These picks cover every type of FPL manager — whether you prefer to play it safe with the crowd or chase early gains with a differential.
Gabriel’s 129 FPL points this season puts him 12 points clear of second-placed Chalobah (117) among defenders, while only B. Fernandes (131), Semenyo (137) and Haaland (171) have accumulated more points overall.

Arsenal have conceded just eight goals at the Emirates this season (best in the league) and have kept six clean sheets, also the most. The Gunners rank top for shots in the box conceded (47) and 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) (9.11) in home matches.
Their visitors Sunderland have scored just six times on their travels — only Wolves (five) have fared worse. The Black Cats rank 18th for shots in the box (63) and 17th for xG (12.25) in away games, which bodes well for the prospects of an Arsenal clean sheet.
