Eight Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes overnight, with three rising in value and five falling as managers continue to reshape their squads ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
Bryan Mbeumo has risen to £8.6m following another impressive performance for Manchester United. The midfielder has now increased in value multiple times this gameweek, reflecting his growing popularity among FPL managers with 21.5% ownership.
Mbeumo's recent form has been exceptional, scoring 10 points against Arsenal in Gameweek 23 despite playing only 69 minutes in a thrilling 3-2 victory. He followed this with a quieter 2-point return against Fulham (89 minutes) before bouncing back with 8 points in the 2-0 win over Spurs, playing 87 minutes.
United's upcoming fixtures present mixed opportunities, starting with West Ham (home) in Gameweek 26, followed by Everton (away), Crystal Palace (home), Newcastle (away), and Aston Villa (home). The home fixtures against West Ham and Crystal Palace look particularly appealing for attacking returns.
Marc Cucurella has increased to £6.1m, representing excellent value in Chelsea's defence with 17.4% ownership. The Spanish left-back has been a consistent performer despite some rotation concerns.
His recent fixtures show steady returns: 4 points against Crystal Palace (90 minutes), an impressive 7 points despite playing only 45 minutes against West Ham, and another 4-point haul against Wolves (90 minutes). The limited minutes against West Ham highlight potential rotation risks under the current management.
Chelsea face Leeds (away), Burnley (home), Arsenal (away), Aston Villa (away), and Newcastle (home) in their next five fixtures. The home games against Burnley and Newcastle offer strong clean sheet potential, while the Arsenal clash will test their defensive resolve.
Cole Palmer has risen to £10.5m following his explosive 20-point haul against Wolves in Gameweek 25. Despite relatively low ownership at 13.0%, his recent performances suggest he's finding his rhythm.
Palmer's recent form shows the volatility typical of premium assets: 0 points against Crystal Palace (didn't start), 2 points against West Ham (90 minutes), then the spectacular 20-point return against Wolves (61 minutes). His ability to deliver massive hauls makes him an intriguing differential option.
With the same fixture list as Cucurella, Palmer faces Leeds, Burnley, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle. The attacking midfielder will be particularly targeting the home fixture against Burnley and the away trip to Leeds for significant returns.
Phil Foden has dropped to £8.2m as his limited playing time continues to frustrate FPL managers, with ownership falling to 11.3%. The Manchester City midfielder has struggled for consistent minutes under Pep Guardiola's rotation system.
His recent fixtures highlight the concern: just 29 minutes against Wolves (1 point), a mere 2 minutes against Spurs (1 point), and no minutes at all against Liverpool (0 points). This lack of game time makes him extremely difficult to justify at his price point.
City's upcoming fixtures include Fulham (home), Newcastle (away), Leeds (home), Nottingham Forest (away), and West Ham (away). While these fixtures look favourable on paper, Foden's playing time remains the primary concern for potential investors.
Several players with minimal ownership have also seen their values decrease:
Evanilson (Bournemouth, Forward) has fallen to £7.0m with just 3.2% ownership.
Minteh (Brighton, Midfielder) now costs £5.6m with 2.3% ownership.
Yoro (Manchester United, Defender) has dropped to £4.1m with only 1.2% ownership.
Merino (Arsenal, Midfielder) is now priced at £5.4m with 1.1% ownership.
These price movements reflect the current market sentiment, with managers clearly favouring in-form players like Mbeumo and Palmer while moving away from rotation risks like Foden. The defensive options of Cucurella continue to appeal to those seeking budget-friendly clean sheet potential.
