🚨 FPL Gameweek 26: Friday Deadline, Manager Changes and Fixture Congestion 🚨

Hey All,

As always, a full preview piece here: https://full90fpl.com/fpl-gameweek-26-preview-manager-transfers-and-fixture-pile-ups/

TL;DR below

📅 Deadlines Alert! ➡️ GW26: Friday, 18:30 UK ⏳ ➡️ GW27: Tuesday, 18:00 UK ⏳

🔄 Assistant Manager Chip

• Neither Slot (Liverpool) or & Emery (Villa) have easy fixtures.
• Arteta (Arsenal) = safe bet ✅
• McKenna (Ipswich) & Glasner (Palace) = 1 or 18 points,,, 🎲
• If you're chasing, go for it. If you're leading, maybe hold or Arteta.
• I am leading but will probably go for it because it's fun

🛑 GW29 Blank & GW32 Double Incoming

• Newcastle & Palace blank in 29, double in 32.
• If you're "dead-ending" into GW29, you CAN start offloading Liverpool, Villa, Newcastle & Palace players.
• But, you don’t NEED to - 5 free transfers baby!
• Newcastle assets = top priority to sell 📉

💰 Trossard & Nwaneri = Short-Term Bargains?

• With Arsenal injuries, they’ll get minutes. But only short-term! ⚠️

🔥 Best Fixtures (GW26-30)

Attackers: Bournemouth, Wolves, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal.

Defenders: Wolves, Man Utd, Brentford, West Ham, Arsenal.

📈 Who to Buy?

✅ Marmoush, Kluivert, Semenyo, Cunha, Mbeumo.

❌ Mitoma, Mateta, Wood (he keeps scoring but surely not forever?! 🤯).

📉 Who to Sell?

• Gakpo: Probably. Rotation risk & blanks in 29.
• Palmer: No way. Still top-tier.
• Diaz: Hold. Liverpool injuries = more minutes.
• Wood: Yes (unless you fancy captaining him in GW29).

🎯 Captaincy Thoughts

• Salah vs City is safe, but Mbeumo vs Leicester is a cheeky alternative.
• My plan? Boring captain this week and more fun in GW29. 😉
