Monitor – Gabriel Jesus

Just three Gameweeks now stand between Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers and the long, dark teatime of the soul that is the summer break.

Yet with mini-league titles still to settle and another Double Gameweek on the horizon, difficult line-up decisions continue to present themselves. After a pair of red-hot Gameweeks across which his Man City side have racked up an impressive eight goals, Gabriel Jesus has firmly inserted himself into the Fantasy conversation and summarily dismantled the Wildcard template frontline of a Harry Kane – Romelu Lukaku/Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Jamie Vardy triumvirate.

With goals in each of his last three starts, should Jesus displace one of his fellow heavy-hitters within our frontlines? And how much should we consider sacrificing to ensure we have the Brazilian on board?

In this latest Monitor article for members, we will be breaking down the striker’s season, recent form, and evaluating his potential over the final handful of games versus altnernative targets in the Man City squad.

      That's a red arrow unless you captain one every week.

      No. Wants an excuse to rest them and get hammered on Sunday.

    How's my wildcard team looking?
    Hennessey - (4m)
    Bavies - Dummett - Lowton - (Chilwell) - (Bednarek)
    Salah - Sterling - Sane - Arnie - (Kenedy)
    Kane - Jesus - Vardy

    Any changes you would make?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 hours ago

      ill be honest, id be more attracted by jayew than vardy. frees up funds elsewhere.
      also would want either fabianski or a swans def.

      Bailly, Mahrez & Willian ➡️
      Mawson, Sterling & Arnie

      I hope to God the new manager arrived and demotes Xhaka and Iwobi to the reserves

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 15 hours ago

        And Mustafi. And Koscielny.

        1. Rainer

        Xhaka = middle of the road player who does not add anything offensively or defensively.
        Iwobi and Welbeck = physical players who have little technical skill
        Mustafi = defender who doesn't like defending

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 15 hours ago

        Feck that. Just sell Xhaka. And Mustafi

            of course i get it lol.

            don't understand the continued hate towards wenger when he was at no fault for that goal. koscielny and especially mustafi god awful

              His fault for having them in the team. Why pick a player who is going to make that mistake?

                • 13 Years
                6 years, 15 hours ago

                In all seriousness though he continues to pick Mustafi. That can't be defended...

              2. Top Lad Dakes.
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 15 hours ago

                Granted. But do they have many other choices 😀

            2. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 15 hours ago

              As I said. A manager sets a tone. Look at the tone Simeone sets for Atletico. Compare that to the one Wenger gives to Arsenal. A football team takes on the personality of a manager.

              1. Top Lad Dakes.
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 15 hours ago

                yep, of course. I agree

                but my point still remains, I doubt wenger is alright with the defending there

                1. diesel001
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 15 hours ago

                  Then he should do something about it. Drop them. Coach shape and positioning like Pulis and Hodgson. Except he doesn't.

                  1. Top Lad Dakes.
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 15 hours ago

          i know that you knob.
          my point was that he'd be useful to them in a game like that if he was able to play

    9. Mackans

      What option is the best for DGW 37??

      A: Alonso, Mahrez & Murray -> VDH, Arnie & Jesus (-4)

      B: Alonso, Mahrez, Vardy & Murray-> Smalling, Sterling, Jesus & J.Ayew (-8)

      1. MTPockets
          6 years, 15 hours ago

          A b/c doubt Ayew's worth a hit.

        • Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years

          a this week but id want jayew for the double

      2. Stevie B
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 15 hours ago

        Why do people think that Sterling will not play the full game. He had a full week to rest.

        1. MTPockets
            6 years, 15 hours ago

            Pep

            1. MTPockets
                6 years, 15 hours ago

                Although I've got him in b/c think he'll keep playing. Was subbed after about 70 mins.

            2. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 15 hours ago

              Think he was pictured wearing a bib in training.

              Pure speculation and overthinking Pep's lineups when you can never second-guess him.

            Is there somewhere I can get a history of FPL scores from last season?

            I need to prove to someone that kane did not score 7 in one double gameweek. (He scored 5: 1 vs man u, 4 vs Leicester)

            When you've been at a club for 22 years every mistake on the pitch is your fault.

            Every player at the club was carefully selected by Wenger to represent Arsenal and challenge for titles. He chose poorly.

                  hmm maybe, Bournemouth have been sub par this season. I don't want to say it, but our manager (Jokanovic) would suit Arsenal's style of play perfectly

                i was saying to friends for the last few years he'd be a great long term successor... but I think he's better going in once removed... i.e. get in a big name no nonsense manager for 2 or 3 years & then Howe take charge. they need a shake up

              Ancelotti with Bergkamp or Henry as assistant.

                I like this
                But think Ancelotti will chose his assistants and it wont be H or B

                Yeah, he's won multiple Champion's League titles. Arsenal need that quality.

              Aight whatever lol.

              'tis the jokers on rn. I agree with some of the speculation it should be a former player. but should be one with at least some experience, obviously. arteta might be good

                Arteta doesn’t look like a manager to me. I doubt he’s even in charge at home.

                saw Arteta & Vieira linked... I'm sure both would be great given time but I dunno are they right for now

              Three points in it in my mini league. Can only afford one of Kane or Jesus. Go template choice or slightly-less-template choice?

                I would go Jesus, but not having Kane for 37 would make me more nervous than missing him for 36. Still yet to get some form in as of late

              Opinions? Thx for suggestions!
              De Gea
              Cedric - Tarkowski - Lowton
              Salah - Mahrez - Son - Willian
              Kane - Vardy - Barnes
              (Ryan / Groß / Morgan / Bailly)

              A) Save FT for DGW
              B) Willian to Arnie
              C) Mahrez to Sterling
              D) Salah and Groß to Sterling and Arnie(-4)
              Salah to Sterling/Eriksen if he doesn’t play?

              Only Arsenal could be undone by a hoof up field playing against 10 men.

              Only Wenger would make zero subs.

              Bizarre.

              Sorry for the long post...trying to plan for the run in. Any input is appreciated 😀

              DDG (Ryan)
              Bailly-Lowton-Christensen (VdH-Morgan)
              Son-Alli-Mahrez-Willian (Kennedy)
              Kane-Lukaku (Barnes)

              1Ft, 0.0ITB

              Plan is this..
              GW 36: Kaku, Mahrez, Christensen -> Jesus, Sterling, Smalling (-8, 0.7ITB)
              GW 37: Bailly -> Cedric (or any def under 5.0)
              GW 38: Alli -> Salah

              Does it look ok, or complete bonkers?

              Think I'm going to save my ft here - and reassess for dgw37.

              0itb

              Ddg (ryan)
              Vert tarko lowton (Alonso morgan)
              Salah mahrez Willian mili (gros)
              Kane lukaku Barnes

              Going to refrain from lukaku to jesus as arsenal will play weakened team at united.

              Sound sensible to save and reassess? Thanks
