Wolves Star Among AZ From FPL Blackbox’s Top Transfer Targets Ahead Of Gameweek 26

AZ from FPL Blackbox (@fplblackbox_az) is back with his FPL gameweek 26 tips whereby he highlights three attacking stars to consider transferring into your team. 

We’ve survived back-to-back double gameweeks, but the importance of forward planning is now at its most crucial, with a blank gameweek in 29 on the horizon.

Transfers are precious, so here’s my list of top targets ahead of the impending gameweek 26 deadline.

FPL Gameweek 26 Tips

Dango Ouattara – Bournemouth – £5.1 Million

Injuries to key attacking personnel in Evanilson and Unal haven’t derailed Bournemouth’s season. Far from it, they sit in 5th place in the Premier League, one point off Manchester City in 4th and with an incredible run of games that doesn’t see them play a team in the top 10 until gameweek 32.

Justin Kluivert (27.1%) is the highest owned Bournemouth attacker in the game. You could also take a punt on lesser owned Antoine Semenyo (8.8%) – but in Dango, you have a 3.8% owned player, with 4 goals and an assist in his last 4 games, playing out of position. What’s not to like?

Comparing the three, over the last 6 matches, Dango sits top of xGI (3.02) compared to both his teammates, ranking 10th of all midfielders and at a cheap price of £5.1m. Kluivert is now up to £6.0m and Semenyo isn’t far behind at £5.8m. Even if all players were equal price, I’d still plump for Dango.

Ethan Nwaneri – Arsenal £4.6 Million

An unquestionable talent at just 17 years old who is getting a chance in the first team well ahead of schedule. What’s absolutely remarkable is the impact Nwaneri has when he plays, being trusted with corners and looking like the Gunners main attacking threat every time I see him play.

The game against Leicester was a real eye-opener for those who may have missed Nwaneri’s rise to first team starter (helped of course by injuries to Saka, Martinelli, Jesus and now Havertz).

His xGI of 0.75 was t highest with 2-goal hero Merino and he managed 3 bonus points despite just getting a solitary assist.

It’s an obliging opponent next in West Ham before a tough away trip to Nottingham Forest – but there will be space and chances available against Manchester United and Chelsea following this game.

He’s £4.6m, an unreal price for the key attacker in one of the leagues best sides. An easy transfer if you’ve got one to burn.

Matheus Cunha – Wolves £6.8 Million

One of my heroes of the season and I’m happy with the decision to bring him into my own team last week, where he returned 9 points (albeit from my bench!).

Cunha has now dropped to just 9% ownership and has an incredible run of fixtures until the end of the season, with just Man City from the current top 4 to play.

I don’t think I need to wax lyrical about the impact Cunha has on this Wolves team. While he doesn’t always operate as an out-and-out striker – and his stats aren’t those of someone who always gets the highest quality chances – he is simply one of the most clinical strikers in the league and you can always bank on him making something happen in a match.

The key thing for me was where his head was at after the January transfer window closed, but after seeing him point to his badge and shout “I’m staying” to the fans during their big win against rivals Aston Villa, I knew I’d have to get him back.

The best bit about buying Cunha is that in gameweek 29 he has the best fixture of all – a trip to St. Marys to play a beleaguered Southampton side.

I can’t imagine there will be too many who go without him for that match, so why not buy early and enjoy his differential points while they last?
