Fantasy Premier League Price Changes: 16 Players See Value Shifts on December 27th

The Fantasy Premier League market has been active today with 16 price changes affecting managers' squads. These movements reflect recent performances and ownership trends as we head into the busy festive period.

Price Rises 📈

Woltemade Climbs to £7.4m

Newcastle's forward Woltemade has risen to £7.4m following increased interest from FPL managers. With 18.6% ownership, he represents a popular mid-price forward option. His recent fixtures show mixed returns - he scored 13 points against Chelsea in a 2-2 draw but managed just 2 points in the defeat to Manchester United, playing 68 minutes. The German striker also blanked against Sunderland, playing 75 minutes in a 1-0 loss.

Newcastle's upcoming fixtures present a mixed bag, starting with Burnley (H), followed by Crystal Palace (A), Leeds (H), Wolves (A), and Aston Villa (H). The home fixtures against Burnley and Leeds look particularly appealing for attacking returns.

Gravenberch Reaches £5.7m

Liverpool midfielder Gravenberch has increased to £5.7m, though his 5.5% ownership suggests he remains under the radar for many managers. The Dutch international has been consistent recently, scoring 5 points in both the 3-3 draw with Leeds and the 2-0 victory over Brighton, before managing 2 points in the 2-1 win against Spurs.

Liverpool's fixture list includes Leeds (A), Fulham (H), Arsenal (A), Burnley (H), and Bournemouth (A). The home matches against Fulham and Burnley stand out as excellent opportunities for attacking returns.

Price Falls 📉

Thiago Drops to £7.0m

Brentford forward Thiago has fallen to £7.0m despite maintaining 29.9% ownership. His recent form has been concerning for FPL managers, with just 2 points in each of his last three fixtures against Spurs (0-2 loss), Leeds (1-1 draw), and Wolves (2-0 win). The Brazilian has struggled to find the net despite playing full 90-minute matches.

Brentford face Tottenham (A), Everton (H), Sunderland (A), Chelsea (A), and Nottingham Forest (H) in their next five fixtures. The away trips to Tottenham and Chelsea look particularly challenging.

Van de Ven Falls to £4.5m

Tottenham defender Van de Ven has dropped to £4.5m with 26.5% ownership still backing the Dutch centre-back. His recent performances have been inconsistent - 6 points in the 2-0 win over Brentford, followed by just 1 point against Nottingham Forest (0-3 loss) and 0 points in the 1-2 defeat to Liverpool.

Spurs' upcoming fixtures include Brentford (H), Sunderland (A), Bournemouth (H), West Ham (A), and Burnley (H). The home matches against Brentford and Bournemouth could offer clean sheet potential.

Muñoz Continues Decline to £5.8m

Crystal Palace defender Muñoz has fallen to £5.8m and is currently injured with a knee problem, expected back on January 17th. The Colombian has been absent from recent matchdays, not featuring in the squad for fixtures against Fulham, Manchester City, or Leeds. His 8.0% ownership reflects managers holding onto the previously reliable defender.

Palace's fixtures include Fulham (H), Newcastle (A), Aston Villa (H), Sunderland (A), and Chelsea (H). His injury status makes him unavailable for the immediate fixtures.

Vicario Drops to £4.8m

Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario has decreased to £4.8m with 7.1% ownership. The Italian keeper's recent form mirrors his team's defensive struggles - 6 points in the clean sheet victory over Brentford, but just 2 points against Nottingham Forest (conceding 3) and 1 point versus Liverpool (conceding 2).

Minteh Falls to £6.0m

Brighton midfielder Minteh has dropped to £6.0m with 6.3% ownership. The young winger has shown modest returns recently - 3 points in the 1-1 draw with West Ham (playing 72 minutes), 2 points in the 0-2 loss to Liverpool, and 3 points in the 0-0 draw with Sunderland (71 minutes).

Brighton's fixtures include West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Manchester City (A), Bournemouth (H), and Fulham (A). The home fixture against Burnley looks most promising for attacking returns.

Low Ownership Price Changes

Price Rises: - Gordon (Newcastle, Midfielder) - £7.4m - Stach (Leeds, Midfielder) - £4.9m

Price Falls: - Ndiaye (Everton, Midfielder) - £6.2m - Barnes (Newcastle, Midfielder) - £6.1m - Mamardashvili (Liverpool, Goalkeeper) - £4.2m - Piroe (Leeds, Forward) - £4.9m - Nallo (Liverpool, Defender) - £3.7m - Neave (Newcastle, Forward) - £4.3m - Coleman (Everton, Defender) - £4.2m
