Last week was a tough pill to swallow. With league leaders Arsenal playing a double gameweek, I decided to go big and activated my Triple Captain chip on Arsenal defender Gabriel.
In a frustrating turn of events, the Gunners failed to secure a win against either Brentford or Wolves, and the clean sheets I was banking on never materialized.
I walked away from Gameweek 26 with a disappointing total of 69 points.
But in this game, we don’t dwell on the past — we pivot. Gameweek 27 is officially here, and
my focus has shifted entirely to maximizing every possible point.
The strategy for Gameweek 27
I’ve made three strategic moves to raise this squad’s ceiling. Konate joins the backline to provide some much-needed defensive stability.
In midfield, I’ve brought in the explosive Dango Ouattara and the high-value Morgan Rogers. We’re lining up in a flexible 3-5-2 formation, packing the middle of the field to control the game’s flow.
For the ultimate gamble, I’ve handed the captain’s armband to Bruno Fernandes. If you want to climb the ranks, you can’t rate any FPL team strategically above your own intuition when the stakes are this high.
Gameweek 26 didn’t go as planned, but that’s the nature of Fantasy Premier League. Chips fail. Double gameweeks disappoint. The key is responding decisively rather than hesitating.
Now it’s about trusting the process, backing the captaincy call, and hoping the midfield stack delivers.
