Gameweek 26 Tips: Fantasy Premier League (FPL) | Which blankers to ditch and a new budget assist king in the Premier League?

Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: 3 Players to consider for the coming weeks

#1 Sadio Mané – Midfielder (£9.5m)

Sadio Mane is in scintillating form!

Goals: 11

Assists: 2

Season Points: 132

Upcoming fixtures: BOU (H), MUN (A), WAT (H)

Sadio Mané has been flying under the radar lately after all the attention has been focused on Mo Salah. He’s scored goals in each of his last 3 games and has 3 bonus points in the same period.

The Senegalese attacker has some nice fixtures coming up, remember he scored against United and picked up 2 bonus points in GW17. He’s averaging 2.64 Sh90 at the minute and has 10 shots in his last 3 games!

He’s also got games against the leaky Fulham and Burnley to come in his next 6 and crucially won’t blank this season. If you’re not doubling up on the Liverpool defence then Mané could be a great option in the Liverpool attack.

#2 Victor Lindelof – Defender (£5.0m)

The Swedish centre half has looked excellent at United as of late

Clean Sheets: 5

Goals: 1

Assists: 0

Season Points: 64

Upcoming fixtures: FUL (A), LIV (H), CPAL (A)

The Manchester United defence has tightened up as of late with 3 clean sheets in their last 5 games and I put a lot of that down to the performances of Lindelof at the heart of that back four. He’s picked up 1 goal, 1 clean sheet and 4 bonus points in his last 3 appearances.

Lindelof has also picked up at least 1 bonus point in 3 of United’s last 4 clean sheets so it’s a decent short term pick up until GW30 and is a cheap option that enables you to upgrade elsewhere.

#3 Joao Moutinho - Midfielder (£5.3m)

Moutinho has been providing assists galore recently

Goals: 1

Assists: 7

Season Points: 86

Upcoming fixtures: NEW (H), BOU (A), HUD (A)

Moutinho has become the assist king in recent weeks and is great value at £5.3m. He has 5 assists and 5 bonus points in his last 3 games, which is superb for a low priced midfielder. He's also feeding the impressive Raúl Jiménez who has been on fire this year.

The Portuguese playmaker has averaged 1.83 key passes per 90 but has played 9 key passes in his last 3 games. He has a great little run of fixtures coming up, so he is worth a look. One point to note is, I wouldn’t expect goals for his price point as he has only taken 1 shot in his last 10 games!
