Arsenal stars reign supreme in FPL
The latest impressive defensive display has not gone unnoticed by FPL managers, who have been quick to capitalise on the Gunners' backline assets.
According to the FPL Scout, Arsenal defenders Ben White (£5.7m), William Saliba (£5.8m), and Gabriel Magalhaes (£5.3m) have now amassed a remarkable 353 points between them, occupying the top three spots in the Fantasy defender standings.

Arsenal's defensive trio have been a revelation this season, with their ability to keep clean sheets, combined with a remarkable attacking threat making them must-have assets in the game.
White, Saliba, and Gabriel have all been integral to Arsenal's impressive campaign so far, which saw them top the Premier League table for several weeks.

However, the draw at the Etihad ensured the Gunners relinquished their position as league leaders, with Liverpool now sitting two points clear at the summit after their 2-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.
Despite the setback, Arsenal fans and FPL managers alike will be encouraged by the team's resilience and defensive solidity, which remains a key factor in their success so far.

The Gunners' next challenge will be to maintain their defensive form as they look to regain their place at the top of the table and in the title run-in.
With nine matches left to play, it will be interesting to see if Arteta and his Gunners will sustain their title challenge this time after the collapse last season.
)
For now, though, the FPL community will be closely monitoring the performances of White, Saliba, and Gabriel, as they continue to be the backbone of a team that has impressed many this season.
