Price Rises ⬆️

Rogers Continues Impressive Form at £7.6m

The Aston Villa midfielder has risen to £7.6m following consistent performances that have attracted 29.8% ownership. Rogers has accumulated 161 points this season and delivered a strong 5-point haul against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 20, scoring in Villa's 3-1 victory. His recent fixtures show steady returns with 1 point against both Chelsea and Arsenal, though he played 82 minutes in the latter match.

Villa's upcoming fixtures present mixed opportunities, with Crystal Palace (H) offering a favourable start before facing Everton (A), Newcastle (A), Brentford (H), and Bournemouth (A). The midfielder's consistent starts and attacking threat make him an appealing option at this price point.

Gabriel Bounces Back at £6.6m

Arsenal's Brazilian defender has increased to £6.6m with 23.8% of managers backing him. Gabriel has earned 112 points this season and showcased his potential with an excellent 15-point performance against Aston Villa in Gameweek 19, likely including defensive contributions and bonus points. He followed this with a solid 9-point return against Bournemouth, though he was limited to 19 minutes against Brighton in Gameweek 18.

The Gunners face a challenging run with Liverpool (A) next, followed by Nottingham Forest (H), Manchester United (A), Leeds (H), and Sunderland (A). Gabriel's recent form suggests he's back to his best after the brief absence.

Bruno Guimarães Attracts Interest at £7.1m

Newcastle's Brazilian midfielder has risen to £7.1m despite relatively modest 16.5% ownership. Bruno G. has collected 142 points this season and delivered an impressive 10-point haul against Burnley in Gameweek 19. His recent form shows consistency with 2 points each against Chelsea and Manchester United before the Burnley breakthrough.

Newcastle's fixture list looks promising with Leeds (H) up next, followed by Wolves (A), Aston Villa (H), Liverpool (A), and Brentford (A). The midfielder's ability to contribute defensively under the new CBIRT scoring system adds extra appeal.

Pickford Proves His Worth at £5.6m

Everton's goalkeeper has increased to £5.6m with 12.3% ownership backing his 158-point season tally. Pickford has been in excellent form recently, earning 10 points against Nottingham Forest with a clean sheet, 6 points against Burnley in another shutout, and 2 points despite conceding to Arsenal.

The Toffees face Wolves (H), Aston Villa (A), Leeds (H), Brighton (A), and Fulham (A) in their next five fixtures. Pickford's recent clean sheet streak makes him an attractive budget goalkeeper option.

Roefs Gains Attention at £4.9m

Sunderland's goalkeeper has risen to £4.9m despite having 0 points this season, suggesting he may be a new signing or recently promoted player. With 10.6% ownership, managers are clearly speculating on his potential. His recent fixtures show promise with clean sheets against Brighton (7 points) and Manchester City (7 points), plus 3 points in a draw with Leeds.

Sunderland face Brentford (A), Crystal Palace (H), West Ham (A), Burnley (H), and Arsenal (A) in upcoming gameweeks.
