Let’s look at who are the best Diogo Jota replacements for Gameweek 26 in the Fantasy Premier League.

Best Diogo Jota replacements in FPL

In our order, from the best

1. Saka (9.1m, Arsenal) – if you can afford an upgrade, going for Arsenal midfielder would be our number 1 move
2. Hwang (5.5m, Wolves) – Wolves players are perfect short-term punts, especially for GW26, however they will likely have a blank in GW29. So they are good picks for managers who aim to free hit in GW29
3. Pedro Neto (5.7m, Wolves) – Hwang is the explosive asset, while Pedro Neto is the more reliable pick but with lower points ceiling
4. Douglas Luiz (5.5m, Aston Villa) – a pick for managers who do not have free hit left, or who aim to dead end team into blank GW29, as Aston Villa have a fixture in GW29. They have also a good fixture run until then.
5. Pascal Gross (6.5m, Brighton) – great next 3 fixtures, most nailed Brighton midfielder, reliable and proven FPL asset, but likely blank in GW29 (so good pick for those who will free hit in GW29 or wildcard before). On penalties while Joao Pedro is out.
6. Adingra (5m, Brighton) – budget enabler, brought good form from AFCON (1G + 2A) to the Premier League, more explosive option than Gross
