There were six Fantasy Premier League price changes today, with three players rising in value and three falling as managers continue to adjust their squads ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
Liverpool's defensive stalwart Virgil van Dijk has risen to £6.3m following strong manager interest, with 36.2% of FPL managers currently owning the centre-back. Van Dijk's recent form shows mixed results across his last three fixtures, earning seven points against West Ham in a 5-2 home victory, followed by just one point in Liverpool's disappointing 2-1 away defeat to Wolves. He managed two points in the 1-1 home draw against Tottenham.
The Dutchman's upcoming fixture list looks promising for defensive returns, with Brighton (home), Fulham (away), Everton (home), Crystal Palace (away), and Manchester United (home) representing a favourable run that could justify his premium price tag.
Newcastle defender Thiaw has increased to £5.1m, owned by 8.3% of managers following an impressive recent run. His last three fixtures demonstrate his growing FPL appeal - one point in Newcastle's 3-2 home defeat to Everton was followed by four points in their 2-1 home victory over Manchester United, before delivering an excellent nine-point haul in the 1-0 away win at Chelsea.
Thiaw faces Sunderland (away), Crystal Palace (home), Bournemouth (away), Arsenal (home), and Brighton (away) in his next five fixtures, offering a mix of opportunities for clean sheets and defensive contributions under the new CBIT scoring system.
Fulham's Joachim Andersen has climbed to £4.6m with 7.1% ownership, though his recent playing time raises questions. The Danish defender didn't feature in Fulham's 2-1 home win over Tottenham or their 1-0 home defeat to West Ham, managing zero points in both fixtures. However, he returned with a seven-point haul in the 0-0 away draw against Nottingham Forest, playing the full 90 minutes.
Andersen's fixture list includes Burnley (away), Liverpool (home), Brentford (away), Aston Villa (home), and Arsenal (away), with the opening fixture against Burnley particularly appealing for defensive returns.
Manchester City midfielder Semenyo has fallen to £8.2m, though he remains highly owned at 50.8% of managers. His recent form shows eight points in City's 1-0 away win at Leeds, seven points in the 2-2 home draw with Nottingham Forest, and two points in the 1-1 away draw at West Ham where he was substituted after 74 minutes.
Crucially, Semenyo faces a blank gameweek 31 with no fixture, which explains the price drop as managers look to transfer him out temporarily. His subsequent fixtures include Chelsea (home), Arsenal (away), Burnley (home), and Everton (away).
Arsenal's Declan Rice has dropped to £7.3m with 25.0% ownership, likely due to Arsenal's blank gameweek 31. Rice's recent performances include five points in Arsenal's 2-1 home win over Chelsea, three points in their 1-0 away victory at Brighton, and three points in the 2-0 home win against Everton.
Like Semenyo, Rice has no fixture in gameweek 31, followed by Bournemouth (home), Manchester City (away), Newcastle (home), and Fulham (away) - a challenging run that may deter some managers.
Wolves forward Sadio Mané has fallen to £4.4m with minimal 1.7% ownership, representing a budget option for managers seeking squad depth.
