Five under-the-radar FPL picks that could decide your mini-league in 2026

With four weeks left in the season, five low-ownership players identified by an FPL expert could swing your league standings.

Dango Ouattara's chance-making role Brentford provide consistent high-quality chances and Dango Ouattara often capitalizes when Igor Thiago isn't scoring. Brentford still have strong objectives left and will be heavy favorites in upcoming home matches against West Ham and Crystal Palace. Dango takes corners and has played every minute in his last three appearances. ## Jeremy Doku's hidden potential Jeremy Doku remains overlooked in Manchester City's attack despite Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo being over 50% owned and Cherki gaining popularity. He offers a budget-friendly route to points from the league's top-scoring side under Pep Guardiola. The title race may hinge on goal difference, and Doku could receive free rein in an all-out attacking approach during the season's final stretch. ## Daniel Munoz's double-gameweek appeal European commitments affect Crystal Palace's lineup this weekend as they prepare for a Conference League semi-final, potentially leading to heavy rotation against Bournemouth. Daniel Munoz, priced as a defender in FPL, has already contributed four goals and three assists. His value will surge with a double-gameweek 36 approaching. ## James Hill's defensive consistency Since James Hill entered Bournemouth's starting XI in gameweek 19, he has produced defensive contributions in 12 of 16 matches. He has also recorded three assists without missing a single minute. Valued at £4m at the season's start, his numbers are exceptional for a defender. Bournemouth are pushing for European qualification with favorable upcoming fixtures. ## Danny Welbeck's Brighton impact Brighton have shown strong recent form and sit sixth in the league with favorable fixtures ahead, including matches against Newcastle, Wolves, and Leeds. Their attack has scored 10 goals in the past five games, often targeting Danny Welbeck. The Seagulls' attacking firepower makes Welbeck a key option for FPL managers. ## Bruno Guimaraes' statistical dominance Before a recent injury, Bruno Guimaraes ranked sixth in Fantasy Premier League points from gameweeks one to 26. He is the most affordable among top scorers, with nine goals, six assists in 23 FPL matches, and 19 bonus points. These stats place him third-highest among midfielders. Newcastle's poor recent form, with only two wins in his last 11 starts, poses a significant concern. ## Morgan Gibbs-White's standout performance Statman Dave's gameweek 34 differential pick Morgan Gibbs-White delivered an inspired choice, scoring 20 FPL points with a goal and assist in Forest's 5-0 win over Sunderland. Statman Dave described it as his favorite pick of the season, praising Forest's early dominance and Gibbs-White's involvement. However, tough upcoming fixtures against Chelsea, Newcastle, Manchester United, and Bournemouth, along with Europa League semi-finals, make him a risky selection now.
