FPL Price Changes: Understanding Player Value Shifts in Fantasy Premier League
The Importance of FPL Price Changes
Fantasy Premier League price changes have become a crucial element of successful team management, with player values fluctuating daily based on transfer activity. Twenty-seven Fantasy Premier League players experienced price changes recently, with seven rising in value while twenty fell, creating significant opportunities for astute managers to capitalise on market movements. Understanding these price movements is essential for maintaining team value and making strategic transfer decisions during the competitive season.
Recent Price Movement Trends
Key risers include Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) at £10.2m, Matty Cash (Aston Villa) at £4.8m, Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea) at £5.3m, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton) at £5.1m, and Josko Gvardiol (Man City) at £5.9m. Meanwhile, Phil Foden and Marc Guéhi have risen in value whilst Mohamed Salah and Bryan Mbeumo have experienced drops. Erling Haaland has reached £15.0m, whilst Foden rose £0.2m to £8.3m and Van de Ven dropped to £4.7m.
How Price Changes Work
FPL price changes are caused by the number of transfers in/out for players, with player values rising by £0.1 when net transfers exceed a positive fixed threshold. Price falls require net transfers to be below a certain percentage of the player’s ownership, and Wildcard and Freehit transfers don’t count towards either price change. Price changes typically occur around 2:30 AM UK time.
