Trending Players on Sleeper Draft Fantasy Ahead of GW26:
Sleeper GW26 Draft Fantasy – Best Punts and Hidden Gems
Welbeck
Danny Welbeck played a crucial part in the 3-0 win for Brighton over Chelsea getting 2 assists linking up well with Mitoma and Minteh. Brighton did come back well and put up a good attacking display to win this game after two losses against Forest and Everton. Welbeck is also penalties and is the main man trusted by Hurzeler up top. The upcoming fixtures for Brighton are also decent- SOU(A), BOU(H), FUL(H) and they also have a confirmed fixture in GW29 vs MCI(A) where other teams like Liverpool, Newcastle, Villa will blank.
Up against a Southampton side who have conceded 57 goals from 25 games averaging more than 2 goals conceded per game, Welbeck and Brighton will fancy their chances to get another comfortable victory vs Saints.
Southampton Defense Stats This Season(Rank in Premier League):
- Goals Conceded- 57 (20th)
- Clean Sheets- 2 (19th)
- Big Chances Conceded- 110 (20th)
- xGC- 56.49 (20th)
Rashford
Marcus Rashford made his first start for Aston Villa in GW25 vs Liverpool after leaving Manchester United on loan. Rashford is slowly finding his touch after 2 consecutive appearances for Villa having last played for Manchester United only in GW15. He is streaky player and once he gets into form, he can be a really good asset to own in GW26 Draft Fantasy and also going forward.
Marcus Rashford vs Ipswich, Liverpool combined:
- Minutes- 112
- Shots- 5
- Chances Created- 4
- Big Chances Created– 2
- xA- 0.82
- Goal Involvements- 1(1 Assist)
Aston Villa are up against Chelsea at Home who are without a clean sheet in the league since GW18. Only Leicester and Southampton are the other two teams without a clean sheet during this time.
Mikel Merino
With Jesus, Saka, Havertz and Martinelli all injured and ruled out, Arsenal have only 3 players who can play up top- Trossard, Sterling and Nwaneri. The 4th asset is Merino who played up Top as a striker in the cameo vs Leicester City and got both the goals in the 2-0 win over Leicester City. There are very good chances that Merino could start the upcoming run of games and get good minutes in the upcoming run of games.
Merino vs Leicester City:
- Minutes- 21
- Shots inside the Box- 2
- Big chances- 2
- xG- 0.74
- Goals- 2
Arsenal fixtures in the upcoming games are decent- WHU(H), NFO(A), MUN(A), CHE(H), FUL(H) with 3 home games from the next 5 games. Merino could be a good pick for GW26 Draft Fantasy and beyond as well.
Kevin Schade
Schade despite only starting 13 Games has 11 Attacking returns this season with 7 Goals and 4 Assists so far this season. Since his return to the Brentford starting 11 in Gameweek 23, he has had 10 Shots in the box which is not just more than Wissa & Mbeumo combined but also more than any other Midfielder over the last 3 Gameweeks. He has had 15 Shots on Target, 31 Shots in the box, and 13 Big Chances. He has played 10 Key passes and created 5 Big chances for his teammates.
The Last Time Brentford played Leicester City, Kevin Schade got 3 goals and 1 assist in GW13.
Schade in last 3 Away Matches:
- GW25 vs West Ham- 1 Goal
- GW23 vs Crystal Palace- 1 Goal
- GW20 vs Southampton- 1 Goal
Leicester are in the bottom 3 for Shots conceded, Shots on Target conceded, Shots in the Box conceded, and XGC. They usually concede more than 2 Goals per game. Leicester have allowed the most shots in the league from their left. They’re also the second-worst at defending set-pieces and the worst for headed attempts conceded.
Lamptey
Tariq Lamptey has started the last 3 games for Brighton and looks to have nailed down his position as LWB with injuries to Estupinan and Kadioglu. Brighton are up against Southampton who are struggling for Goals and not able to get points at all. There are good chances of a clean sheet for Brighton in GW26 vs Southampton and Lamptey also carries decent attacking threat playing as a Wing back.
Southampton Attack rank in Premier League this season:
- xG- 18th
- Big Chances- 19th
- Goals Scored- 20th
