Fantasy Premier League Clean Sheet Tips For Gameweek 26

Last week proved another successful week for our algorithm with the top three picks only conceding once between them. Arsenal (57%) and Manchester United (56%) both recorded clean sheets against Hull & Watford, whilst a Robbie Brady free kick was enough to deny Chelsea (52%) their 14th clean sheet of the season. This brings the seasonal accuracy of our clean sheet top candidates to 64%.

Why Chelsea and Tottenham are clean sheet favourites for Gameweek 26.

This week's EFL Cup final between Southampton and Manchester United has isolated Chelsea and Tottenham as excellent clean sheet prospects. Southampton and United were due to play Arsenal and Manchester City respectively, meaning half of the top six teams are missing in GW26. Chelsea left wing-back Marcos Alonso has impressed this season and is in superb form having scored three goals and claimed two clean sheets in the last five fixtures, notching 39 points. Stamford Bridge is something of a fortress, with Antonio Conte's men keeping clean sheets in three of their past five home PL games, conceding just seven goals in 11 matches at their backyard. Spurs have conceded the fewest goals this season and match Chelsea for least games lost. Kyle Walker and Danny Rose average over 4.5 points per game (PPG) and make sensible options this gameweek.

Everton also have strong Fantasy Premier League potential for Gameweek 26.

Everton are statistically the third best option for a clean sheet and enter their clash with Sunderland unbeaten in the Premier League in 2017.  Ronald Koeman's men face the defensively weak Black Cats and look set for a comfortable victory at Goodison Park. Ireland right-back Seamus Coleman has three clean sheets, a goal and three assists in his last five games, scoring 43 points in the process. Algorithm provided by our partners All Fantasy Tips.
