Ten Price Changes Rock Fantasy Premier League Market

Fantasy Premier League managers woke up to ten price changes today, with the market showing significant movement across multiple positions. The changes include two notable falls from popular players and several low-ownership options gaining value.

Price Rises ⬆️

Unfortunately, there were no significant price rises among highly-owned players today, with the market showing a bearish trend for premium assets.

Price Falls ⬇️

Van de Ven Drops to £4.4m

Tottenham's Micky van de Ven has fallen by £0.1m to £4.4m, representing a concerning trend for the 22.1% of managers who own him. The Dutch defender has endured a torrid run of form, failing to register any attacking returns in his last three fixtures. Against Newcastle at home, Spurs conceded twice in a 2-1 defeat, earning Van de Ven just 3 points. His struggles continued with a disappointing 0-point haul against Arsenal in a heavy 4-1 home loss, followed by another blank in the 2-1 defeat at Fulham.

Van de Ven's upcoming fixtures present mixed opportunities, with a challenging trip to Liverpool in Gameweek 30, followed by home matches against Nottingham Forest and Sunderland. The defender's recent defensive frailties, combined with Tottenham's poor form, make him a risky proposition despite his budget-friendly price point.

Watkins Slides to £8.5m

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has dropped £0.1m to £8.5m, though his 8.1% ownership suggests many managers have already moved away from the England international. Despite Villa's mixed results, Watkins has shown consistency in recent outings, scoring 2 points in each of his last three matches against Brighton, Leeds, and Wolves.

The striker managed 74 minutes in Villa's 1-0 victory over Brighton, followed by full 90-minute appearances in the 1-1 draw with Leeds and the disappointing 2-0 defeat at Wolves. Watkins faces a challenging fixture against Manchester United in Gameweek 30, before potentially easier matches against West Ham and Nottingham Forest could provide opportunities for returns.

Low Ownership Movers

Budget Risers ⬆️

Several low-ownership players have gained value today. Everton's Dewsbury-Hall has risen to £5.1m with 4.8% ownership, while Brentford's O.Dango now costs £6.0m (3.5% owned). Fulham duo Raúl and Iwobi have increased to £6.2m and £6.4m respectively, with ownership levels of 3.0% and 2.0%.

Budget Fallers ⬇️

On the downside, Bournemouth's Evanilson has dropped to £6.8m (2.2% owned), while Wolves forwards Mané and Armstrong have fallen to £4.5m and £5.3m respectively. Liverpool's Bajcetic rounds out the fallers at £4.2m with minimal ownership.
