<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 26 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; Forwards</h2>
<p class="western">This season has been an absolute graveyard for FPL strikers.</p>
<p class="western">The one forward who&#8217;s managed to make it past 100 points has scored only twice since Gameweek 9.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s also got fewer overall points than seven midfielders, six defenders and, alarmingly, two goalkeepers.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/best-fpl-forwards-for-double-gameweek-26-the-fpl-forwards-to-target/"><strong>Best FPL Forwards for Double Gameweek 26</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p class="western">There are, of course, options up front for Double Gameweek 26.</p>
<p class="western"><strong>Harry Kane (£12.2m)</strong>, say, or <strong>Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m)</strong>, but neither form nor fixtures are aligning for that pair, or many other forwards.</p>
<p class="western">So I&#8217;m going nowhere near a striker with double fixtures.</p>
<p class="western">Defence is where it&#8217;s at, quite frankly, but there are some midfielders worth a look as well.</p>

<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 26 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; Midfielders</h2>
<p class="western">When you actually look at <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">the fixtures</a>, the only team with a properly attractive <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/double-gameweek-26-announced/">Double Gameweek 26</a> is Liverpool.</p>
<p class="western">But we&#8217;re already heavily invested in Reds midfielders such as <strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.0m)</strong> and <strong>Diogo Jota (£8.5m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">Pretty much every other team, and there are seven of them, has one decent fixture and a tricky one. Apart from Leeds and, arguably, Spurs, who will do well to get anything out of their matches.</p>
<p class="western">Arsenal&#8217;s home game with Brentford looks the part, however, and with <strong>Gabriel Martinelli (£5.3m)</strong> suspended thanks to his five-second madness masterclass against Wolves, that should mean a start for <strong>Emile Smith-Rowe (£5.8m).</strong></p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s been lightly used by manager Mikel Arteta in recent weeks, with just two starts since Gameweek 13.</p>
<p class="western">He still managed four goals in that spell, mostly from the bench, although he&#8217;s blanked for three gameweeks now.</p>
<p class="western">And over the season, he&#8217;s the club&#8217;s top scorer in the league, with eight goals, and leads the way for shots on target (17) if we exclude players who&#8217;ve since upped and gone to Barcelona.</p>

<p class="western">If you&#8217;ve got the money, however, you could always try <strong>Bukayo Saka (£6.4m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s blanked for two matches, but scored four goals in three games before that.</p>
<p class="western">He&#8217;s also an Arteta favourite – only two defenders and goalkeeper <strong>Aaron Ramsdale (£5.1m)</strong> have had more minutes than the midfielder, who is second for goals (six) and first for assists (five) for the Gunners this season.</p>
<p class="western">Brentford don&#8217;t travel well.</p>
<p class="western">They were unbeaten on the road up to and including Gameweek 7, but haven&#8217;t won away since, losing six, drawing two and keeping zero clean sheets for good measure.</p>
<p class="western">Arsenal will host Wolves after the Bees.</p>
<p class="western">They squeaked past them 1-0 in Gameweek 24 and the re-match is likely to be tighter than Scrooge&#8217;s fist, so attacking points might well come from the weekend alone.</p>

<h2 class="western">FPL Gameweek 26 Best Transfer Tips &#8211; Defenders</h2>
<p class="western">Assuming that Arsenal continue their excellent recent defensive form – back-to-back clean sheets and five across the last seven matches – a member of their back line looks well worth a punt.</p>
<p class="western">Three of them have double-digit ownerships in FPL, but none of that trio is <strong>Gabriel (£5.3m)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">Only Ramsdale and Saka have more points than his 98 for the Gunners this season, and the three goals he&#8217;s scored puts him equal with Lacazette.</p>
<p class="western"><strong>Ben White (£4.5m)</strong> is a LOT cheaper, but he&#8217;s provided no attacking returns and is 12.3%-owned, compared to Gabriel&#8217;s 6.3%, so there&#8217;s a differential factor to consider as well.</p>
<p class="western">Other than Arsenal, defensive joy could be found further north and involving two double gameweeks in a row.</p>
<div id="attachment_43994" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-43994" class="size-large wp-image-43994" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-1024x832.jpg" alt="best defender transfers gameweek 26 fpl" width="1024" height="832" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-1024x832.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-768x624.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-1536x1247.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-610x495.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38-1080x877.jpg 1080w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.28.38.jpg 1596w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-43994" class="wp-caption-text">Ben White vs Gabriel attacking <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a>.</p></div>
<p class="western">Over the last four matches, only Liverpool and Man City have conceded fewer goals than Burnley&#8217;s total of two, while the same two teams are the only ones to have more clean sheets (three) than the Clarets&#8217; two.</p>
<p class="western">Going the other way is the problem for Sean Dyche&#8217;s side as they&#8217;ve scored only once in that run – the league&#8217;s worst record.</p>
<p class="western">Unsurprisingly, their attempts and shots on target tallies are pretty poor as well, while their big chances total of three is the same as Arsenal&#8217;s, but the Gunners have played just the two matches during the same period.</p>
<p class="western">So it&#8217;s to the back we&#8217;ll need to look for better double double options.</p>
<p class="western">And where better to start than with <strong>Nick Pope (£5.4m)</strong>?</p>
<p class="western">His 25 points over those last four starts is beaten only by defenders who&#8217;ve buffed their figures with attacking returns.</p>
<p class="western">He is, however, a goalkeeper, so some of you have probably already switched off.</p>
<p class="western">And he&#8217;s a tad pricey.</p>
<p class="western"><strong>Erik Pieters (£4.2m)</strong> is cheap and cheerful, with a decent clearances, blocks and interceptions (CBI) total of 31 – sixth-best among defenders from Gameweek 22 onwards – to boost his bonus chances.</p>
<p class="western">Just ahead of him for CBI is <strong>James Tarkowski (£4.9m and 34)</strong>.</p>
<p class="western">The pair are locked together on a not-so-impressive two key passes each, while Pieters easily wins the shooting battle six to one.</p>
<p class="western">But, quite frankly, you&#8217;re not likely to get much attacking joy out of a Burnley defender except from a corner.</p>
<p class="western">So Tarkowski &#8211; or even <strong>Ben Mee (£4.8m)</strong> – is your best bet if you&#8217;ve got the budget, while Pieters is your bargain bucket option and with a (very) remote chance of an assist thrown in.</p>
<div id="attachment_43995" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-43995" class="size-large wp-image-43995" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-1024x835.jpg" alt="best fpl transfers double gameweek 26" width="1024" height="835" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-1024x835.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-300x245.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-1536x1252.jpg 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-610x497.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17-1080x880.jpg 1080w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-15-at-12.30.17.jpg 1590w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-43995" class="wp-caption-text">Goals conceded in the last four gameweeks.</p></div>
<p class="western">All of the above will be a moot point if you don&#8217;t already own a Wolves defender, though.</p>
<p class="western">So just ignore it, buy <strong>Conor Coady (£4.7m)</strong> for his towering headed goal from a corner against Leicester and his clean sheet at Arsenal and good luck to you.</p>
