<h2><strong>Best Differentials </strong>– <strong>Gameweek 26</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Ethan Nwaneri (£4.6m) - Arsenal - 2.1% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Arsenal have a well documented injury list right now, which includes the likes of <strong>Bukayo Saka</strong>, <strong>Kai Havertz</strong>, <strong>Gabriel Jesus </strong>and <strong>Gabriel Martinelli</strong>.</p>
<p>This abundance of injuries at the top of the pitch has opened the door for some of the Gunners' fringe attackers, but it's youngster Ethan Nwaneri who has taken the bull by the horns</p>
<p>The England under-19 international impressed in the last couple of games, with a goal against Manchester City followed by an assist away at Leicester.</p>
<p>His performance last gameweek included four shots, two from inside the box, as well as two chances created for his teammates - not bad for £4.6m.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-70855" class="wp-caption-text">Ethan Nwaneri's stats</p>
</div>
<p>Classified as a midfielder in FPL, Nwaneri has also been taking some set-pieces including corners and indirect free kicks, which gives him more reliable routes to points.</p>
<p>He's certainly a threat from open play too, and has looked effective on the right-hand side of the Arsenal attack.</p>
<p>The Gunners come up against Graham Potter's West Ham in Gameweek 26, and the Hammers have lost five of their last seven in the Premier League, with no clean sheets along the way.</p>
<p>Potter's side also appear to concede a greater number of chances down their left, where one of <strong>Emerson </strong>or <strong>Aaron Cresswell</strong> generally plays, and Nwaneri will likely fancy his chances moreso than against <strong>Aaron Wan-Bissaka </strong>on the other flank.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3>Kaoru Mitoma (£6.3m)<strong> - Brighton - 7.2% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Southampton (a)</strong></p>
<p>Kaoru Mitoma scored a breathtaking goal last gameweek, showcasing the excellent first touch that has made him one of the league's foremost dribbling specialists.</p>
<p>The Japan international is backing up his aesthetically pleasing attacking play with FPL returns, and now has three double-digit hauls in his last five appearances.</p>
<p>More often than not Mitoma is a 90-minute man too, and the combination of persistent threat and consistent minutes makes the Brighton winger a real option for the weeks ahead.</p>
<div id="attachment_70974" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70974" class="wp-image-70974 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/FFStuffImage-2025-02-21T120020.021.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-70974" class="wp-caption-text">Kaoru Mitoma's stats</p>
</div>
<p>Gameweek 26 sees the Seagulls travel to a leaky Southampton side, with the Saints shipping multiple goals in seven of their last eight games, so it looks statistically likely that Brighton will get at least a couple on the board in this one.</p>
<p>Southampton also have the worst defensive stats in the league, having conceded the most goals (57) as well as accumulating the most xGC (expected goals conceded).</p>
<p>The trip to struggling Southampton is followed by back-to-back home games for Mitoma, and Brighton also have a fixture in Blank Gameweek 29.</p>
<p>The Saints clash looks like the money fixture however, particularly as Southampton appear to concede a greater number of chances down their right flank, where Mitoma operates.</p>

<h3>Leandro Trossard (£6.9m) - Arsenal - 3.3% owned</h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Game time has generally been the issue for Leandro Trossard when considering his value as an FPL asset, but with Arsenal suffering a major injury crisis in attack, there has never been a better time to take a chance on the Belgium international.</p>
<p>With a respectable 10 returns in 13 starts this season, Trossard has impressed when called upon, and has shown plenty of avenues to points despite his often limited minutes.</p>
<p>Opponents West Ham have struggled for clean sheets, with just one in their last 13 Premier League games, and a shutout at the Emirates looks extremely unlikely as Mikel Arteta's side chase down Liverpool in the title race.</p>
<p>For Trossard, not only is there an outlook of increased minutes, but also the chance to play in a more attacking position - depending on how Arteta decides to utilise his two-goal hero <strong>Mikel Merino</strong>, with the central midfielder putting in a shift up top in Gameweek 25.</p>
<div id="attachment_70862" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70862" class="size-full wp-image-70862" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/FFStuffImage-2025-02-17T211309.423.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-70862" class="wp-caption-text">Leandro Trossard's stats</p>
</div>
<p>Having started in the central position for Arsenal last time out, Trossard could certainly be considered an out-of-position FPL asset given his midfield listing.</p>
<p>While his price is significantly higher than Nwaneri's, playing as the main striker certainly gives Trossard the potential to produce an attacking haul without doing anything too groundbreaking on the pitch.</p>
<p>If you're still on the fence, last year's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/jonas-sand-labakk-fpl-team-reveal/">winner</a> is a Trossard proponent - and is even considering giving the Belgian the armband this week.</p>
