FPL Price Update: Watkins Drops Among Four Players’ Value Declines

The latest update in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reveals significant price changes affecting several players. Four athletes have experienced drops in their valuations, reflecting their recent performances and injuries.

Price Declines in Fantasy Premier League

Here are the players whose values have decreased:

• Ollie Watkins – Aston Villa Forward

  Watkins’ price has plummeted to £8.7 million due to ongoing fitness issues and a noticeable dip in form. Currently struggling with a hamstring injury, he has a 75% chance of participation in upcoming matches. Recent performances have been disappointing, with him scoring just 2 points against Everton and failing to contribute in a loss to Brentford.

• Fabian Schär – Newcastle Defender

  Schär’s price has decreased to £5.2 million, with ownership lingering at a mere 1.3%. His low ownership indicates trouble in producing consistent returns, despite Newcastle’s generally solid defense this season.

• Granit Xhaka – Sunderland Midfielder

  Xhaka’s value has now fallen to £5.1 million and he has an ownership of 4.8%. This reduction in price could make him an appealing option for managers looking to free up funds.

• Mikkel Damsgaard – Brentford Midfielder

  Damsgaard’s price has dropped to £5.6 million, with an exceptionally low ownership of 0.5%. His limited impact on the pitch has contributed to this decline.

Analysis of Upcoming Fixtures

Aston Villa’s upcoming schedule includes matches against Bournemouth, Brighton, Leeds, Wolves, and Chelsea. Particularly, the fixture against Wolves offers a favorable opportunity for attacking returns, which may impact Watkins’ performance and future price adjustments.

Summary of Price Falls

These price adjustments are crucial for fantasy managers trying to optimize their squads. Keeping an eye on player forms and injury statuses will be key leading into the next game weeks.
