The best FPL midfielders and forwards to target for Double Gameweek 26

Midfielders and forwards come under the spotlight as we round up the best Fantasy Premier League players with two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26.

A lot of premium priced and well-owned attacking assets play twice in Double Gameweek 26, so a key strategy will be a finding a way to fit them all in.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m), Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Ilkay Gundogan (£6.1m) have all seen their ownerships shoot up ahead of some favourable games.

But are there any players going under the radar that are worth bringing in? We’ve studied the stats to find out in the Premium Members article below.

THE FORM

Much like our article on defenders and goalkeepers, Manchester City are top the of the table for expected goals (xG). However, their cross-city rivals Manchester United have outscored them by three goals.

City appear to have the better set of fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, but their players are more at risk of rotation. With the Citizens playing on Wednesday night, their line-up could give us a good idea of who’s likely to play the most minutes.

Things are looking good for Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) owners, with the Belgian remaining on the bench during City’s 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach. Predicting Pep Guardiola’s line-up is never usually a good idea but this indicates De Bruyne should see a lot of game time during Double Gameweek 26.

With Man United in such good attacking form, virtually every active FPL team will feature Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m), with the competition’s highest-scoring player facing two fixtures.

Brighton have frustrated fans and owners alike with their xG rating, which consistently rates them among the top teams in the league, while they sit in 16th. For anyone fancying Brighton to finally live up to the xG billing, a fully-fit Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) looks to be an intriguing option for anyone using their Bench Boost. The Seagulls forward should have really have scored against Palace and finished top of our xG Underachievers table, indicating goals could be coming for the former Watford man.

      Looks good but if arnt going to start Rudiger would you not be better getting a player for 29 and benching them?

      1. The King
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, forgot to mention I'm free hitting in GW29

    Just a sanity check here. Preference for moves? Anything I'm missing?

    Martinez Pope
    Cancelo Stones Digne Burn COUFAL
    Salah Fernandes Son Gundogan GREALISH
    Bamford DCL ANTONIO

    1 FT 1.1m

    Plan A:
    Antonio, Coufal, Grealish > Watkins, Reguilon, Barnes -8.

    Plan B:
    Antonio, Coufal, Grealish > Bale, Maja, Aina -8

    Plan C:
    Antonio, Coufal, Salah, Grealish > Kane, Reguilon, Barnes, Rodriguez?

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. The Fantasy Doctor
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m getting Kane and Barnes (with Digne) as part of a -8. As someone who is opposed to hits, it feels good.

    4. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why so many hits unless you are BB? Grealish -> Barnes, bench Antonio, Burn, Coufal, Pope is enough for free

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I am bench boosting 🙂

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A is most same perhaps but C looks fun - arguably 4 upgrades if Rodriguez is fit to start both

      Have him but very unconvinced by Watkins - has the feeling of a minus 2 that will turn out to be a minus 2

      Monitoring Bale for 29 here - think he starts probs, and returns in the last 3 given limited minutes is intriguing. Some pedigree.

      Good looking team...
      A for me

  4. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best option here here?

    A) Barnes + Bamford (+Antonio bench)
    B) Raphinha + DCL (+Bamford bench)

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Same problem I had in FanTeam.

      Last time I ran the poll: Raph and DCL was the unanimous pick.

      Not for, not in great form at all!

  6. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t see what the love for Salah is on here at the moment, he’s done nothing recently and their are better options...
    ( feel free to copy and pastethis with my name on it after he smashes in a hatty against Sheffield ;). )

    1. The Fantasy Doctor
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’s second top of total points, Finished close to top scorer every season and look at his fixtures.

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He’s only had one decent haul in the last 6 though, I know I’m going to regret not putting him in 🙂

    2. The Fantasy Doctor
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think the concept of ‘form’ is overplayed on here. We know he is a class player, one of the best FPL wise and his fixtures are great. I made the same argument about KdB when they sold him as City had bad ‘form’. Look what’s happened since then.

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Spot on! 🙂

  7. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Tarkowski (tot LEI) or Raphinha (AVL)?

    Thanks

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      raph

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      Raph

  8. Aster

    Mee to Aina-good idea?

  9. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Know it's early but is 8 players enough for gw29? Not sure fh has much gains in that week

    1. wantsharptv
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      8 enough if they are high owned players

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Think I will have if all things go well
        Martinez
        Coufal dunk
        Son raphinha
        Kane Antonio bamford

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes IMO

    3. LSK
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can still use it to get an extra 3 players I guess. If there was another big double I’d understand saving it to handpick players for that but there isn’t. There will never be a scenario where everybody is totally screwed except FH users. Non-FH users were in a decent position in 18. Non-FH users will be in a decent position in 29.

  10. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best way to shave 1.7m off to find Kane in a -4/-8?

    Pope Forster
    Cancelo Stones Mee Taylor Dallas
    Salah Fernandes Son Gundogan Raphina
    Bamford Watkins?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would ignore Kane in your situation.
      Bring in DCL/Richarlison as the third striker.
      Upgrade Taylor and Mee too

      1. Clay Davis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        DCL has a dodgy hamstring. I'll be very surprised if he plays both games.

      2. Phlajo
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This. Going without him could hurt, but I'd be surprised if he gets a total of 2 goals in those matches.

        Im going without any Spurs, I just feel there's better options. (This could backfire totally)

    2. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you plan to Triple Captain Kane, i'd do Salah to Barnes and then bring Kane in up top.

  11. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Stones for this DGW? Thinking about bringing him in.

    A: He looks more likely to play both now that he was benched for the Champions League.
    B: Too risky - he might have lost his spot to Laporte.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C. Pep doesn't even know

      1. Salarrivederci

        Haha 🙂

    2. Boly Would
      • 7 Years

      A

  12. Mr Bird
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Dias Stones Rudiger
    Salah Fernandes Son Gündo Raphinha
    DCL Kane

    Steer Lowton *KWP Brewster

    Best move with 2.2m itb?
    A) KWP > Digne -4
    B) Play Raphinha
    C) Other

    1. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Never mind... sometimes I just need to read my question and answer it as with anyone else’s on here.

      Digne in for -4 it is!

      1. Boly Would
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        For what it's worth now, I think that's a good move. Digne could be great this week

  13. LC1
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Dallas or Lowton? (Already have Pope in goal)

    1. HODGE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lowton double

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years

        Lol and u know who burnley is facing right? Loll

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years

          Of course dallas

        2. HODGE
          • 10 Years

          Of course yeah over performing Leicster and the spursiest of spurs teams

    2. Boom XhakaLacaSaka

      Dal

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have same dilemma, currently have Lowton in simply because of the double but then i have Martinez in goal, so for you it's even tougher? Toss a coin maybe?!!

  14. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take a hit for any of these transfers? Which ones?

    A) Mccarthy to Areola

    B) Mee to Targett

    C) Adams to Maja

    1. Aster
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

  15. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best Mee replacement at 5.5m max?

    1. HODGE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw

  16. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Mitchell > Digne worth -4pts?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both have DGW, although Mitchell is far from nailed and plays for CPL

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Or Mitchell > Shaw better? For -4pts

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Prefer Digne. Potentially 2 DGWs. Better fixtures in 27/28. 30/31 are decent too.

        2. The Fantasy Doctor
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yes potentially 2 DGW. OOP.

    For me this gameweek is about Son, Kane or DCL. I can't get more than one without moving other key players.

    Which one is more important and why?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

    If a player is flagged as 25%, 50% or 75% chance of playing/or 100% out..................I thought that they're price was frozen?

    Grealish dropped in value last night. Is this something anyone else noticed?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think its locked only when 100% out

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Price are only frozen when the flag changes from red to no flag

      In other cases, price do change, but requires comparatively more transfers

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Atleast this was the theory till last year

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Needs to have no flag in most cases to be frozen, like returning from suspension.

  23. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Grealish is out for one GW at the most, what would be my best movie here?

    A) Start Mee
    B) Start Rafinha
    C) Replace Grealish

    Although I have all chips intact, I am reluctant to play FH in GW29 due to the poor fixtures and doing BB30, WC31, TC and FH later on.

    Martinez
    Dias Cancelo Digne Mee
    Salah Bruno Gundagon
    Kane (TC) DCL Watkins
    - Rafinha Dallas Grealish

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sry depends on how many fts u have and how many players u want in gw29. If transfers for gw29 not affected maybe go the grealish to barnes route

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Got no FTs left for this week. I am currently in favour of just benching him if he is out just for the DGW26 and starting Mee or Rapf

    4. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm also thinking of keeping Grealish and will play Raphinha over Dallas and Bamford (as oppose to taking -4 for Barnes/M.Pereira).

      My thinking is Grealish could have a double gw28 and has a fixture gw29.

  24. poidlolo
    • 11 Years

    If I just only can pick 3 premium players..who will be the best option?

    Best way to get Kane for Ings? I have 1FT and need to find 2.4m as part of a -4 or -8.

    Martinez McCarthy
    Mee Stones Dias Coufal Struijk
    Gundo Bruno Salah Madison Son
    DCL Bamford X

      Son to Barnes and Ings to Kane is what I’m doing

        .1 off doing that

        Son injured or something? Why would you move him just to get Kane?

      Maddison to lookman

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned

        I would need to find .2 from another transfer to do this

      Lose Maddison and one if McCarthy or Mee? Presume you’re not BBing.

      Madds downgrade, currently injured and might miss a fixture in 26, out of Europa tie vs Slavia tonight for sure.

    Need to replace Maddison for my BB team. Obvious choice would be Mount, but a bit concerned about a possible rest and/or his fixtures.
    Thinking about Pereira which would make my benching headaches easier going forward.
    But which defender duo at a combined cost of 11.6 mil would you pick for this BB squad? Going to FH in GW29.

    Martínez - Areola
    Cancelo - AWB - Targett - ? - ?
    Salah - Fernandes - Barnes - Gundogan - Pereira
    Kane - DCL - Watkins

      Stones Pereira

        Could be good! Thanks!

        What about Digne?

      2. Salarrivederci

        Or if I went with Lookman over Pereira I could bring in both Pereira and Digne
