With Double Gameweek 26 firmly in focus, Fantasy Premier League managers are moving quickly amid a tight turnaround and a Tuesday evening deadline. Using data from the Transfer Analytics tool, clear trends are already emerging across FPL — from mass sell-offs of key assets to heavy investment in Arsenal’s double.
Below, we break down the most popular transfer combinations, the top transfers in and out, and what it all means for Gameweek 26 planning.
The most common transfer combinations across FPL this week highlight a decisive shift away from single-fixture players and towards Arsenal’s Double Gameweek assets.
Key trends from the data:
Ismaïla Sarr (Crystal Palace)
Sarr continues to attract FPL interest after another productive spell:
With Wilson facing a difficult fixture and Sarr offering greater upside at a lower price point, this has become one of the most efficient midfield upgrades available — so much so that the Palace talisman featured in this week’s Top 5 Differentials article.
Harry Wilson (Fulham)
Harry Wilson is the most transferred-out player across FPL this Gameweek, as shown in the Transfer Analytics tool:
Despite delivering 14 points across his last three games, the Fulham midfielder now faces one of the toughest fixtures in Fantasy Premier League against Man City.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
Could Palmer be back to his best after his hat-trick against Wolves?
Will he start twice in five days?
His 189,543 new FPL owners will certainly be hoping so. Credit also goes to Lari Ahti, our Elite XI: Team Reveal manager, who brought Palmer in last Gameweek and was rewarded with a 20-point haul.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Despite Arsenal’s Double Gameweek, Saka has seen 195,970 transfers out, driven by ongoing injury concerns and a lack of clarity ahead of the Tuesday deadline.
With no Arsenal press conference scheduled before the deadline, FPL managers are left without reassurance over when the England international will return. Having missed the squad against Sunderland at the weekend, he also looks unlikely to be ready for Thursday’s trip to Brentford, making him an easy sell for Gameweek 26.
Martín Zubimendi (Arsenal)
Zubimendi has emerged as one of the standout budget midfielders for DGW26:
At his price point, he enables upgrades elsewhere while offering genuine double-gameweek value.
Declan Rice (Arsenal)
Rice’s popularity is driven by reliability and multiple routes to FPL points, rather than explosiveness:
For managers prioritising safe returns and minutes, Rice has become a cornerstone DGW pick.
The Transfer Analytics data shows a clear hierarchy of targets:
Arsenal dominate the list, while proven FPL assets like B. Fernandes remain popular safety nets despite single fixtures.
