FPL Strategy: Arsenal Dominance and Beyond
And here we go again, folks. Gameweek 26 is upon us, and if you’re playing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) with Arsenal on your radar, you’ll need to be as prepared as ever.
Arsenal’s double gameweek presents an excellent opportunity for a defensive trio, led by the inimitable Gabriel. The Brazilian defender is not just any captain; he’s the premium choice this week, averaging 7.1 points per match and offering reliable returns.
Defensive Strengths
Gabriel, Jurrien Timber, and William Saliba form a solid backbone for your team. David Raya, while not as high-profile, offers a safety net that’s hard to ignore given his clean-sheet potential against Wolves and Brentford. These three are the heart of Arsenal’s defense, and they’re essential in FPL.
Midfield Magic
Moving up the pitch, Ismaila Sarr is a name you can’t afford to overlook. His 0.43 expected goals per 90 minutes make him one of the game’s best values right now. Facing Burnley and Wolves, Sarr’s attacking prowess could translate into multiple points.
Cole Palmer has shown flashes of brilliance and should be considered for his value, despite his injury concerns.
And then there’s Erling Haaland, back in action after a tough week against Liverpool. His return means you have to consider him as a captain option, given his double-digit haul potential every time he plays. Home games against Fulham could see him shine even more.
Budget Picks
For those looking for budget-friendly options, Matheus Mane from Wolves offers good value with four returns in eight games. His set-piece duties and defensive might of Arsenal mean he’s worth a spot on your bench this week.
The rest is up to you. You might think this is new, but it’s the same old Arsenal dominance we’ve seen for years.
Trust the data, trust the analysis, and make the most of these double gameweeks. After all, in FPL, as in life, sometimes the best strategy is the simplest one.
