Top Fantasy Premier League Picks – Gameweek 26

Gameweek 26 of the Fantasy Premier League is putting people in deep thought. After the double-up in Gameweek 25, four teams will blank in Gameweek 26. Liverpool plays against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final this weekend. As a result, Liverpool, Chelsea, Luton Town, and Tottenham Hotspur will not play this weekend. This means people will be making a lot of transfers this weekend, and we have a list of the best captain picks and which differentials to bring into your team this week.

Top Captain Picks For Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 26:

Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland has been in very good form since returning from injury for Manchester City. The Norwegian striker has three goals and one assist in his last four games, but he should have had even more. Haaland blanked against Chelsea but had an expected xG of 1.71. He missed many opportunities; otherwise, he would have scored even more points. Haaland is the most apparent captain pick for Gameweek 26.

Ollie Watkins

Ollie Watkins is possibly the most in-form player in the Premier League right now. The striker has four goals and five assists in his last six games. His returns in the Fantasy Premier League have been on another level, and he is a must-have in your team. Aston Villa have Nottingham Forest coming up in Gameweek 26, making Ollie Watkins a very lucrative captain pick for Fantasy Premier League players.

Ivan Toney

Ivan Toney faces West Ham in Gameweek 26. The Hammers have had a horrible start to 2024. They have conceded 14 goals in their last six games and are yet to win a game this year. With their defence looking so shaky, Ivan Toney may turn out to be a fantastic captain pick for Gameweek 26. The striker has four goals and one assist since returning from his ban, and given his form, he will almost surely score against West Ham.

Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka has now scored more Premier League goals than any other player in 2024:

◎ 5 games
◉ 6 goals

Bukayo Saka has been phenomenal for Arsenal this season. His form has been even more impressive recently. The youngster has scored six goals in his last four Premier League games. They come up against Newcastle United, who have recently conceded many goals. Newcastle have conceded 19 goals in their last seven Premier League games. Only Sheffield United have conceded more goals in their last seven games. Saka, who is in tremendous form, will surely find the back of the net against Newcastle United in Gameweek 26 of the Fantasy Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes in three full Premier League seasons:

🥇 20/21 – Most chances created (95)
🥈 21/22 – Second-most chances created (89)
🥇 22/23 – Most chances created (119)

Bruno Fernandes has not been in the best of form recently but is still a part of our list. This is because Manchester United has been in very good form recently. They have won their last four Premier League games in a row. Fernandes will definitely profit from this sooner or later and will end up giving out very good points to Fantasy Premier League players. This is why he is one of our captaincy picks for Gameweek 26.

Top Differentials For Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 26:

Pedro Neto (5.1% Ownership)

Pedro Neto has one goal and three assists in his last four games. The midfielder has hit the ground running since returning from injury. Wolves play against Sheffield United next. Sheffield has the most goals conceded in the league and will find it hard to keep Wolves out. With just 5.1% Ownership, Neto will be a very good pick to have in Gameweek 26.

Simon Adingra (0.9% Ownership)

Simon Adingra is owned by less than 1% of Fantasy Premier League players. The Ivorian has found some very good form recently. He even helped his nation win the Africa Cup of Nations trophy. On his return to Brighton last week, he scored two goals against Sheffield United. He will likely carry over this form when he faces Everton in Gameweek 26. This differential can surely help you jump up in the ranks if it works out.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (0.7% Ownership)

Jean-Philippe Mateta has Burnley coming up in Gameweek 26. The Clarets are second from the bottom of the Premier League table. With Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze ruled out with injuries, the Eagles will look towards their striker to get the goals. Mateta will have to step up in their absence. The French star is owned by just 0.7% of FPL players and will be an excellent differential if he ends up coming good.

Leon Bailey (3.7% Ownership)

Leon Bailey has been highly involved in play at Aston Villa. Most of the effective attacks for the club seem to be coming from the right-hand side. Leon Bailey has really been tearing it up on the right wing, giving defenders nightmares. The midfielder has good potential to haul in Gameweek 26, giving his Fantasy Premier League owners a very good return. This is why he has been included in the list of differentials this week.

Pascal Gross (7.9% Ownership)

Pascal Gross has one goal and three assists in his last three games for the club. The midfielder seems to be in tremendous form. Gross is also on penalty duty for Brighton and can score points that way too. He can be an excellent differential for Gameweek 26. Brighton will play against Everton this week, and Gross will be a key player. With just 7.9% owners, having Gross is a risk, but the rewards will be fabulous if he does end up performing in Gameweek 26.
