How FPL price changes work, and what you get when you sell
The short answer
Prices move with transfers. A player many managers are buying can rise, and one many are selling can fall. A price moves by £0.1m at most in a day and up to £0.3m in a Gameweek, and changes happen once a day, at midnight in the UK.
When you sell a player whose price has risen, you keep half the rise, rounded down to £0.1m.
Why prices move
FPL does not publish its formula. It says only that prices reflect how much a player is bought and sold. So a player can rise without scoring and stay still after a big score: what counts is what managers do, not what he did.
Prices do not move before the season starts.
What you get when you sell
Your selling price is what you paid plus half the rise since you bought him, rounded down to £0.1m. An example with a player bought at £5.0m:
| Price now | Rise | You sell for |
|---|---|---|
| £5.1m | £0.1m | £5.0m |
| £5.2m | £0.2m | £5.1m |
| £5.3m | £0.3m | £5.1m |
| £5.4m | £0.4m | £5.2m |
So you gain £0.1m for every £0.2m he rises. The figure that counts is what you paid, which is why two managers can get different amounts for the same player.
Knowing what will change
FPL has its own Price Change Predictor, which shows each player's progress towards a rise or a fall. Above 100% means he is expected to change at the next midnight.
It is a guide, not a promise. If enough managers sell a player in the last minutes before midnight, he can drop back below the line and his price stays where it was.
The other side
Chasing rises is easy to overdo. Because you keep only half of a rise, £0.1m on the price is often nothing in your bank, as the table shows. Moving early also means deciding before the team news, and a transfer you cannot take back costs more than £0.1m if the player turns out to be injured.
When it matters
FPL Tilt's view: buy a day early only when you would buy the player anyway, and the price is what stands between you and him. Do not make a transfer for the price alone, and do not take a hit for it.
It matters most when you are short of money for a planned move, because £0.1m can be the difference between affording a player and not. It also matters before you sell a player you may want back: buying him again costs the full price.
