The upcoming Blank Gameweek 26 is the most significant one of the season so far, featuring four teams with no fixtures. Listed below are the top FPL player picks for Blank Gameweek 26:

Erling Haaland- Manchester City

Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s key player, faces another favorable fixture, having 17 goals and six assists to his name. Manchester City takes on Bournemouth, a team that has conceded 46 goals (seventeenth) with an Expected Goals conceded (xGC) of 38.7 (eleventh). Manchester City, with 57 goals (third) and an xG of 49.27 (fourth), is expected to win in this gameweek.

Ollie Watkins– Aston Villa

Ollie Watkins, having an outstanding season with 13 goals and 14 assists, is the second-highest scorer in the game (161 points). Aston Villa faces Nottingham Forest, a team that has conceded 44 goals (sixteenth), making Watkins a promising option. Watkins is the clear talisman for his team and a solid choice for a scoring forward in FPL teams.

Bukayo Saka– Arsenal

Bukayo Saka, in excellent form with 12 goals and eight assists, faces a favorable home game against Newcastle United. Arsenal, scoring 58 goals (second) with an xG of 52.04 (second), is expected to dominate against a defensively struggling Newcastle. Saka, with impressive underlying numbers, is a nailed-on starter, on penalties, and poses a significant goal and assist threat.

Rasmus Hojlund– Manchester United

Rasmus Hojlund has found his rhythm at Manchester United, contributing seven goals and two assists in his last six games. Manchester United, unbeaten in their last five games, faces Fulham, a team that has conceded 41 goals (fourteenth), making them strong favorites. Hojlund, the main goal threat, is a guaranteed starter and has a favorable fixture to add to his attacking returns.

Hwang Hee-chan– Wolves

Hwang Hee-Chan, a budget-friendly option with 10 goals and three assists, is a top option for Blank Gameweek 26. Wolves play Sheffield United, the team with the most goals conceded (65) and the worst xGC (50.2) in the division. Hwang, Wolves’ top scorer, is likely to play up front and could be the penalty taker, making him a solid choice for this gameweek.
