The FPL story is the shut-out. Arsenal kept the clean sheet and six of their players returned.
Konsa took the headline numbers: 90 minutes, five defensive contributions, 3 bonus, 9 points. He costs £4.6m and is owned by 17.5% of managers. Raya matched him — 2 saves, 3 bonus, 9 points at £6.1m, owned by 43.9% of managers. Gabriel made 12 defensive contributions for 8 points at £7.9m, owned by 21.1% of managers. Rice supplied the assist on the goal and added a bonus point for 7 at £7.3m, owned by 10.9% of managers. Calafiori — owned by 53.4% of managers, the most-held name in this match — played 90 and banked 6. White got 6 from 65 minutes; he is owned by 4.3% of managers at £5.4m.
Two Arsenal players came off after 24 minutes: Merino and J.Timber, 1 point each. Ownership sits at 0.4% and 0.7%. The club has said nothing on either. Until it does, that is the full record.
Forest's return was thin. Schlager made 13 defensive contributions across 90 minutes for 4 points. N.Williams, owned by 6.3% of managers, took a yellow card and 3 points. Kalimuendo and Hudson-Odoi came off with 1 point apiece. Nobody in red hauled.
What the deadline asks. Calafiori owners hold and start — 90 minutes, a clean sheet, 6 points is the record. Raya owners the same. Konsa, at £4.6m, just produced 9 points on a full shift; owners start him. Madueke scored, but 45 minutes is 45 minutes, and 0.2% of managers hold him — the facts do not force a move there. Merino and J.Timber played 24 minutes each with no explanation on record; nobody starts an unexplained 24-minute player.
The call: hold and start the Arsenal defence you own. Konsa, Raya, Gabriel, Calafiori all go in your XI. Do not buy Madueke on one goal and one half.
