FPL GW26 Double Puts Arsenal Core and Palace Differentials in Focus

Expert guidance prioritizes secure minutes, set‑piece duty, penalties over rotation risk.

Overview

Gameweek 26 is the season’s first double, with Arsenal and Wolves each playing twice.
BBC/Yahoo back Gabriel as a leading captaincy choice and promote an Arsenal defensive triple‑up with options such as Raya, Timber or Saliba.
With Bukayo Saka unlikely to be fit for both games, Declan Rice is tipped for steady returns via DEFCON points and set pieces.
Blake Hurst’s buy list spotlights João Pedro, Viktor Gyökeres, Ismaila Sarr and Daniel Muñoz for short‑term upside, penalties or attacking roles.
Managers are urged to sell Jean‑Philippe Mateta due to injury, Cristian Romero due to suspension, Nathan Collins over lost minutes and Phil Foden for rotation risk.
