Get ready for an exciting Gameweek 26 in the FPL! This week, we're diving into the Scout Picks, and trust me, it's a thrilling lineup. Arsenal takes center stage as they prepare for a double gameweek, and our panel of experts has some bold choices.
But here's the catch: with limited information from pre-match press conferences, our picks might undergo some last-minute tweaks if any injuries arise. And let's not forget the restrictions we're working with: an £83.0m budget for our starting XI and a squad limit of £100.0m, with no more than three players from any one team.
Now, let's dive into the Scout Picks for Gameweek 26:
Goalkeeper:
David Raya (£5.9m) has been a standout for Arsenal this season. With 13 clean sheets and only 17 goals conceded, he's a reliable choice. Raya's road performance is impressive, averaging 4.3 points per start, outshining most other goalkeepers. With Arsenal's upcoming double gameweek fixtures against Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have a low expected goals tally, Raya is a safe bet for two solid starts.
Defenders:
Gabriel Magalhaes (£7.1m) leads the way as our captain pick for this double gameweek. This Brazilian defender offers a dual threat, with five attacking returns and consistent defensive contributions. Facing Brentford and Wolves, who struggle to find the back of the net, Gabriel could be in for a productive double gameweek.

Daniel Munoz (£5.8m) joins the lineup, and for good reason. Crystal Palace's recent improvement is promising, and they face a struggling Burnley side. Munoz's performance in the reverse fixture, with a goal and a clean sheet, showcases his potential.
Marc Guehi's (£5.2m) selection is influenced by the return of Ruben Dias (£5.5m). With Dias back, Manchester City's defense has looked solid, keeping four clean sheets in five matches. Facing Fulham, who have struggled to create big chances, Guehi could be a key contributor. His seven shots in the box since joining City are impressive, and he's also consistently earned DefCon points.
