Fantasy Premier League Price Changes: 19 Players See Value Shifts on February 28th

Today brought significant movement in the Fantasy Premier League transfer market, with 19 players experiencing price changes that could impact managers' strategies heading into the crucial final months of the season.

Price Rises ⬆️

Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool Defender

The Liverpool captain now costs £6.1m following his latest price increase. Van Dijk's upcoming fixtures present a mixed bag, with home matches against Wolves and Everton offering clean sheet potential, though trips to Tottenham and Brighton could prove more challenging. His recent form has been impressive, particularly the 17-point haul against Sunderland which included defensive contributions and bonus points. Despite a disappointing blank against Manchester City, he bounced back with 11 points against Nottingham Forest, showcasing his consistency in Liverpool's defensive setup.

Hugo Ekitiké - Liverpool Forward

The Liverpool striker has risen to £9.0m despite managing just 6 points across his last three appearances. Ekitiké's recent performances have been underwhelming, with minimal attacking returns against Manchester City, Sunderland, and Nottingham Forest. However, Liverpool's favourable upcoming fixtures against Wolves, Brighton, Fulham, and Everton could provide the platform for improved returns. His consistent starting position suggests Jürgen Klopp maintains faith in the forward's abilities.

Harry Wilson - Fulham Midfielder

Wilson's price has increased to £6.0m following some encouraging recent displays. The Welsh midfielder showed his quality with an 8-point return against Sunderland, though he struggled in defeats to Everton and Manchester City. Fulham's upcoming fixtures include a potentially tricky away trip to West Ham, but home matches against Nottingham Forest and Burnley could offer scoring opportunities. His consistent 90-minute appearances demonstrate his importance to Marco Silva's system.

Price Falls ⬇️

João Pedro - Chelsea Forward

The Brazilian forward has dropped to £7.6m despite maintaining decent form with 25 points across his last three fixtures. Pedro's consistency is evident through his regular starts and 90-minute appearances, including a 10-point haul against Leeds. Chelsea's upcoming fixtures present mixed challenges, with Aston Villa away followed by Newcastle at home. The blank fixture in Gameweek 31 could influence transfer decisions, though subsequent matches against Manchester City and Manchester United offer potential for attacking returns.

Declan Rice - Arsenal Midfielder

Rice's price has fallen to £7.5m following a period of modest returns. The England international managed 18 points across his last three appearances, including a 9-point display against Wolves. Arsenal's fixture list shows Brighton away and Everton at home before a concerning blank in Gameweek 31. This fixture gap could prompt managers to consider alternatives, despite Rice's consistent defensive contributions and occasional attacking threat.

Jurriën Timber - Arsenal Defender

The Dutch defender now costs £6.3m after his latest price drop. Timber's recent form has been inconsistent, with just 6 points from his last three matches, including an early substitution against Tottenham after 57 minutes. Arsenal's blank fixture in Gameweek 31 compounds concerns about his short-term value, though his attacking potential from full-back remains appealing when fit and playing regularly.

Enzo Fernández - Chelsea Midfielder

Enzo has dropped to £6.7m following a run of modest returns. The Argentine midfielder has managed just 6 points across his last three fixtures, with consistent 2-point returns suggesting limited attacking threat. Chelsea's fixture list mirrors that of teammate João Pedro, with the Gameweek 31 blank potentially influencing transfer decisions. His deep-lying role limits his Fantasy appeal despite regular minutes.

Florian Wirtz - Liverpool Midfielder

Wirtz's price has fallen to £8.3m, with injury concerns adding to his woes. The German midfielder is currently dealing with a back injury and has only a 25% chance of playing in upcoming fixtures. His recent form showed promise with a 3-point return against Sunderland, but he was unused in the victory over Nottingham Forest. The injury uncertainty makes him a risky proposition despite Liverpool's favourable fixture run.

Bruno Guimarães - Newcastle Midfielder

The Brazilian midfielder has dropped to £6.8m while dealing with a hamstring injury expected to keep him sidelined until April 11th. His recent form before injury was encouraging, particularly an 11-point haul against Brentford. However, the extended absence makes him impossible to consider for immediate selection, despite Newcastle's reasonable fixture list including matches against Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

Low Ownership Risers ⬆️

Several players with minimal ownership have also seen price increases: Diogo Dalot (£4.6m, 5.0% ownership), Benjamin Šeško (£7.3m, 4.2% ownership), Ibrahima Konaté (£5.5m, 4.1% ownership), and Alex Scott (£5.1m, 1.3% ownership).

Low Ownership Fallers ⬇️

Among the low-ownership casualties are Nathan Collins (£4.9m), Yankuba Minteh (£5.5m), Brian Brobbey (£5.4m), Nathan Aké (£5.2m), Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.2m), and Rico Alleyne (£4.0m).
