Gameweek 26 Waiver Wire Targets
Here we outline Fantasy EPL Gameweek 26 Waiver Wire Targets that are 40% rostered or below on Fantrax.
Junior Firpo
Position: Defender
Team: Leeds United
Rostered: 2%
Next Fixture: Chelsea (Away)
Prospects: The oft-maligned fullback had himself a day against struggling Southampton – a goal and a clean sheet. He hasn’t really been able to string together consistent performances since arriving in the EPL from Barcelona. But he now has the opportunity to do so; with Pascal Struijk out, Firpo should persist at the starting LB spot. A date at Stamford Bridge, a very friendly matchup these days, beckons this GW, with other favorable fixtures in the future.
Verdict: I would use a low-end waiver claim or 0-3 FAB to get him.
Jonjo Shelvey
Position: Midfielder
Team: Nottingham Forest
Rostered: 2%
Next Fixture: Everton (Home)
Prospects: No, it’s not 2018. Jonjo Shelvey actually retains some fantasy value again. How much fantasy value depends on him staying fit & regaining form over the next few weeks. He went under the radar as one of the 28k signings for Forest but has started back-to-back games. Shelvey picked up 8 points against West Ham & will be looking to build on that in a series of kind fixtures moving forward. Don’t expect immediate fireworks – this is more of a medium-term punt that could pay dividends ROS.
Verdict: I would use a low-end waiver claim or 0-3 FAB to get him.
Manor Solomon
Position: Forward
Team: Fulham
Ownership: 3%
Next Fixture: Brentford (Away)
Prospects: The next Kaoru Mitoma? No, there’s only one. But there are some similarities. Like the Japanese fantasy God, Solomon has been a high-impact sub for some weeks and is biding his time before hopefully becoming a regular starter. This past GW marked 3 consecutive games with a goal for the dynamic Israeli winger. Now could be the time to hop on the bandwagon before he becomes the next big thing.
Verdict: I would use a low-end waiver claim or 0-3 FAB to get him.
