How Do Price Changes Work?

• If a player you own rises in value, it doesn’t mean you can pocket the full amount.
• Let’s imagine you’ve bought Kevin De Bruyne for £10.0m and his price increases to £10.6m. Though he would now cost a non-owning manager £10.6m, he can only be sold by you for £10.3m.
• For every £0.2m price increase during the time that you own a player, you’ll make £0.1m should you choose to sell him.
• If you choose not to sell De Bruyne and he rises by a further £0.1m to £10.7m, your sale value would still be £10.3m.
• If he dropped to £10.5m, you’d only get £10.2m for him. We like to view it as an agent’s fee of sorts.
• This poses both a challenge and opportunity for FPL managers. On the one hand, profit can be made if your transfers are well timed. This increases team value, giving you more funds to spend on the top players.
• On the other hand, player price falls can detriment your ability to buy the players you want most.
