There were 10 price changes in Fantasy Premier League today, with 2 players rising in price and 8 players falling, including several low-ownership options that may have flown under many managers' radars.
Bryan Mbeumo has risen to £8.5m following another impressive price increase, cementing his status as one of the season's most sought-after midfield assets. The Brentford winger now boasts 31.5% ownership among FPL managers, reflecting his consistent returns throughout the campaign.
Mbeumo's upcoming fixtures present a mixed bag of opportunities. The Bees face Everton (H), Crystal Palace (A), West Ham (A), Wolves (A), and Bournemouth (H) over the next five gameweeks - a run that includes several favourable matchups against teams struggling defensively.
Recent form has been solid despite some variance in returns. Against Brighton at home, Mbeumo delivered an excellent 15-point haul in a thrilling 4-2 victory. His away form has been more modest, managing 2 points in the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest and 7 points in the recent 2-2 stalemate with Tottenham, where he played the full 90 minutes in both fixtures.
Declan Rice has increased to £6.9m, with 20.2% of managers backing the Arsenal midfielder despite his inconsistent recent performances. The England international remains a popular choice for those seeking midfield stability from a top-six side.
Arsenal's fixture list presents some challenging tests ahead. Rice will face Tottenham (A), Chelsea (H), Brentford (A), Aston Villa (H), and Wolves (A) - a run that includes two significant London derbies that could prove pivotal for Arsenal's season.
Rice's recent outings have shown his ceiling and floor clearly. He managed 7 points against Crystal Palace in a 1-0 home win, followed by an impressive 13-point return in the 2-0 victory over Burnley. However, his most recent outing against Sunderland yielded just 2 points despite playing the full match in a 2-2 draw.
Mohammed Kudus has fallen to £6.5m as injury concerns mount around the West Ham midfielder. Currently listed with a knock and only a 50% chance of playing, the Ghanaian's 22.6% ownership may face further erosion if his fitness issues persist.
The Hammers face a challenging run of fixtures that could impact Kudus's appeal even when fit. Upcoming matches include Arsenal (H), Fulham (A), Newcastle (A), Brentford (H), and Nottingham Forest (A) - a sequence featuring several tough away trips.
Recent performances have been disappointing for those who backed Kudus. He managed just 3 points against Everton despite West Ham's 3-0 victory, followed by a single point in the 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea. Most concerning was his failure to start against Manchester United, earning 0 points as an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw.
Cody Gakpo has dropped to £7.5m as Liverpool's rotation policy continues to frustrate his 13.2% ownership base. The Dutch forward's inconsistent starts under Jurgen Klopp have made him a risky proposition despite Liverpool's strong attacking potential.
Liverpool's upcoming fixtures offer plenty of goal-scoring opportunities: Nottingham Forest (H), West Ham (A), Sunderland (H), Leeds (A), and Brighton (H). This run includes several matches where Liverpool should dominate possession and create numerous chances.
However, Gakpo's recent minutes tell the story of his FPL frustration. He managed just 2 points in 61 minutes during the 3-2 defeat to Brentford, followed by 3 points in a full 90-minute appearance against Aston Villa in a 2-0 win. Most recently, he played only 34 minutes as a substitute in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, highlighting his uncertain role in big matches.
Jeremie Frimpong has fallen to £5.7m as his hamstring injury continues with an unknown return date. The Liverpool defender's 5.1% ownership reflects his limited appeal even when fit, and his current injury status makes him completely unviable for FPL consideration.
Frimpong hasn't featured in Liverpool's last three matches, earning 0 points in each gameweek as he remains sidelined. His absence from the squad against Brentford, Aston Villa, and Manchester City underlines the severity of his fitness concerns.
Several players with minimal FPL interest have also seen their values decrease:
