FPL Gameweek 26: Arteta & Glasner Shake Up Fantasy Premier League!
Alright, FPL managers, Gameweek 26 is here, and things are heating up! One of the biggest talking points? The Assistant Manager chip. Over 2.4 million managers have activated it, with a staggering 390,000+ jumping in just before the Friday deadline. And guess who’s leading the charge? Mikel Arteta and Oliver Glasner.
Arteta, priced at £1.5m , has been the most popular pick ahead of Arsenal’s clash with West Ham. With the Gunners on a three-match winning streak , he’s racked up 30 points recently, making him a no-brainer for many. His ownership has skyrocketed by 158,000 – clearly, FPL bosses see him as a reliable bet.

Then there’s Glasner ( £0.8m ), who’s gained over 122,000 new owners ahead of Crystal Palace’s trip to Fulham. The Eagles may be underdogs, sitting 13th in the table, but that actually works in Glasner’s favor. If Palace pulls off a win, he earns an extra 10 points due to the table-bonus system.
Other Big Moves in Gameweek 26
David Moyes (£0.5m) has been climbing the ranks, too. The Everton boss has amassed 49 points in the last three gameweeks and is currently leading the managerial standings. His impact has been massive, sparking a “new-manager bounce” that’s turned Everton’s season around. With a big game against Manchester United coming up, can he keep the momentum going?
Meanwhile, Fabian Hürzeler (£1.1m) has made waves after his 21-point haul against Chelsea in Double Gameweek 25. That was the second-highest single-game score by a manager this season! Brighton fans will be hoping he works his magic again when they take on Southampton.
And let’s not forget Andoni Iraola (£1.1m) , who’s now in 206,000+ squads . His Bournemouth side has been rock-solid at home , conceding just nine goals all season , making him an interesting pick ahead of their game against Wolves.
The Title Race & FPL Implications
Beyond FPL, the Premier League title race is wide open . Liverpool dropping points has given Arsenal and Manchester City a fresh lifeline. Arteta even admitted, "We have to do our jobs first," ahead of City’s huge clash with Liverpool. Every point matters now, and as FPL managers, we need to stay sharp with our picks.
So, what’s your strategy for Gameweek 26? Are you backing Arteta or rolling the dice with Glasner? And which managers do you think will make the biggest impact? Let me know!
