Six Fantasy Premier League Price Changes Hit Managers Today
Fantasy Premier League managers woke up to six price changes this morning, with five players rising in value and one notable fall that will concern many squads.
Arsenal's Gabriel has risen to £7.1m following consistent performances at the heart of the Gunners' defence. The Brazilian centre-back boasts an impressive 117 points this season and maintains a hefty 40.3% ownership among FPL managers.
Gabriel's recent fixtures showcase his reliability, earning 8 points against both Nottingham Forest (clean sheet in a 0-0 draw) and Leeds (clean sheet in a 4-0 victory), though he managed just 1 point in the entertaining 3-2 defeat to Manchester United. His upcoming fixtures present mixed opportunities, starting with Sunderland at home before a double gameweek against Brentford and Wolves, followed by challenging matches against Tottenham and Chelsea.
Manchester United's talisman Bruno Fernandes has increased to £9.7m, having risen twice this gameweek. The Portuguese midfielder leads the way with 167 points this season, justifying his premium price tag despite a 32.1% ownership.
Fernandes has been in excellent form recently, scoring 10 points in victories over both Manchester City and Fulham, with a 5-point return sandwiched between in the Arsenal defeat. His fixture list looks promising with Tottenham away next, followed by West Ham at home, then Everton, Crystal Palace, and Newcastle - a run that could see significant returns.
Arsenal's versatile defender Jurrien Timber has climbed to £6.4m, providing a more affordable route into the Gunners' defence. With 124 points accumulated and 28.8% ownership, Timber represents excellent value in the defensive market.
The Dutch international mirrors Gabriel's recent form with identical returns - 5 points against Forest, 1 point versus United, and 5 points in the Leeds victory. His fixture schedule matches his defensive partner, including the crucial double gameweek in GW26 against Brentford and Wolves.
Sunderland's Mukiele has risen to £4.6m despite zero points this season, suggesting managers are eyeing him as budget fodder. With just 13.6% ownership, he remains under the radar for most FPL managers.
Recent performances show promise with 6 points against Crystal Palace, 4 points in the West Ham defeat, and an impressive 9-point haul in the 3-0 victory over Burnley. However, his immediate fixtures look challenging with Arsenal away next, followed by Liverpool at home.
West Ham's Jarrod Bowen has increased to £7.7m following strong performances that have yielded 199 points this season. Despite his impressive returns, only 9.4% of managers currently own the versatile forward.
Bowen's recent form includes a modest 3-point return against Spurs, followed by an excellent 12-point haul versus Sunderland and 8 points in the narrow Chelsea defeat. His upcoming fixtures start favourably with Burnley at home, though Manchester United away and Bournemouth present tougher challenges.
The biggest shock comes with Erling Haaland falling to £14.9m, a significant concern given his massive 70.2% ownership across FPL teams. Despite accumulating 170 points this season, recent performances have disappointed managers.
The Norwegian striker's recent struggles are evident in his returns - just 2 points in the Manchester United defeat, 1 point after coming off the bench against Wolves, and 5 points in the Tottenham draw. His immediate fixture against Liverpool presents a stern test, though subsequent matches against Fulham, Newcastle, Leeds, and Nottingham Forest offer better prospects for returns.
The price drop creates a dilemma for the majority of FPL managers who own Haaland, particularly with his challenging fixture against Liverpool looming. However, his long-term potential remains undeniable given Manchester City's attacking prowess.
