FPL double gameweek 26 tips: Gabriel is best captain as Arsenal play twice, plus trust Cole Palmer


David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.9m – Brentford (a) and Wolves (a)

Gabriel (captain), Arsenal, defender, £7.1m – Brentford (a) and Wolves (a)

Jurrien Timber, Arsenal, defender, £6.4m – Brentford (a) and Wolves (a)

I’m going for the defensive triple-up again after it worked a treat in gameweek 25.

And Gabriel is the premium captaincy choice this week. He’s averaging 7.1 points per match this season, making him the fourth highest-scoring asset in the game.

The Wolves match feels like a nailed-on clean sheet and, given their current defensive form, you’re hoping they can keep Thiago and Brentford at bay too.

Daniel Munoz, Crystal Palace, £5.8m – Burnley (h)

Chris Richards, Crystal Palace, £4.4m – Burnley (h)

This week’s team is also all-in on the Palace defence at home to struggling Burnley.

Richards has hit ‘defcon’ on 10 occasions this season and missed out by a point four times too.

Munoz, surprisingly, does not stand out stats-wise in many areas, unlike last season.

But you only have to watch a Palace game to see the attacking threat he poses – he’s basically a right-winger.
