Which teams have double gameweek 26?

Gameweek 26: A Tranquil Oasis in the FPL Desert

Fantasy Premier League managers, rejoice! After navigating the treacherous waters of blank and double gameweeks, we arrive at a relatively calm Gameweek 26. Forget juggling fixtures and agonising over which players to captain for maximum returns – this week offers a straightforward and, dare we say, peaceful landscape.

The key takeaway for Gameweek 26 is simple: there are NO double gameweeks.

That’s right. No need to meticulously plan around two fixtures for specific teams, no frantic late-night tinkering, and no pressure to deploy those precious chips just yet. This gameweek presents a valuable opportunity to assess your squad, take stock of performances, and potentially hold onto that valuable transfer.

Why is this significant?

In the world of FPL, double gameweeks can be a blessing and a curse. They offer the potential for explosive point hauls, but also demand careful planning and often lead to knee-jerk reactions. Gameweek 26 provides a much-needed respite from this frenzy.

Strategies for a Single Gameweek:

• Resist the Urge to Transfer for Transfer’s Sake: The absence of a double gameweek means you don’t need to scramble to acquire players with two matches. If your team is performing well, holding onto your transfer allows for strategic planning for future gameweeks, particularly those with confirmed double fixtures.
• Focus on Form and Matchups: Instead of chasing double gameweek points, concentrate on selecting players with favorable single-game matchups. Consider factors like home advantage, opponent form, and the likelihood of clean sheets or attacking returns.
• Capitalize on Differential Picks: With everyone focused on the same single set of fixtures, this is an opportunity to gain an edge by opting for less-owned, high-potential players. Look for differentials who could deliver significant returns without being widely targeted.
• Hold that Wildcard (If You Can!): If you’ve cleverly navigated the season thus far, holding onto your wildcard is a significant advantage. It provides flexibility and a powerful tool for when double gameweeks inevitably return. Resist the temptation to prematurely activate it!

In Conclusion:

Gameweek 26 is a welcome breather in the FPL calendar. Embrace the simplicity, resist the urge for impulsive transfers, and focus on making calculated decisions based on current form and favorable matchups. Use this week to strategically position your team for the challenges that lie ahead. This calm before the storm allows you to plan, strategize, and potentially build a strong foundation for a successful second half of the season. Enjoy the peace while it lasts!
