Fantasy Premier League Price Changes: 18 Players See Value Shifts Ahead of Final Gameweek

Eighteen Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes today as managers make their final adjustments before the season concludes. With Gameweek 38 representing the last opportunity to maximise points, these movements reflect shifting sentiment around key assets.

Price Rises 📈

Arsenal's Defensive Duo Lead the Charge

David Raya has risen to £6.2m following consistent performances between the sticks. The Arsenal goalkeeper has been in excellent form recently, securing clean sheets against Newcastle (10 points), Fulham (6 points), and West Ham (9 points) across his last three outings. With 151 points accumulated this season and 36.3% ownership, Raya faces Crystal Palace in the final gameweek - a fixture that could yield another clean sheet opportunity.

William Saliba now costs £6.3m after his own price increase. The French defender has been a reliable presence in Arsenal's backline, though his recent returns have been modest with 7, 6, and 5 points against Newcastle, Fulham, and West Ham respectively. Despite 129 points this season and 17.1% ownership, Saliba's consistent minutes make him a dependable option for the Palace encounter.

Everton's Tarkowski Continues to Impress

James Tarkowski has moved up to £5.8m following a standout recent performance. The Everton centre-back struggled initially with just 3 points against West Ham and 0 points versus Manchester City, but exploded for 15 points against Crystal Palace in Gameweek 36. With 122 points this season and 12.7% ownership, Tarkowski faces Tottenham in the final gameweek - a challenging fixture that could limit his defensive returns.

Price Falls 📉

High-Profile Casualties

João Pedro has dropped to £7.4m despite maintaining significant ownership at 37.9%. The Chelsea forward has endured a difficult recent spell, failing to feature against Brighton (0 points), managing just 8 points against Nottingham Forest, and scoring 2 points in the Liverpool draw. With 133 points this season, Pedro faces Sunderland in the final gameweek, offering potential for redemption.

Virgil van Dijk now costs £6.0m following his price decrease. The Liverpool captain has experienced mixed fortunes recently, scoring just 1 point against Manchester United and 2 points versus Chelsea, before bouncing back with 12 points against Aston Villa. Despite 153 points this season and 30.0% ownership, van Dijk faces Brentford in the final gameweek.

Injury Concerns Impact Šeško

Benjamin Šeško has fallen to £7.2m amid injury worries. The Manchester United forward is currently dealing with a shin injury and has only a 50% chance of playing in Gameweek 38. His recent form shows 8 points against Brentford, 5 points versus Liverpool, and 0 points against Sunderland after not starting. With just 5.1% ownership, his injury status makes him a risky proposition for the Brighton fixture.

Budget Defender Drops Further

Maxime Estève has decreased to £3.8m, reflecting Burnley's struggles this season. The defender has managed modest returns of 4, 3, and 3 points across his last three appearances against Manchester City, Leeds, and Aston Villa respectively. With zero points accumulated this season and 6.8% ownership, Estève faces Wolves in the final gameweek.

Low Ownership Movers

Price Rises

Several under-the-radar players have seen increases: Idrissa Gueye Ndiaye (Everton) rises to £6.3m with 4.7% ownership, Beto (Everton) moves to £5.1m at 3.4% ownership, Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) increases to £6.6m with just 2.0% ownership, and Ferdi Kadıoğlu (Brighton) rises to £4.5m with 1.4% ownership.

Price Falls

Among the fallers, Marcus Tavernier (Bournemouth) drops to £5.3m with 4.3% ownership, Joachim Andersen (Fulham) falls to £4.4m at 3.3% ownership, Dan Ballard (Sunderland) decreases to £4.6m with 2.6% ownership, Evanilson (Bournemouth) drops to £6.6m at 2.3% ownership, Alex Scott (Bournemouth) falls to £4.9m with 2.1% ownership, Yehor Yarmoliuk (Brentford) decreases to £5.6m at 1.6% ownership, and Adam Armstrong (Wolves) drops to £5.1m with minimal 0.1% ownership.
