Seventeen Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes today, with managers reacting to recent performances and upcoming fixtures. The market movements include some significant shifts among popular picks and several under-the-radar options.
Arsenal's Declan Rice has risen to £7.6m following consistent performances in the Gunners' midfield. With 35.8% ownership, Rice represents one of the most popular midfield options in FPL. His recent fixtures show steady returns, earning 1 point against Manchester United, 3 points in the 4-0 victory over Leeds, and an impressive 5 points in Arsenal's 3-0 win against Sunderland.
Rice faces Tottenham next, followed by Chelsea and Brighton - a mixed bag of fixtures that could provide both attacking and defensive returns. However, managers should note Arsenal have a blank fixture in Gameweek 31, which may impact transfer planning.
Crystal Palace defender Daniel Muñoz has increased to £5.9m with just 8.0% ownership, making him an intriguing differential option. His recent form shows promise, with 1 point against Chelsea, 2 points in the draw with Nottingham Forest, and a solid 5-point haul in Palace's 1-0 victory over Brighton.
Palace's upcoming fixtures include Wolves at home, followed by away trips to Manchester United and Tottenham, before hosting Leeds. The mixed difficulty of these fixtures suggests Muñoz could provide value for managers seeking defensive alternatives.
Everton's James Tarkowski has fallen to £5.7m despite maintaining his place in the starting eleven. With 12.5% ownership, his recent performances have been modest, earning 2 points in draws against Brighton and away at Fulham, followed by just 1 point in the home defeat to Bournemouth.
Everton face Manchester United next, followed by Newcastle, Burnley, and Arsenal - a challenging run that may explain the price drop. The Toffees' defensive struggles continue to impact their defenders' FPL appeal.
Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Roefs has dropped to £4.9m following mixed recent performances. Despite 11.7% ownership, his returns have been inconsistent: 1 point in the defeat to West Ham, an excellent 6-point clean sheet against Burnley, then 1 point in the heavy defeat to Arsenal.
Sunderland's upcoming fixtures include Fulham, Bournemouth, and Leeds, offering potential for clean sheet returns if the Black Cats can tighten their defence.
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has fallen to £8.6m with 9.0% ownership declining. His recent form shows inconsistency, with an impressive 8-point haul against Newcastle followed by no appearance against Brentford and just 2 points in the draw with Bournemouth.
Villa's fixtures include Leeds, Wolves, Chelsea, Manchester United, and West Ham - a run that could provide opportunities for Watkins to return to form if he regains his starting position.
Chelsea defender Reece James has dropped to £5.6m and carries an illness concern with a 75% chance of playing. His recent appearances have been limited, managing just 9 minutes against West Ham and missing the last two fixtures entirely.
Chelsea face Burnley, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle in their next four fixtures. James's fitness concerns and limited minutes make him a risky FPL option despite Chelsea's defensive potential.
West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen has fallen to £7.6m despite delivering solid recent performances. With 8.6% ownership, he scored 8 points against Chelsea, 2 points against Burnley, and 5 points in the draw with Manchester United.
The Hammers face Bournemouth, Liverpool, Fulham, and Manchester City next - a challenging run that includes tough away fixtures but also potential for attacking returns.
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka has dropped to £9.8m amid hip injury concerns, with only a 50% chance of playing. His 7.8% ownership reflects manager uncertainty over his fitness. Recent performances show 2 points against Manchester United before missing the victories over Leeds and Sunderland.
Saka's injury status makes him a significant risk for the North London Derby against Tottenham, followed by fixtures against Chelsea and Brighton.
Crystal Palace midfielder Sarr has risen to £6.4m (3.8% ownership), while Bournemouth defender Hill has increased to £4.0m (2.5% ownership).
Several low-ownership players have dropped in value: Newcastle's Thiaw to £5.0m (4.3%), Brighton's Welbeck to £6.1m (3.7%), Manchester United's Heaven to £3.7m (2.0%), Leeds' Stach to £4.7m (1.9%), Fulham's Raúl to £6.1m (1.8%), Brentford's Lewis-Potter to £4.8m (1.6%), and Manchester City's Alleyne to £4.1m (0.0%).
