As we approach Gameweek 26 of the 2025/26 season, one of the most important strategic factors to consider is the Double Gameweek awarded to Arsenal and Wolves.
Players from both clubs will feature twice
in this round of fixtures, creating a prime opportunity for managers to target added minutes and upside.
Investing in well-priced or low-owned assets from these double-gameweek teams – alongside select single-fixture picks – could be the key to making significant gains in the rankings.
With that in mind here are our gameweek 26 differential picks.
Mateus Mané (£4.6m, 2.1% owned) – Wolves (DGW26)
- Fixtures: Nottingham Forest (A), Arsenal (H)
One of the standout low-ownership options for Double Gameweek 26 is Mateus Mané.
Despite Wolves’ struggles this season, Mané has delivered solid fantasy returns in recent weeks and offers two chances for attacking contributions at a very affordable price.
With ownership sitting at just 2.1%, he qualifies as a genuine GW26 differential capable of rewarding managers willing to take the risk.
Hugo Bueno (£4.3m, 0.2% owned) – Wolves (DGW26)
- Fixtures: Nottingham Forest (A), Arsenal (H)
For managers looking to pair attacking differentials with budget defensive options, Hugo Bueno fits the bill.
Although Wolves have conceded their share of goals this season, Bueno has shown flashes of attacking intent and the ability to deliver defensive returns.
At just 0.2% ownership, he is firmly under the radar. As a low-cost defender in a double gameweek, he provides affordable coverage with upside, while allowing managers to allocate more funds toward premium attacking players.
William Saliba (£6.0m, 13.2% owned) – Arsenal (DGW26)
- Fixtures: Brentford (A), Wolves (A)
Arsenal center-back William Saliba sits just below true template ownership despite offering strong clean-sheet potential and a consistent threat from set pieces.
The Gunners have been defensively solid this season, conceding very few goals, and Saliba’s blend of reliability and attacking upside makes him a smart differential among higher-priced defenders.
With ownership slightly lower than other popular Arsenal defenders, he offers strong potential for standout returns in a double gameweek.
David Raya (£5.9m, 33.9% owned) – Arsenal (DGW26)
- Fixtures: Brentford (A), Wolves (A)
A different kind of differential, David Raya remains less owned than several Arsenal defenders and goalkeepers despite the team’s recent run of clean sheets.
As a goalkeeper with two fixtures in Gameweek 26, Raya offers clean-sheet and bonus-point potential while helping managers manage their budgets more efficiently.
While he is not a low-ownership punt by definition, he still trails the most popular Arsenal defensive assets – and double gameweeks often prove invaluable for goalkeepers.
