Fantasy Football Fix AI 31 Jan. 2026
Today brought significant movement in the Fantasy Premier League transfer market, with 13 players experiencing price changes that could impact managers’ strategies heading into the crucial final stretch of the season.
Price Rises 📈
Gabriel Continues Defensive Value at £7.0m
Arsenal’s Brazilian centre-back Gabriel has risen to £7.0m following sustained interest from FPL managers, with an impressive 38.4% ownership rate. Despite Arsenal’s recent defensive struggles, Gabriel remains a popular choice among fantasy managers.
The defender’s recent fixtures have been mixed, earning 6 points against Liverpool in a goalless draw, followed by 8 points in another clean sheet against Nottingham Forest. However, his most recent outing saw Arsenal concede three goals to Manchester United, limiting Gabriel to just 1 point. Looking ahead, Gabriel faces Leeds (home), Sunderland (away), and Brentford (home) – fixtures that could provide opportunities for clean sheets and defensive returns.
João Pedro Hits £7.3m After Strong Chelsea Form
Chelsea’s versatile forward João Pedro has risen to £7.3m, marking his second price increase this gameweek. With 33.6% ownership, the Brazilian has become increasingly popular following his improved performances.
Pedro’s recent form shows an upward trajectory, starting with limited minutes against Fulham (15 minutes, 1 point), before earning 8 points in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Brentford. His standout performance came against Crystal Palace, where he scored 12 points in an 85-minute display during Chelsea’s 3-1 away victory. His upcoming fixtures include West Ham (away), Wolves (home), and Leeds (away) – a mixed bag of opportunities.
Mbeumo Reaches £8.4m Following Manchester United Move
Bryan Mbeumo has seen his price rise to £8.4m after his second increase this gameweek, reflecting his impressive 243 total points this season. Despite relatively low ownership at 17.5%, his consistent performances have caught managers’ attention.
The midfielder’s recent form has been exceptional, missing the Burnley fixture but delivering 9 points against Manchester City in a 2-0 home victory, followed by 10 points in the dramatic 3-2 win over Arsenal. His upcoming schedule features Fulham (away), Tottenham (home), and West Ham (away) – fixtures that could provide further attacking returns.
Szoboszlai Climbs to £6.7m Despite Mixed Liverpool Form
Liverpool’s Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has risen to £6.7m, though his ownership remains modest at 6.0%. His recent performances have been inconsistent, reflecting Liverpool’s variable form.
Szoboszlai managed 3 points in the goalless draw with Arsenal, followed by a disappointing blank against Burnley in a 1-1 draw. However, he bounced back spectacularly with 13 points against Bournemouth, despite Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat. His upcoming fixtures include Newcastle (away), Manchester City (home), and Sunderland (away) – a challenging run that includes a crucial clash with title rivals City.
Price Falls 📉
Reijnders Drops to £5.1m Amid Rotation Concerns
Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has fallen to £5.1m, with 11.2% ownership reflecting concerns over his role in Pep Guardiola’s squad rotation. His zero points total this season highlights limited opportunities.
Recent fixtures show Reijnders earning 2 points against Brighton in a 1-1 draw, but he was limited to just 10 minutes in the defeat to Manchester United. His most recent appearance saw 3 points in 61 minutes during City’s 2-0 victory over Wolves. Upcoming fixtures include Tottenham (away), Liverpool (away), and Fulham (home) – a demanding schedule that may limit his playing time further.
Gravenberch Falls to £5.6m Despite Regular Starts
Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch has dropped to £5.6m with 5.4% ownership, despite being a regular starter for Jurgen Klopp’s side. His 104 total points represent steady but unspectacular returns.
The Dutch midfielder’s recent form shows 3 points against Arsenal, 2 points in the Burnley draw after 78 minutes, and just 1 point in the defeat to Bournemouth. His consistent starting role suggests he remains a viable budget option, with Newcastle (away), Manchester City (home), and Sunderland (away) providing varied opportunities for returns.
Low Ownership Movers
Price Rises
Several low-ownership players have also seen increases: Evanilson (Bournemouth) now costs £7.1m with 3.2% ownership, Mané (Wolves) rises to £4.6m with 1.7% ownership, and Brobbey (Sunderland) reaches £5.6m with just 1.5% ownership.
Price Falls
Among the fallers, Schade (Brentford) remains at £7.1m with 2.8% ownership, while Minteh (Brighton) drops to £5.7m with 2.6% ownership. Stach (Leeds) falls to £4.8m with 2.6% ownership, and Arthur (Brentford) decreases to £3.8m with minimal 0.2% ownership.
