FPL price changes: Diogo Jota and Havertz rise while seven others fall
In today’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) market, we’ve seen a total of nine price changes, with two players increasing in value and seven decreasing. Let’s take a closer look at the details of these fluctuations and their potential impact on FPL managers’ strategies.
Price increases ⬆️
Diogo Jota (Liverpool, midfielder)
Diogo Jota’s price has risen to £7.6 million after an impressive start to the season. The Portuguese attacker scored 8 points in Liverpool’s 2-0 away win over Ipswich, playing 79 minutes and catching the attention of many FPL managers. Jota currently has a 19% share and is becoming increasingly popular. Liverpool’s upcoming games look promising, with home games against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest coming up over the next four gameweeks, potentially offering the midfielder more attacking potential.
Kai Havertz (Arsenal, striker)
Arsenal’s new signing Kai Havertz has risen to £8.1m after a strong debut. The German striker scored 12 points in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Wolves, playing the full 90 minutes and immediately justifying his selection by 16% of FPL managers. Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures are a mixed bag, however, with tough away games against Tottenham and Manchester City in Gameweeks 4 and 5 that could test Havertz’s form.
Price drops ⬇️
Seven players have seen their price drop, with all of them having a relatively low ownership stake. These changes could present an opportunity for bargain hunters looking to differentiate their teams:
- Harvey Elliott (Liverpool, midfielder) – Now £5.4m
- Miguel Almirón (Newcastle, midfielder) – Now £5.9m
- Luke Shaw (Man Utd, Defender) – Now £4.9m
- Kostas Tsimikas (Liverpool, defender) – Now £4.9m
- Oscar Bobb (Man City, midfielder) – Now £4.9m
- Julio Enciso (Brighton, midfielder) – Now £5.4m
- Danilo (Nottingham Forest, midfielder) – Now £4.9m
These price drops could be due to a variety of factors, including limited playing time, difficult upcoming fixtures, or simply the fact that they were overlooked in favor of more popular options. It’s worth noting that some of these players, like Shaw and Almirón, have been regular starters for their teams in the past and could still be valuable if they can return to form or secure consistent playing time.
Low Property Bargains
The players whose price has dropped all have ownership shares below 5%, some as low as 0.1%. This presents an interesting opportunity for FPL managers looking to differentiate their teams. For example, Enciso could be an interesting option at £5.4m if he can secure regular game time in Brighton’s attack, while Shaw could offer excellent value for money at £4.9m if he can regain his regular position in Manchester United’s defence.
However, it’s important to remember that a smaller number of players often comes with a higher risk. These players may have limited playing time or face stiff competition for a starting spot, so thorough research is essential before including them in your FPL squad.
As always, staying informed of price changes is crucial in Fantasy Premier League to maximize team value and gain an edge over rivals. For the most up-to-date price predictions, check out Fantasy Football Fix’s price change tracker.
