🚨 On Szoboszlai: Initial tests did not reveal any serious injury and it will likely be known in the second half of the week whether he will be available to play against Tottenham

Gameweek 16 Review ✅

Points: 82
Rank Update: 4,971 → 4,057 (+18%)
Chips Left: Triple Captain

A 7th green arrow in a row. I really thought this would be the week I saw red with no Thiago, but Bruno had other ideas. The plan now is to Triple Captain, await the Szoboszlai injury news and probably roll if he’s fine. The team looks well set and I’m liking the two £4.5m forwards structure to differentiate.

🗣️ Andrews on Thiago and Henderson:

'Jordan (Henderson) and Thiago picked up little knocks against Leeds. I don't know [if they'll be available] is the honest answer. They've been with the medics today, and we'll see how they are going into the game.'

Today's Injury Updates:
--------------------------

🔴Bradley and Gakpo could be involved this week, and their return is close.

🔫Havertz could return in as little as a few days, Gabriel still hasn't returned to training. Nothing new on Hincapie.

👿Amorim didn't give a timeframe for Bruno's return, but he's expected out for around a month.

🦅Richards should miss GW18, but is expected back for GW19.

⚫️Nick Pope is expected to be available for selection for Newcastle tonight.

🏡Harry Wilson took a 'big knock', but Silva hopes he can be available, although it looks like a 'wait and see' situation.

Here's my Gameweek 18 team.

Rank: 3,117 🌍
Free Transfers: 5
Transfers: Bruno, Szoboszlai → Cunha, Wirtz
Captain: Haaland
Chips left: None

I used one of my five free transfers early on Bruno to Cunha. I also wanted to avoid starting Minteh in a tough fixture, especially as he would be facing my double defence. While Ekitike is tempting, he’s very expensive, not on penalties, I’m not keen on heavy investment in forwards and he would require two transfers.

With future midfield moves in mind (Bruno, Palmer), I’d rather keep funds there. Szoboszlai to Wirtz uses just one transfer and keeps flexibility, which I value highly. I’ll probably bring Szoboszlai back in next week too via Saka or Wirtz (one week punt). I’ll continue to ignore covering high ownership players until later in the season.

🚨 Gabriel is with the Arsenal squad ahead of tomorrow’s game.

Decision to be made tomorrow if he is on the official match day squad list.

🚨 Chiesa Starts ✅

🚨 Jurrien Timber, Piero Hincapie & Gabriel Magalhaes are with the Arsenal squad on their pre-match walk today. ✅👀
