Seven Players See Price Changes as FPL Market Reacts to Recent Form

There were seven price changes in the Fantasy Premier League market today, with four players rising in value and three falling as managers react to recent performances and upcoming fixtures.

Price Rises ⬆️

Semenyo Continues Upward Trajectory

The Manchester City midfielder has risen to £8.3m following another strong showing in recent fixtures. Semenyo has been a consistent performer, scoring 4 points against Newcastle at home in a 2-1 victory, followed by an impressive 8-point haul in City's 1-0 away win at Leeds. His most recent outing saw him contribute 7 points in a thrilling 2-2 home draw with Nottingham Forest, playing the full 90 minutes in each of his last two appearances.

With 56.9% ownership, Semenyo faces West Ham at home in Gameweek 30 before having a blank fixture in Gameweek 31. This blank gameweek could see his ownership fluctuate as managers look to navigate the fixture gaps.

João Pedro Bounces Back in Style

The Chelsea forward has risen to £7.7m after a spectacular recent performance that will have caught many FPL managers' attention. Following a modest 7-point return against Burnley in a 1-1 home draw and a disappointing 2-point showing in the 2-1 away defeat to Arsenal, João Pedro exploded into form with a magnificent 19-point haul in Chelsea's dominant 4-1 away victory over Aston Villa.

At 46.7% ownership, the Brazilian faces Newcastle away in Gameweek 30, followed by Everton at home in Gameweek 31, providing decent fixture opportunities for continued returns.

Virgil Offers Defensive Value

Liverpool's defensive stalwart has increased to £6.2m, representing solid value in the defender category. Virgil delivered an excellent 11-point return in Liverpool's 1-0 away win against Nottingham Forest, followed by 7 points in the thrilling 5-2 home victory over West Ham. However, his most recent outing saw just 1 point in Liverpool's disappointing 2-1 away defeat to Wolves.

With 32.3% ownership, Virgil faces Tottenham away in Gameweek 30, then Brighton at home in Gameweek 31, offering mixed fixture difficulty for the Reds' defence.

Hill Provides Budget Defensive Option

Bournemouth's Hill has risen to £4.2m, making him an attractive budget defensive option. The defender has shown consistent involvement, playing the full 90 minutes in each of his last three fixtures. He secured 6 points in a 0-0 away draw with West Ham, managed 2 points in a 1-1 home draw against Sunderland, and impressed with 8 points in another 0-0 home draw with Brentford.

At just 7.2% ownership, Hill faces Burnley away in Gameweek 30, then Manchester United at home in Gameweek 31, presenting challenging fixtures ahead.

Price Falls ⬇️

Rice Drops Despite Consistent Starts

Arsenal's Declan Rice has fallen to £7.4m despite maintaining his place in the starting eleven. The midfielder contributed 4 points in Arsenal's impressive 4-1 away victory over Spurs, followed by 5 points in the 2-1 home win against Chelsea, though he was substituted after 76 minutes. His most recent outing saw 3 points in a 1-0 away win at Brighton.

With 30.1% ownership, Rice faces Everton at home in Gameweek 30 but has a blank fixture in Gameweek 31, which may explain the price drop as managers look elsewhere.

Low Ownership Price Falls

Two players with minimal ownership have also seen their values decrease. Burnley defender Ekdal has dropped to £3.8m with just 0.8% ownership, while Bournemouth midfielder Kluivert has fallen to £6.9m with only 0.6% of managers selecting him.
