FPL Gameweek 26 tips

Hub AI

AI is an integral part of the Hub, so much of our content also focuses on its picks.

Our best FPL team is not just useful when playing your Free Hit – it’s a useful health check on the strength of your squad ahead of the coming gameweek.

And our AI Wildcard team takes a longer-term view, using predicted points over the next five gameweeks.

Both of these teams are updated in real-time in our My Team tool, so members can check them out nearer the deadline to see how they’ve changed.

Best players

FPL Salah uses Hub data and AI predicted points to present the best players for the coming week – how many make your FPL team?

Meanwhile, Hub deputy editor George takes his weekly look at the best differentials to consider to gain an edge on your mini-league rivals.

Best captain and fixtures analysis

Hub captaincy expert Chris Tan takes a deep dive into the gameweek’s key fixtures, analysing the data to identify weaknesses to target and the best players to exploit them. It’s a must-read article that regularly succeeds in predicting the outcomes of matches.

Following this, Chris considers the key captaincy candidates of the week to work out who deserves the armband. And for those feeling brave, there’s always the top punt pick.

General FPL tips

Our brand new FPL Chip Strategy Guide for this season has launched, providing a comprehensive but easy to follow walk through the various options for playing your Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, Triple Captain and Assistant Manager chips.

Much of the fixture schedule for the blank and double gameweeks has yet to be set, so we’ll be updating our guide regularly as new information emerges.

See our Blank and Double Gameweek Guide for full details of when these key weeks in the FPL calendar are – and when we’ll hear more about them.
