Arsenal Assets: The Triple Up? With the fixtures now turning for potential title contenders Arsenal, a lot of managers have already made moves to get their players. Here’s who we are considering from Arsenal

Raya At 5.6m, he is among the most consistent GK options in the game. He already has 3 CS, and 15 saves so far this season with 3 bonus points too.

Gabriel Another top option, he is priced at 6.2m, but has already notched up 3 CS and a goal along with strong defensive numbers. He averages 9 DEFCON per 90 too. Nailed to start, he’d be the first defender on our team sheet! West Ham are prone to corners as well.

The third option is where the debate lies, and we’re in favour of tripling up on the defence, rather than adding an attacker like Saka or Gyokeres, purely because of the heavy rotation we’re seeing at the moment in the offensive areas.

Timber With 4 shots on target, an xG of 1.7, 8 chances created out of which 2 were big chances, his xA stands at 0.4 and an average DEFCON of 8 per 90, making him strong in both areas of the pitch.

Reijnders vs Anthony With FPL managers looking to find a midfield option that can consistently deliver amidst even tough fixtures, a few choices have emerged and the most popular among them are Reijnders and Anthony

Reijnders started off the season in blistering fashion and then had a lean patch of form. He returned against Arsenal, and with City’s upcoming fixture run, this midfield gem at 5.8m is surely worth holding, if you already had him.

Anthony has been Burnley’s breakout star with only two blanks so far this season, and is already on 5 G+A for the season. Despite Burnley’s results, he continues to stand out, with regular returns which makes him an interesting differential option

While Anthony is indeed a punt to be considered, we’re inclining towards the tried and tested approach of going for a player from a bigger team with the better fixtures, and would opt for Reijnders

Livramento replacements: Timber looks like the ideal replacement: 3 clean sheets, best xGC defence in the league, 5 bonus points already, plus an attacking threat. With 4 of the next 5 vs bottom 8 xG teams and just 14.6% ownership, he’s differential too.

Senesi is top for points among defenders, a Defcon monster, and also leads all defenders for bonus points. With 2 assists and Bournemouth’s defence ranking Top 3 for xGC, he offers clean sheets plus attacking upside at a bargain price (has returned in every game so far)

Burn (6.5% owned) is a like-for-like Livramento replacement with nailed xMins. He’s already racked up 6 Defcon points, while Newcastle boast the most clean sheets (4) and the 2nd-best xGC, making him a solid differential pick.

Bowen vs Joao Pedro Forwards that return constantly is a blessing but we’ve not had many of those this season so far. In the light of recent events and upcoming fixtures, there’s a case to choose between one amongst Bowen or Joao Pedro. Here’s what we think:

Joao Pedro continues to be the most-owned player in the game but Chelsea’s dip in form with back-to-back defeats and a tough game vs LIV in GW7 makes it a difficult decision on whether to keep or get rid of him.

Bowen, on the other hand, has returned in back-to-back games and is already the 3rd most scoring forward as it stands. Just owned by 6.3% owners, his value as a differential assets could be crucial in the upcoming weeks.

We back Bowen to take advantage of West Ham’s new manager bounce and get some favourable hauls in the coming GWs as they come up against the likes of BRE, LEE, NEW and BUR. If we were to buy a forward from these two this GW, it’d surely be Bowen

Gakpo Replacements: Semenyo: Semenyo is the breakout mid of the season: 4 goals, 2 assists, top for midfielder points, and top 3 for xGI. Next 3 fixtures are against teams with just 1 clean sheet combined. At his price, why don’t you already own him?

Sarr is back: 2 goals in 3 before injury and a goal on return. Owned by just 4.1%, he’s top 5 mids for xGI despite fewer games. Palace rank top 3 for xGi, making him a powerful differential in an in-form attack.

Gordon? Yessss sir. Back into the team after his injury and back to his best. He is on penalties as well. While we see him as a great asset, his mins remain a worry and hence he will be our third choice.

One Week Punts: With just 6.2% ownership, Saka is a huge one-week punt. Fresh off a UCL goal and brimming with confidence, he faces West Ham, the league’s leakiest defence (14 conceded). A low-owned explosive pick for GW7.

Sarr, 4.1% owned, is a another one-week punt. Back from injury with a goal, he faces an Everton side without a clean sheet in their last 3 games across competitions. Palace’s top 3 xG attack makes him a dangerous low-owned option.

Doku is City’s 2nd-highest point scorer, he’s started the last 3 PL games and racked up 4 assists. At just 6.1% ownership, he faces Brentford, a defence that’s conceded 11 so far and sits in the bottom 4 for xGC.

@thefplbois I was thinking Reijnders v Minteh rather than Anthony, for a one week punt. Could actually get to Sarr, but Minteh v Wolves feels promising.

@LNJStokes The zonal analysis also suits Minteh

@thefplbois WC: Choose one A: Pope - Timber - Saka - Bowen B: Raya - Gabriel - Minteh - Isak

@thefplbois Any concerns over Gabriel knock last night? Feels possible Arteta drops him for West Ham as a smoke screen for him not to go on International Duty? Arteta has done similar previously.

@thefplbois Would you Bench boost this?

@thefplbois Would you WC this team? Only used TC

@thefplbois According to this thread you supposed to like this WC7 draft

@thefplbois What about Minteh !?!

@thefplbois Would you get Saka + Woltemade or Eze + Gyokeres?

@thefplbois Who should I take out with my 1FT this gameweek?

@thefplbois Thanks for the thread bro! Current WC GW7 team

@thefplbois Woltemade or JP (on WC7)?

@thefplbois What is your current ranking now?
