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.

    Nuno was fined £25k earlier in the season for saying Lee Mason isn’t good enough to ref in the league... 😮

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

      Refund on the way

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

    3. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Most referees arnt. Which then becomes a system issue.

      Why do we have such bad referees? What training and support? Where are the new generation?

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

    When are we likely to find out if Everton & Villa have a DGW28?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      BC said it was unlikely if Arsenal and Tottenham have home games in their EL second leg, which is the case now

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

        Cheers Scholes...

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

    Is Cash fit again for Villa? If not, who plays in his place?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Find out soon.

  6. Pukki Blinders
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    3 of 4 goals this GW have come from Centre backs...

    DGWs are well and truly made for defenders, don’t @ me

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Which should’ve been 4 out of 5...

  7. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Just woke up and logged in to check the MCI score and what do I see...My boys Stones and Dias on the scoresheet. Wooohooooo
    Today is gonna be a good day

  8. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Why do Brighton play so well against stronger teams but so sh1t against weak ones? Such an annoying team.

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      They could already have 4 goals

      1. ivantys
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Their defence have been useless in the easier games.

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

          This

  9. Pukki Blinders

    Rumours about Watkins put to bed. He’s in the squad.

    1. Effe

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years

      BREAKNG NEWS: Sources says Watkins been put to bed feeling sick. Out for one month.

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Them that were posting lies need a month ban!

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. Very nearly took him out last night cos of those rumours.

    4. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good to hear

  10. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone who has planned FH in 29. Triple Newcastle looks essential.

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

      I bought Lamptey on the weeks WC for 29
      Regretting it already

  11. Warby84

    Commentator out of breath.. Doing my nut in!!!

  12. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Joao Cancelo more like due Cancelo

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      More like Tariq Lamptey

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      J0a0 Cancel0.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ciao Cancelo

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      more like benched Cancelo

    5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      People so fickle, not long ago he got a 17 pointer amongst various clean sheets

    6. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If anyone puts in Cancelo and doesn’t think he’s a rotation risk they aren’t very well informed. City have an astounding squad, every player can be rested. Its why they’re winning.

  13. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Got a feeling 3 points for Pereira is going to feel like a haul this week

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    WBA to beat Everton?

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Everton 0-2 Newcastle

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

        WBA to become Newcastle? 😮

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not unless they score 4 goals because DCL will score a hattrick alone

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If the referee disallows all of Everton’s goals I guess

  15. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hope no one bought into this bs Watkins rumours

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 5 months ago

      The lucky ones did

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

        And bought diagne instead

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

      I did 🙁

      Went for diagne

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Plenty

  16. Flair
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Yet another great chance missed for Brighton

  17. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    This season 60 points avg per GW is not enough for a good rank, usually you get to top 10K with that average. is this because more goals are being scored or template options are less this year?

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I was thinking that as well. Set 60 as my goal average for this season and I have that, but I’m still over 600k!

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

        This. Target of 60points is thrown out the door this year

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A lot more players, a lot more active players, readily available info all aiding higher scores.

      Extremely strong template this year too.

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

      I’m blaming VAR for my poor form...

    4. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A lot of teams who can't defend which gives away easy hauls for players and inflating the average.

  18. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Jack Grealish.

  19. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
