Gameweek 26 Waiver Wire Targets
Here we outline Fantasy EPL Gameweek 26 Waiver Wire Targets that are 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players will also have a favorable run of fixtures upcoming, so they could perform very well over the upcoming period! Plus, this week we bring you a bargain bin edition, meaning that most of these players should be free or cost you very minimal bids to secure off of waivers.
The following teams have double gameweeks in GW26:
Burnley: bha, TOT
Wolves: LEI, ars
Leeds: MUN, liv
Tottenham: mci, bur
Crystal Palace: CHE, wat
Watford: avl, CRY
Liverpool: NOR, LEE
Arsenal: BRF, WOL
Hassane Kamara
Position: Defender
Team: Watford
Rostered: 37%
Next Fixture: Aston Villa (Away), Crystal Palace (Home)
Prospects: Well, this turned sour quickly… After hyping up Kamara on the last WW article and on the last episode of the Key Pass Collective, he goes and drops a -4.75 against Brighton. To keep plugging Kamara is admittedly a risky play, but one that could get you dividends. I am willing to give him some leeway regarding his horrid day last week and as a last straw, start him in DGW26, it could either get you double negatives, or 30+ points.
Verdict: I would use a mid-tier waiver claim or about 10% of my remaining FAB on Kamara.
Harvey Elliot
Position: Midfielder
Team: Liverpool
Rostered: 26%
Next Fixture: Norwich (Home), Leeds (Home)
Prospects: With everyone in the Liverpool midfield coming back to health and fitness the unpredictability of the lineups starts creeping in. So much so, that I would not be confident in any of the midfielders starting both of these matches. Young Elliot came back from a long injury layoff with a goal against Cardiff in the FA Cup, but has been benched since then. If he does not start in the Champion’s League, which I think he will not, I would venture a claim for him on waivers as he could get 80 in the first game and even if he doesn’t start the second, he is likely to feature from the bench. I would not start him in your team if he doesn’t start the first game.
Verdict: Elliot should cost you 5-8% of your FAB.
Trincao
Position: Forward
Team: Wolves
Ownership: 36%
Next Fixture: Leicester (Home), Arsenal (Away)
Prospects: Trincao has not been great by any stretch of the imagination, he also has a lot of competition for his spot as Lage’s injury crises up top eases. That said, the Forward pool under 40% is a barren wasteland, so I will be hoping that in any given league, there are more exciting options available. If he does start the first game against Leicester, and you are clutching at straws in your forward position, I don’t hate playing him. that said, do not expect much, and you will not be disappointed.
Verdict: I would use a low-end waiver claim or about 1% of my remaining FAB on Trincao.
