falls to £6.9m (1.2% owned), and Tottenham defender Spence decreases to £4.2m (1.0% owned).

These budget options may appeal to managers looking to free up funds elsewhere in their squads, though their low ownership suggests limited appeal in the current meta.
