Sunderland Vs Arsenal FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Sunderland 0–2 Arsenal: Raya takes 14, Havertz blanks David Raya scored 14 points at the Stadium of Light on 12 September. Two saves, a clean sheet, maximum bonus. He costs £6.0m. About 4 in 10 managers own him. They banked.
The clean sheet paid down the Arsenal back line. Gabriel took 9 points — the shutout, 2 bonus, 11 defensive contributions, one yellow. He is £8.0m and owned by about 2 in 10. Konsa (£4.5m) and Calafiori (£5.8m) took 6 each. Calafiori sits in roughly half of all squads. Nobody in that group needs moving.
The goals came from midfield. Bruno Guimarães scored, played 45 minutes and finished with 8 points including 2 bonus. He is £6.8m and owned by hardly anyone — fewer than 1 in 10. Forty-five minutes is the number that matters there. Saka also scored: 90 minutes, 8 points, no bonus, £9.5m, owned by about 1 in 10. Rice supplied an assist in 80 minutes for 6 points at £7.4m.
The blank belongs to Kai Havertz. Ninety minutes, no goal, no assist, a yellow card, 1 point. He costs £7.5m and sits in about 1 in 10 squads. His side scored twice and kept a clean sheet; he returned nothing. That is now the line his owners must weigh at the deadline.
One more minutes note: Zubimendi and Eze played 9 minutes each, Merino 5. Ødegaard went 84 for 3 points. On the Sunderland side, Xhaka played 90, made 12 defensive contributions and took a yellow for 3 points. Brobbey played 90 for 1 point.
The calls the facts force. Raya owners start him — a 14-point keeper at £6.0m who played every minute does not sit. Gabriel and Calafiori owners hold. Saka owners hold; he scored and played 90. Bruno Guimarães is a watch, not a buy, until the minutes settle. Havertz played 90 and returned 1 — his owners hold him this week and move only if the blanks repeat. The buy is Raya at £6.0m.
