Nine Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes overnight, with managers across the globe adjusting their squads ahead of the upcoming fixtures. The price movements reflect recent form, ownership trends, and upcoming fixture difficulty.
Brentford forward Thiago has risen to £7.0m following an exceptional recent run of form. The striker, owned by 29.3% of managers, delivered a magnificent 17-point haul against Everton in Gameweek 20, showcasing why he's become such a popular Fantasy Premier League asset.
Thiago's recent fixtures demonstrate his growing influence in the Brentford attack. Against Bournemouth, he secured 5 points in a commanding 4-1 home victory, followed by a modest 2-point return in the goalless draw with Spurs. However, his standout performance came in the thrilling 4-2 victory over Everton, where his 17-point explosion has clearly caught the attention of Fantasy managers.
Looking ahead, Brentford face Sunderland at home in Gameweek 21, followed by an away trip to Chelsea. The Bees then host Nottingham Forest before travelling to Aston Villa and Newcastle, presenting a mixed bag of fixtures that could offer both opportunities and challenges.
Everton defender James Tarkowski has increased in price to £5.7m, despite his team's recent 4-2 defeat to Brentford. With 12.0% ownership, the centre-back has accumulated an impressive 104 points this season, making him one of the most consistent defensive options in Fantasy Premier League.
Tarkowski's recent form shows his reliability even in difficult circumstances. He earned 8 points in the goalless draw with Burnley, followed by an excellent 9-point return in Everton's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Although he managed just 2 points in the defeat to Brentford, his consistent starts and defensive contributions continue to appeal to Fantasy managers.
Everton's upcoming fixtures present intriguing opportunities, starting with a home match against Wolves in Gameweek 21. They then face Aston Villa away, before hosting Leeds, travelling to Brighton, and welcoming Fulham. This run includes several fixtures where clean sheet potential could be significant.
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has fallen in price to £8.8m, despite maintaining significant ownership at 37.1%. The England international's recent performances have failed to justify his premium price tag, leading to manager frustration and subsequent price decline.
Foden's recent fixture returns highlight his current struggles. He managed just 2 points in City's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, followed by 3 points in the goalless draw with Sunderland. His most recent outing against Chelsea yielded only 2 points in another 1-1 draw, demonstrating his inability to deliver the explosive returns expected from premium midfielders.
Manchester City's upcoming fixtures present both opportunities and challenges. They face Brighton away in Gameweek 21, followed by the Manchester derby at home against United. Subsequent matches include trips to Wolves and Tottenham, before hosting Liverpool in what promises to be a crucial fixture.
Liverpool forward Jean-Philippe Ekitiké has dropped to £9.0m amid injury concerns and recent poor form. The striker, owned by 31.4% of managers, is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that gives him a 75% chance of playing in upcoming fixtures.
Ekitiké's recent performances have been disappointing for such a highly-owned premium asset. He scored 5 points against Wolves in a 2-1 victory, followed by just 2 points in the goalless draw with Leeds. Most concerning was his absence from the starting lineup against Fulham, where he failed to register any points despite Liverpool's 2-2 draw.
Liverpool's fixture list presents both opportunities and significant challenges. They face Arsenal away in Gameweek 21, followed by a home match against Burnley. Subsequent fixtures include trips to Bournemouth and Newcastle, before hosting Manchester City in what could be a title-defining encounter.
Several players with minimal ownership also experienced price movements overnight.
Price Rises: - Matheus Nunes (Manchester City, Defender) - now £5.5m
Price Falls: - Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham, Defender) - now £4.1m - Piero Hincapié (Arsenal, Defender) - now £5.3m - Elliot Anderson (Sunderland, Defender) - now £3.8m - Nicolo Broggio (Aston Villa, Midfielder) - now £4.4m
