Six Price Changes Hit Fantasy Premier League Ahead of Gameweek 28
Fantasy Premier League managers woke up to six price changes today, with three players rising in value and three falling as the market continues to react to recent performances and upcoming fixtures.
Liverpool's defensive stalwart Virgil van Dijk has risen to £6.0m following strong recent performances. The Dutch centre-back, owned by 24.4% of managers, has accumulated 153 points this season, making him one of the most reliable defensive assets in Fantasy Premier League.
Van Dijk's recent fixture run shows his consistency, with 17 points against Sunderland including defensive contributions and 11 points against Nottingham Forest. Despite Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in Gameweek 25 where he scored zero points, his overall reliability continues to attract managers.
Looking ahead, Liverpool face West Ham (home), Wolves (away), and Tottenham (home) in their next three fixtures - a mixed bag that could provide both clean sheet opportunities and attacking returns from set pieces.
Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi has climbed to £4.9m, representing excellent value in the budget defender category. With 15.8% ownership and 49 points accumulated this season, Senesi offers an affordable route into Bournemouth's defence.
His recent performances have been steady rather than spectacular, earning 2 points against both Aston Villa and Everton, followed by 5 points in a clean sheet draw against West Ham. The Argentine has started all recent fixtures, playing the full 90 minutes consistently.
Bournemouth's upcoming fixtures include Sunderland (away), Brentford (home), and Burnley (away) - a favourable run that could yield clean sheets and justify his price rise.
Manchester City defender Matt O'Reilly has risen to £5.0m after impressive recent displays. Despite relatively low ownership at 6.5%, his performances have caught the attention of savvy managers looking for City defensive coverage.
O'Reilly's recent form has been excellent, scoring 17 points against Newcastle and 13 points against Fulham, showcasing his ability to contribute both defensively and in attack. Even in City's victory over Liverpool, he managed 2 points while playing the full match.
City's fixture list shows Leeds (away), Nottingham Forest (home), and West Ham (away), before a blank gameweek in GW31. This blank fixture could impact his appeal despite the favourable short-term schedule.
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has fallen to £6.8m despite maintaining 21.7% ownership and accumulating 149 points this season. The Argentine's recent form has been concerning for Fantasy Premier League managers, with just 2 points in each of his last three fixtures.
Against Wolves, Leeds, and Burnley, Enzo has failed to register any goals, assists, or bonus points, playing the full 90 minutes in each match but offering little Fantasy value. His consistent starts suggest he remains integral to Chelsea's setup, but his attacking output has dried up.
Chelsea's upcoming fixtures include Arsenal (away), Aston Villa (home), and Newcastle (away) - a challenging run that may not immediately improve his Fantasy prospects.
Brentford midfielder O.Dango has risen to £5.9m despite minimal ownership at just 1.4%, suggesting potential value for those seeking differential picks in midfield.
Meanwhile, Wolves forward Armstrong has dropped to £5.4m with ownership at a mere 0.1%, indicating limited Fantasy relevance in the current market.
These low-ownership movements often reflect underlying performance trends that could become relevant for managers seeking unique squad options or preparing for future gameweeks.
