FPL talking point: Double up on Arsenal defenders

The Arsenal triple up feels obvious and owning at least two of their defensive assets is essential right now.

The Gunners host Sunderland and then have a double gameweek of Brentford and Wolves next week.

Very few, if any, of their attackers will get 270 minutes over the three games and those that own the injured Bukayo Saka should make the switch to 90-minute man Declan Rice without hesitation.

Triple Arsenal defence is also an option with Gabriel, Jurrien Timber and goalkeeper David Raya a high risk, high reward play.

Elsewhere, midfielder Enzo Fernandez has four goals, one assist in his past six league games and has become Chelsea’s most reliable asset.

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has averaged eight points a game since Ruben Amorim left Old Trafford and now playing back in his natural number 10 position, he’s become a must have FPL asset once again.

Attacking returns feel as likely as ever and with penalties, free kicks, corners, a 90-minute guarantee and a good chance of defensive contribution, he has more routes to points than virtually any other player in the game.
