FPL Price Changes Mon 5 Oct 2026: Two Arsenal risers, one Newcastle faller
These are the FPL price changes from the night of Mon 5 Oct 2026. Tonight’s live price board →
The call — Calafiori went up overnight. He is now £5.9m, from £5.8m. Half of all managers own him — about 5 in 10. That is template territory for a defender. The rise cost non-owners £0.1m. It will not be the last if ownership keeps climbing at this rate.
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.

Saka also rose. £9.5m to £9.6m. His ownership sits lower — roughly 1 in 10 managers hold him. Two Arsenal risers on the same night tells you where the transfer traffic is going.
Going the other way: Jacob Ramsey of Newcastle dropped from £4.9m to £4.8m. Almost nobody owns him — fewer than 1 in 100. The market has decided. A £4.8m midfielder hardly anyone buys is not a hold, it is dead money on a bench.
What it means if you hold them: Calafiori and Saka owners banked £0.1m of value each. Nothing to do. Do not sell a riser to chase the gain — £0.1m does not change a squad.
What it means if you are chasing them: the price of entry went up, not the case for entry. Calafiori at £5.9m is the same player he was at £5.8m, owned by half the game. If he was on your shortlist yesterday, he stays on it today — waiting costs more, not less. Saka at £9.6m is the same logic at a higher price point. If the budget covers him, the extra £0.1m is not the reason to pass.
The call: buy Calafiori now if you were going to buy him at all — further rises are the pattern, not the exception, at 5-in-10 ownership. Saka stays a buy for those with the funds. Ramsey holders sell. There is no second opinion on a £4.8m midfielder the market is walking away from.
