FPL Price Changes: Last Night's Risers And Fallers

FPL Price Changes Sat 3 Oct 2026: Groß Up, James Down Overnight

These are the FPL price changes from the night of Sat 3 Oct 2026. Tonight’s live price board →

The call — One mover went up overnight. Six went down. Here is the full list. Pascal Groß is the riser. He moved from £5.8m to £5.9m. About 3 in 10 managers own him. That is template territory. The rise tells you where the money went this week — into Brighton's midfield. If you own him, you now hold £0.1m of value. If…

Reece James leads the fallers. He dropped from £5.4m to £5.3m. Fewer than 1 in 10 managers hold him. The drop means his owners are selling rather than waiting. Nobody bought in behind them.

The rest of the fallers are, in order: Lisandro Martínez (MUN) down to £4.9m, owned by about 1 in 100. Kieran Dowell (HUL) down to £4.4m. Mateo Kovačić (MCI) down to £5.3m. Dean McNeil (CRY) down to £5.3m. Luke Woolfenden (COV) down to £3.9m. Every one of those last five sits below 1.5 ownership — in plain terms, almost nobody has them, and the few who do are getting out.

What it means for your squad. Groß owners do nothing. The price move works for you, not against you. Groß chasers pay £5.9m or pick another route into Brighton. James owners face the question: his price is falling because other managers have made their decision. A £0.1m drop is not a reason to sell on its own. It is a reason to check why you bought him and whether that reason still holds.

The sub-1% fallers — Martínez, Dowell, Kovačić, McNeil, Woolfenden — are squad-filler prices now. If one of them is in your team and not in your plans, the market has told you what it thinks.

The call: hold Groß if you have him, and pay the £5.9m if you were already committed — the ownership and the rise say he is a pick the field trusts. James holders sit tight for now; a one-tick drop forces nothing. Anyone holding Martínez or the other £0.1m fallers as dead money should move them on at the next sensible window. That is where the losses compound.
