Ten Players See Price Changes in Latest FPL Update

Fantasy Premier League managers woke up to ten price changes today, with four players rising in value and six experiencing drops. The movements reflect recent form and ownership trends as we head into Gameweek 22.

Price Rises ⬆️

Thiago Extends Hot Streak at £7.1m

Brentford's Brazilian forward Thiago has risen to £7.1m following an impressive run of form. With 32.5% ownership, he's become a popular pick after scoring 17 points against Everton in a 4-2 victory and 12 points in the 3-0 win over Sunderland. His recent fixtures show consistent starts, playing 90 minutes against Spurs (2 points), 89 minutes versus Everton, and 82 minutes against Sunderland.

Looking ahead, Thiago faces Chelsea at home in Gameweek 22, followed by away trips to Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, before hosting Newcastle and travelling to Arsenal - a mixed bag of fixtures that could test his current momentum.

Van de Ven Climbs to £4.6m Despite Mixed Results

Tottenham defender Van de Ven has increased to £4.6m with 27.9% ownership, despite recent inconsistency. The Dutch centre-back managed 6 points in the goalless draw with Brentford and 7 points against Sunderland's 1-1 draw, but failed to score in the 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth. He's been a consistent starter, playing the full 90 minutes in all three recent fixtures.

Spurs face West Ham away in Gameweek 22, then host Burnley before challenging fixtures against Manchester City away, Manchester United at home, and Newcastle away - a tough run that could impact his defensive returns.

Rice Returns to Form at £7.3m

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has risen to £7.3m following his excellent 17-point haul against Bournemouth in the 3-2 victory. The England international was rested for the 4-1 win over Aston Villa but returned with a bang, having previously scored 5 points against Brighton. With 25.4% ownership, he remains a popular midfield option.

The Gunners have favourable upcoming fixtures, hosting Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 22, then facing Manchester United at home, Leeds away, Sunderland at home, and Brentford away - a run that could see Rice continue his strong form.

Bruno Guimarães Maintains Consistency at £7.2m

Newcastle's Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães has increased to £7.2m after another solid period. Despite relatively modest ownership at 19.9%, he's delivered consistent returns with 10 points against both Burnley (3-1 win) and Crystal Palace (2-0 victory), followed by 11 points in the thrilling 4-3 win over Leeds.

Newcastle face Wolves away in Gameweek 22, then host Aston Villa before a challenging run including Liverpool away, Brentford at home, and Tottenham away.

Price Falls ⬇️

Cucurella Drops to £6.0m After Bench Stint

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has fallen to £6.0m following a disappointing period. The Spanish left-back was benched for draws against Bournemouth and Manchester City, managing 0 points in both games. He returned to start against Fulham but lasted only 22 minutes in the 2-1 defeat, scoring -3 points. With 16.4% ownership, managers are clearly losing patience.

Chelsea host Brentford in Gameweek 22, then face Crystal Palace away, West Ham at home, Wolves away, and Leeds at home - fixtures that could offer redemption if he regains his starting position.

Neto Falls to £7.1m Despite Recent Starts

Chelsea midfielder Pedro Neto has dropped to £7.1m with just 6.7% ownership reflecting his inconsistent returns. The Portuguese winger managed only 1 point as a substitute against Bournemouth, 2 points in the full 90 minutes versus Manchester City, and 5 points against Fulham despite playing the entire match in the 2-1 loss.

His upcoming fixtures mirror Cucurella's schedule, with the same run of games offering potential for improved returns if Chelsea's attacking play improves.

Low Ownership Movers

Budget Options on the Move

Brentford defender Collins has risen to £5.0m with minimal 2.5% ownership, offering a budget defensive option for those seeking Brentford coverage.

Meanwhile, several low-owned players have dropped in price: Brighton's Baleba falls to £4.5m (1.3% ownership), Manchester United's Amad decreases to £6.2m (0.9% ownership), and United's Fitzgerald drops to £4.3m (0.0% ownership).
