It is the Fantasy Premier League differentials on offer in the second match of Double Gameweek 26.

Despite playing just once over the next few days, Brighton are the more popular outfit in this match, Lewis Dunk (£4.9m) starting the match with 5.6% ownership.

Robert Sánchez (£4.5m) is another leading figure as the Seagulls travel to West Bromwich Albion although on 3.0% of Fantasy managers currently rely on the goalkeeper.

2.8% are still invested in Neal Maupay (£6.1m) who leads the line today, accompanied by an out-of-position Leandro Trossard (£5.7m).

It looks as if Graham Potter has gone with a back-four for the visit to the Hawthorns, with Dan Burn (£4.2m) and Joël Veltman (£4.3m) in the left and right-back positions either side of Dunk and Ben White (£4.4m).

Meanwhile, Matheus Pereira (£5.4m) is the most fashionable starting Baggies option today sat in 1.8% of teams.

Ahead of facing two fixtures, the midfielder has a goal and assist in his last two at home.

Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) has been a much-discussed asset in the build-up to Double Gameweek 26 and starts up-front for the fourth-successive Premier League match.

He is inside the top-four among all players for minutes per expected goal involvement (xGI) over the last four matches but only 0.8% of Fantasy managers are invested in the forward.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) is also on the radar even though just 0.6% of managers possess the Arsenal loanee.

He is deployed out of position once again today, operating on the right-hand flank of West Brom’s attacking midfield trio.

Double Gameweek 26 Line-ups

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-2-3-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, Bartley, O’Shea, Furlong; Yokuslu, Gallagher; M Phillips, M Pereira, Maitland-Niles; Diagne.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-4-2): R Sánchez; Burn, Dunk, White, Veltman; Connolly, Mac Allister, Bissouma, Groß; Maupay, Trossard.

Double Gameweek 26 so far…

Another Double Gameweek, another attacking haul for Manchester City’s centre-backs.

João Cancelo (£6.1m) watched Saturday’s lunch-time kick-off in dismay as Pep Guardiola benched him for the first time since Gameweek 21.

And his absence from the team, which lasted the whole game, made goals for Ruben Dias (£6.1m) and John Stones (£5.2m) all the more painful for the Portuguese international’s 26.6% ownership.

Cancelo was named on Manchester City’s bench alongside Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Phil Foden (£6.1m), although the latter made it on for the second period.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m) were the providers for the Citizens’ two goals while Ilkay Gundogan (£6.2m) continued his run of matches without an attacking return to three before coming off in the 89th minute.

    In typical DGW fever fashion I sold Antonio for Diagne, because there was no way Antonio was getting anything from Man City.

    When will we guys ever learn?

    Gundogan never delivers for me 🙁 Suddenly he is no where to be seen

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He was never that good. extremely lucky to get some of the goals he got.

      Gundo owners are either sheep or casuals, or both

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Having a bad season are you?

        😆

        1. A. PRISE
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          44k. Not that bad

          1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Imagine where you would be if you played casual and had gundog. I mean I shot up since I got him and I am ahead of you.

            Baaaaah

            1. A. PRISE
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              For now. Let's talk tomorrow

              Baaah

              1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                What happens tomorrow does not change the fact that since I got gundog I have shot up the rankings and u seem to be slipping. 44k is great but not when you were 17k maybe higher before that and made the wrong call on the player you now insult other players for owning. Maybe you go back ahead of me tomorrow. Doesn't change the context of your comment. Surely you have higher goals than beating me? I have zero concern for your ranking, today or tomorrow.

                1. A. PRISE
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 5 months ago

                  "I have zero concern for your ranking, today or tomorrow."

                  Sure, that's why you wrote several comments about it 🙂

                  1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 5 months ago

                    Comment one: You must be having a bad season in reference to ridiculous insult to gundog owners.

                    Comment 2: I am actually ahead of you because I own him in reference to unsolicited rank check

                    Comment 3: I have far higher goals than beating you as I have no idea who you are and couldn't care less what your rank is tomorrow. I wont even remember this conversation in 5 mins.

                    Last comment: you most certainly are salty regardless of your decent rank because you know that most of the people like me who are now ahead of you are ahead because they made the right call on gundogan. Maybe you made the right call for whatever decisions you made this week and maybe you turn things around but it changes nothing about gundog and I am not a sheep or a casual for outfoxing you on that one. Lastly if you really want me to believe you are ahead of me should we cross swords again, link your team. Probably talking to a bottom feeder for all I know

                      You come across as a really despicable person.

                      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
                        • 9 Years
                        5 years, 5 months ago

                        Really?

                        You must be completely inferring a far more negative tone than what I am writing with.

                        I see despicable things happenning in this world sadly and I have seen far harsher discussions on this site, and I have never thought anyone despicable

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        He was in the right positions to score those goals to be fair to him.

      3. MrZ
        • 11 Years

        Salty non owner

  6. fr3d

    Walker - Laporte - Dias - Cancelo clean sheets locked in vs Wolves

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Would love this! With of course Cancelo goal and assist on the side

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Think Laporte will go LB and Stones and Dias at CB

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agree

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Do we think Cancelo plays the game ?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      FPL? I doubt it

  8. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Wonder if gundogs purple patch is no over??

    Hope he is benched v wolves as I'd still want to captain in dgw27 if confident he starts both....

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He got taken off to rest him for Wednesday

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        ....?

        Pep brought Rodri in to strengthen defense for last few minutes and help with aerial duels.

      2. MARVELLUS
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        5 mins rest?

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          5 mins is a lot

          1. el polako
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Just because you convinced your missus about it....

            1. Neves say Neves
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Booyakashaaa

            2. Flynny
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              He wasn't given a 5 minute rest today to prepare for midweek. I'm sure of that

              1. el polako
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                Of course not, it was tactical change as Pep anticipated several desperate long balls from West Ham.

  9. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How many City defenders will be in the Premier League team of the season?

    Dias, Stones and Cancelo nailed on for me.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Cresswell has to be in there.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        And Justin, despite missing part season

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Must be

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Did Stones play before mid November?

      I'd say TOTS defence could be Justin Dias Cresswell Cancelo

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This

    4. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Martinez
      Cancelo Dias Stones Cresswell
      KDB Gundo Bruno
      Salah Kane Son

      1. Captain_Shirokov
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        KDB?! lol

    5. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Cancelo not for me, only plays every other game..

  10. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Need a Pereira haul here.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He doesn't play until tomorrow. 😀
      Then he can haul.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Wrong one

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Planning to get Trossard or Almiron for the BGW29... Insane?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Lingard is your man at that price point

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        smashing it on my bench last 2 weeks

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Have they started giving points for players hitting the post?

    4. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes mad

      Go Lingard. Wouldn’t touch either of those attacks - especially Brighton. Definition of toothless.

  12. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Time for Diagne haul

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      *Digne

  13. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Please Brighton keep a cleanie to make up for Stones and KdB

  14. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Gundo, still that important?

    1. Vlekz
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He is the best in that price bracket. A 6 million guy scoring 1 in 3 gameweeks is also insane value. Here he has so many doubles to add to it

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No.

  15. Amey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard Time !!

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Get your sock out 😉

  16. Nightcrawler

    How are cancelo owners feeling?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Bit too warm and tummy a bit full. Back hurts a bit. Worried about how kids doing at school.

  18. Vlekz
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What's the ideal template rating, specially if you are chasing(350k here)?
    I have 45%, is that too low?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      2 thirds odd is differentail enough I'd guess

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I agree, something like 65% is the right balance

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks. If anybody has any idea it's you.

          1. Vlekz
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Thank you both.

  19. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I’d be close to winning FPL this year if I ever got any of the monster defender hauls. Ridiculous

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      This time next year we’ll be millionaires Rodney!

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I’m just saying there is insane luck involved in getting the very top ranks.

        Getting 17 points a week from a defender compared to 2 - have that happen 6 times in a season and that really adds up

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          True but the high ceiling defenders is from a small group, you can increase your chances of getting lucky

          1. TheDragon
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            I’ve had pretty much the ‘alternative’ player for every single big defender haul

            1. Kun Tozser
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Looking forward to Digne doing the same this week

      I think they have update bps this season, its very rarely changes once the game is over, so the bps are more real time this season.

  21. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Can anyone confirm the Salah rumours, I.e Jota sold him in his fantasy team?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What rumours?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        You know the one about the guy maybe not playing because of that other thing

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Same Diego Jota who bought Adrian for this week?
      Tarkowski sold Pope.
      Some guy from WH sold Lingard AND Antonio.

      They are fooling around after the news on Villa players selling Grealish last GW

  22. g40steve

    ML player C KDB but removed Bruno!

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A rival sold bruno as well, thought it was a bit of bizarre move.

      Part of a -12!

    On a -12 with Sterling and Cancelo... this has started well 😉

    Stones really starting to annoy me as a cancelo dias owner.
    When dias finally gets the goal, stones matches him!
    And cancelo seems to be rotated more and more..

    Bite the bullet and move Joao on, or keep the faith?

      You’ve got the right two

      It’s just ridiculously unlucky - it happens

        Maybe your right! Doesn't help that the 3 close rivals in ml are all stones owners!

      I had Dias, Stones & Foden on WC that became Cancelo, Dias & Gundo 🙁

        Ouch.. but probably right trio longer term, I have gundo as well!

      Stones is killing me to. Big green arrow with Dias turned red when Stones scored.

      the whole ‘cancelo is due’ thing has really messed people up. hard to spend xfers moving between them all but also having stones/dias has proven to be better over time.

        He is due.. but then he always delivers either in the fa cup of cl lol... thats where he is getting his goals and assists!

      In the same boat. Yeah it’s super frustrating. Can’t have all the city players unfortunately.

    Took a -8 and cleared my debts with 2 played. Always a nice feeling.

    Bruno to Lingard
    Watkins to Kane

    I really rate Palace chances next week 🙂

      Maybe I should have held TC for a week

    Feck me! Just in to see both of my I
    City central defenders scores! Wahey!
    Rough is I sold Antonio to Watkins for a hit. That could still work out though.

    Frustrating when De Bruyne comes into the team. Too much needlessly goes through him. Controversial thing to say but Man C were a better team without him. Don't forget a couple of seasons ago they won the league with insane points tally without him for the whole of that season.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, but will you get him in?

      "needlessly goes through him" that's when i stopped reading

      Kun starting makes as much difference - the multiple false 9s are out of work.
