Fernandes Increases as Saka and Richarlison Prices Drop
Price Rise of Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese midfielder for Manchester United, has seen his price rise to £9.5 million. This increase marks his second rise in the current game week, solidifying his status as a popular choice for team captains, boasting an ownership rate of 23.6%.
Fernandes has delivered impressive performances recently, racking up 22 points across his last three matches. He earned 7 points in a 2-2 draw against Burnley, 10 points in a victorious Manchester derby against City, and 5 points in a 3-2 win over Arsenal.
Looking ahead, Manchester United’s fixtures include Fulham (H), Tottenham (A), and West Ham (H), offering promising scoring opportunities, particularly in home games.
Decline in Price for Bukayo Saka
In contrast, Bukayo Saka of Arsenal has dropped to £10.0 million. With an ownership rate of 16.7%, many managers appear to be reevaluating their options regarding the young England winger.
Saka’s upcoming matches include Leeds (A), Sunderland (H), and Brentford (A). Despite these favorable matches, his recent form is concerning. He scored only 3 points against Liverpool, 1 point while coming off the bench against Nottingham Forest, and just 2 points in a full match against Manchester United.
Max O’Reilly Suffers a Price Drop
Manchester City defender Max O’Reilly has fallen to £5.0 million. With only 6.3% ownership, his limited playing time has raised concerns among FPL managers. O’Reilly’s next three challengers include Tottenham (A), Liverpool (H), and Fulham (A).
His recent performances have been inconsistent. He played only 17 minutes in a match against Brighton, earning just 1 point. In a game against Manchester United, he played for 45 minutes and lost a point, while he secured 6 points in a full match against Wolves.
Richarlison’s Injury Effects
Tottenham’s Richarlison has seen his price decrease to £6.3 million due to ongoing hamstring issues. With 6.0% ownership, he is currently unavailable for selection, but is expected to return by 1st March. When fit, he will face Manchester City (H), Manchester United (A), and Newcastle (H).
Recent injury setbacks have limited his playtime. He managed a mere 23 minutes in a match against Bournemouth, gaining only 1 point, and he was unused against West Ham and Burnley, indicating a struggle for a consistent role in the squad.
