Defender: Gabriel vs West Ham (H) - 5.6 points
Arsenal are favourites to add to their tally of nine clean sheets this weekend, as they host a struggling West Ham side who have taken just one point from their last four Premier League games, scoring just two goals in this period. The Gunners have two clean sheets in this period.
Centre-back Gabriel remains the most enticing pick from the Arsenal backline, with his three goals and two assists this season taking him up to 100 fantasy points for the season: only Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ola Aina have scored more fantasy points among defenders.
Two of Gabriel’s goal involvements for the campaign came in the reverse of this fixture, where he scored a header from a corner and won a penalty for an assist, before being substituted at half-time with injury. On that occasion, Arsenal came out as the 5-2 victors.
Midfielder: Mohamed Salah vs Manchester City (A) - 7.1 points
Mohamed Salah leads the overall AI rankings going into Gameweek 26 in an unpredictable fixture. Liverpool are on top in the Premier League table but a trip to current title holders Manchester City could well be tough, given their improved form, winning three of their last four games.
Manchester City continue to look susceptible defensively, conceding six goals in this time, including five away at Arsenal back in Gameweek 24. Liverpool remain in strong goalscoring form, with ten in their last four league games at the time of writing.
Salah himself has contributed to more than half of those returns, having scored in four consecutive league games, with five goals and one assist in this time. He’s registered double-digit hauls in his recent trips on the road to Everton and Bournemouth too.
Forward: Alexander Isak vs Nottingham Forest (H) – 6.8 points
Newcastle United hosting Nottingham Forest feels like another tough game to call. Newcastle beat Forest 3-1 at the City Ground in the reverse fixture, but have suffered shock home defeats to Bournemouth and Fulham in recent weeks. Forest have lost their last two games on the road.
If Newcastle United are to get a result in this game, then you would expect striker Alexander Isak to be at the heart of it. He’s scored two goals in the last four Gameweeks, taking him up to 17 goals for the campaign, with only Chris Wood and Erling Haaland having a better tally among forwards.
Isak was instrumental in the reverse fixture, with a goal and an assist for an 11-point fantasy return. Nottingham Forest have kept a leading ten clean sheets this season, but only have one in their last four, conceding nine goals in this period.
Hidden Gem: Dango Ouattara vs Wolves (H) - 5.8 points
Bournemouth attackers remain prime transfer targets in Gameweek 26 ahead of their home game against Wolves, and while there’s plenty of transfer traffic for Justin Kluivert, it’s the cheaper Dango Ouattara who is favoured in the AI predictions for this game.
Ouattara has thrived playing out of position as the central striker in this side in recent games, chalking up four goals and one assist in this period. He leads the way for big chances on goal in this period with seven, highlighting his potential for even more fantasy returns.
Kluivert has the clear advantage when it comes to spot-kicks, but at just £5.1 million and 3.2% owned, consider the more advanced player in Ouattara. Bournemouth have scored 12 goals in the last four Gameweeks, so it’s also viable to double up on their attacking assets.
