Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers were met with significant price changes as eight players experienced shifts in their market values ahead of Gameweek 24. This update showcases the fluctuating dynamics influenced by individual performances and ownership statistics.
Price Rises: Key Performers to Watch
- Callum Wilson – £6.1m
Fulham’s Callum Wilson has seen his price rise to £6.1 million. He currently possesses a 24.1% ownership rate and has accumulated 92 points this season. Wilson recently scored 10 points in a match against Brighton and previously earned nine against Chelsea in Gameweek 21. His consistent starting positions—playing 90, 88, and 89 minutes in his last three games—reflect his integral role in Fulham’s attacking strategy. However, a disappointing performance against Leeds resulted in just two points.
Upcoming fixtures include matches against Manchester United, Everton, and Manchester City, presenting a mix of challenges and opportunities for fantasy managers.
- Trevoh Chalobah – £5.7m
Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has also experienced a price increase, now valued at £5.7 million. He boasts an ownership of 21.4% and has collected 113 points this season. Chalobah delivered eight points against Brentford in a recent 2-0 victory, although he managed only three against Fulham before that. Consistent in his role, he has played full matches for the past three games.
Chalobah’s future fixtures appear encouraging, with upcoming matches against West Ham, Wolves, and Leeds, all of which present opportunities for clean sheet bonuses.
Price Falls: Players to Monitor
- Gianluigi Donnarumma – £5.6m
On the downside, Manchester City’s Gianluigi Donnarumma has seen his price decrease to £5.6 million. With a disappointing 9.4% ownership rate, he has struggled this season, accumulating zero total points early on but recently pulling off an eight-point game against Wolves. His upcoming matches include Tottenham, Liverpool, and Fulham, where he will need to provide consistent performances to regain fantasy appeal.
- Other Notable Drops
- Manchester City’s Rúben: dropped to £5.5m with 3.5% ownership.
- Burnley’s Anthony: value lowered to £5.0m.
- Burnley’s Cullen: decreased to £4.9m.
- City’s Phillips: now at £4.7m, with limited ownership.
- Manchester United’s Fletcher: down to £4.4m, with zero ownership.
Fixture Outlook
The upcoming schedule presents varying levels of difficulty for the players involved. Wilson’s triumphant return against Manchester United could lead to significant points, while Chalobah’s fixtures position him favorably for potential defensive points. Conversely, Donnarumma faces challenging opponents that could test City’s defensive cohesion.
Conclusion
The recent price changes reflect player performance and ownership trends in FPL. Managers who invested in Wilson and Chalobah are currently reaping benefits, while those relying on decreasing players must reassess their strategies. Consistent performances will be vital for all players as the season progresses.
