FPL GW25: Bruno v Gabriel captaincy call as Arsenal plan for double | OneFootball

The FPL deadline is at 18:30 GMT tonight, and managers face one of the season’s trickiest calls. According to Hounslow Herald, a Liverpool v Manchester City showdown and a confirmed Double Gameweek 26 for Arsenal and Wolves have sent transfers into overdrive.

Erling Haaland is not the default armband. One goal in his last four and a trip to Anfield, where he has struggled, have shifted attention towards Bruno Fernandes and Gabriel, as flagged by Scout and AI models.

Fernandes, the most-bought midfielder this week, operates in Michael Carrick’s rejuvenated system and meets a Tottenham back line hit by injuries. He leads the league for big chances created and has posted double-digit returns in his last two home matches.

Gabriel’s appeal is boosted by the new defensive contribution bonus rewarding dominant centre-backs. With Sunderland visiting and a confirmed double next week, he carries clean-sheet odds and set-piece threat.

Bukayo Saka is out for three to four weeks with a muscular strain, leaving over 12% searching for cover. Declan Rice offers a safe route into Arsenal and is expected to assume full set-piece duties. Enzo Fernández has four goals in six and faces bottom-of-the-table Wolves, while Jarrod Bowen now takes West Ham penalties against a Burnley defence ranking 20th by most metrics.
