Fantasy Premier League Blank Gameweek 26 – Best Players, Fixtures and More

2022

As Fantasy Premier League managers prepare for the upcoming Blank Gameweek 26, with notable teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Luton Town, and Tottenham not featuring, selecting players from teams in action becomes crucial.

Here’s a breakdown of key players who could impact your FPL team's performance across various positions.

Goalkeepers

In goal, Ederson (Manchester City) stands out as the premium option, given his strong clean sheet potential. José Sá (Wolverhampton) and Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa) are also viable choices, with both goalkeepers demonstrating the ability to rack up save points alongside potential clean sheets.

Defenders

Defensive assets to consider include Gabriel and William Saliba (Arsenal), who offer a strong case for doubling up on Arsenal’s defense. Lewis Dunk (Brighton) brings goal-scoring threat and clean sheet potential, especially against an Everton side facing issues. Kyle Walker (Manchester City) returns to the starting lineup with a favorable fixture, making him a solid pick. Alex Moreno (Aston Villa) and Pau Torres (Aston Villa) pass the eye test but watch out for potential rotation risks.

Midfielders

In midfield, Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) and Pedro Neto (Wolverhampton) emerge as popular assets for this gameweek, thanks to their attacking contributions. Pascal Groß (Brighton) is in fine form, making consistent returns and handling set-pieces. Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) offers a budget-friendly differential in an in-form United squad. Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa) is another to consider for his penalty duties. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) and Phil Foden (Manchester City) remain essential picks due to their consistent involvement in their respective teams' offenses.

Forwards

Up front, Erling Haaland (Manchester City) remains a key figure despite recent frustrations after 1.8 managers triple captaining him, with potential for a rebound against Bournemouth. Ivan Toney (Brentford) could exploit West Ham's defensive vulnerabilities, while Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) and Dominick Solanke (Bournemouth) are strong considerations for any FPL forward line.

As managers navigate Blank Gameweek 26, focusing on players with fixtures and considering form, rotation, and match-ups will be key to maximizing returns. Good luck to all FPL managers as they make their selections for this challenging gameweek!
