Price Changes Shake Up FPL Landscape
In a significant day for Fantasy Premier League managers, a total of 21 price changes have occurred, reshaping the landscape of team selections and budget considerations.
Price Rises ⬆️
Robinson (Fulham, Defender) – £4.7m
Fulham’s Robinson has seen his price increase to £4.7m after a solid start to the season. With 15 points from his first four matches, including a clean sheet against Ipswich, Robinson has caught the eye of many FPL managers. His next fixture against Newcastle could prove challenging, but subsequent matches against Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa offer potential for returns.
Dunk (Brighton, Defender) – £4.6m
Brighton’s defensive stalwart Lewis Dunk has risen to £4.6m following consistent performances. His recent clean sheet against Ipswich contributed to his 16-point tally for the season. Brighton face a mixed run of fixtures, with a tough match against Tottenham sandwiched between more favourable encounters with Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.
Konaté (Liverpool, Defender) – £5.1m
Liverpool’s Konaté has seen his price climb to £5.1m after impressive displays in the Reds’ backline. With 16 points, including a clean sheet against Brentford and a strong performance in the 3-0 win at Old Trafford, Konaté is becoming a popular pick. Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures look promising, starting with Bournemouth at home.
Price Falls ⬇️
Isak (Newcastle, Forward) – £8.4m
Newcastle’s Isak has dropped to £8.4m despite a strong start to the season. His 16 points include a goal and an assist in the 2-1 victory over Spurs. However, with challenging fixtures against Manchester City and Brighton on the horizon, some managers may be looking elsewhere for forward options.
Saka (Arsenal, Midfielder) – £10.0m
Arsenal’s talisman Bukayo Saka has seen his price dip to £10.0m, which may surprise many given his 24-point haul so far. With two goals and an assist in his first three matches, Saka remains a key asset. However, Arsenal’s upcoming fixture against Manchester City may have prompted some managers to look for alternatives.
Walker (Manchester City, Defender) – £5.3m
Kyle Walker’s price has decreased to £5.3m following limited minutes in recent games. After not featuring in City’s 4-1 win over Ipswich, Walker played only 2 minutes against West Ham before starting in the recent 2-1 victory over Brentford. With City’s rotation policy always a concern, managers may be looking for more consistent starters.
Low Ownership Price Falls
Several low ownership players have also seen price drops:
Kulusevski (Spurs, Midfielder) – £6.3m
Castagne (Fulham, Defender) – £4.3m
Elanga (Nottingham Forest, Midfielder) – £5.3m
Armstrong (Southampton, Forward) – £5.4m
Caicedo (Chelsea, Midfielder) – £4.9m
Elliott (Liverpool, Midfielder) – £5.2m
Kamada (Crystal Palace, Midfielder) – £5.3m

Impact of Price Changes on Team Selections
The recent price changes in the Fantasy Premier League have undoubtedly impacted the decisions of managers when it comes to selecting their teams. With players like Robinson and Konaté seeing their prices rise due to strong performances, managers may need to reconsider their defensive options to accommodate these premium picks.

Strategies for FPL Managers
In light of the recent price changes, FPL managers should reassess their team compositions and consider the following strategies:
1. Diversification: With price changes affecting popular picks, diversifying your team with differential players could provide a competitive edge. Look for low ownership players who have the potential to deliver returns in the upcoming gameweeks.
2. Fixture Analysis: Take into account the upcoming fixtures of the players in your squad. Consider rotating players based on their fixture difficulty to maximize points potential.
3. Budget Management: With player prices fluctuating, it’s crucial to balance your budget effectively. Avoid overspending on premium picks and ensure you have enough funds to cover all positions in your squad.
