FPL Price Changes Fri 28 Aug 2026: Palmer and Cherki up. Ten down
The call — Two risers overnight. Cole Palmer moves from £9.5m to £9.6m. About 2 in 10 managers own him. Rayan Cherki moves from £7.5m to £7.6m. Just over 1 in 10 own him. Both rose on transfer volume. That is the market talking.
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.
Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

If you hold either, you are up. If you planned to buy either this week, the price of waiting is now £0.1m. Cherki's rise puts distance between him and team-mate Jérémy Doku, who went the other way — £7.5m down to £7.4m. Hardly anyone owns Doku, about 1 in 10 fewer than one. The market is picking a lane at Manchester City, and it is Cherki's.
Ten fallers. The one that matters most is Morgan Gibbs-White, £8.0m to £7.9m, owned by roughly 1 in 10. He is being sold in numbers. If you hold him and intend to keep him, the drop costs you nothing today. If you were already halfway out the door, note that each further fall clips your selling price.
The rest of the list is low-owned. Eze (ARS) drops to £6.4m. Maddison (TOT) to £6.4m. Zubimendi and Merino, both Arsenal, to £5.4m and £5.9m. Aït-Nouri (MCI) to £5.4m. Dorgu and Zirkzee at United to £5.9m and £5.4m. Kadıoğlu (BHA) to £4.4m. Fewer than 1 in 10 own any of them. Fallers at this ownership level tell you where the market has lost interest. They also make the players cheaper for anyone who wants in.
The calls. If Palmer or Cherki is in your plans, buy now — waiting has already cost £0.1m and the direction of travel is set by demand you can see. If you hold Gibbs-White and want out, move before the next drop takes another £0.1m off your sale. If you hold him and want him, hold — the price change alone is not a reason to sell. And Doku at £7.4m is now the cheaper City wide option, but the market ranks Cherki above him. So do we. Cherki is the buy.
