FPL Price Update: Haaland £15.0m, Foden Rises, Van de Ven Drops
In the latest Fantasy Premier League (FPL) price update, significant shifts in player valuations occurred, impacting strategies as the festive period approaches. Fourteen players saw changes in their prices, creating both opportunities and challenges for managers.
Price Increases
Erling Haaland Reaches £15.0m
The Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, has surged to £15.0m, making him the most expensive player in FPL history. With a remarkable 72.5% ownership, he is still the preferred captain choice among managers. Upcoming matches against Sunderland, Crystal Palace, and West Ham present favorable conditions for Haaland to deliver strong performances.
Phil Foden Jumps to £8.3m
Midfielder Phil Foden has seen his value increase to £8.3m after a series of impressive displays. Though he holds a lower ownership rate of 13.7%, he represents a unique differential option. Foden’s recent two-week return of 15 and 17 points against Leeds and Fulham, respectively, indicates his potential for explosive returns in the forthcoming fixtures.
Daniel Muñoz Rises to £6.1m
The Crystal Palace defender, Daniel Muñoz, is now valued at £6.1m, following consistent performances that have secured him 25.2% ownership. His upcoming three fixtures against Fulham, Manchester City, and Leeds pose varying challenges but can yield additional points.
Thiago Increases to £6.8m
Brentford’s forward, Thiago, has risen to £6.8m despite the risk of rotation affecting his playtime. He has garnered interest with 24.7% ownership, especially due to his high-scoring game against Burnley that yielded 13 points.
Dean Henderson Reaches £5.1m
Crystal Palace’s goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, has seen his value climb to £5.1m. His budget-friendly price tag and an ownership of 8.7% provide an appealing option for managers seeking goalkeeping alternatives.
Price Drops
Micky van de Ven Drops to £4.7m
Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven has plummeted to £4.7m despite substantial 31.4% ownership. He has struggled in recent matches, earning zero points over three games.
Iliman Ndiaye Falls to £6.5m
Everton’s midfielder Iliman Ndiaye has decreased to £6.5m. His minimal scoring returns amid challenging fixtures contribute to this drop, with an ownership of 10.4% indicating limited appeal.
Ismaïla Sarr Drops to £6.5m
Crystal Palace midfielder Ismaïla Sarr has also fallen to £6.5m due to injury concerns. Currently sidelined, his uncertain return date has led to a significant decrease in his market value.
Jarrod Bowen Decreases to £7.5m
West Ham’s forward Jarrod Bowen has decreased to £7.5m, reflecting a drop in form. His recent results have not matched expectations, creating challenges for his 5.6% ownership group effective against upcoming tough fixtures.
