            <p><strong>Gabriel Magalhaes (£5.0m) </strong>has been named on the Arsenal bench for the first two gameweeks, with the defender delivering back-to-back 1 pointers, and many fantasy managers could now be considering transfer action.</p>
<p>We cover all the latest on Gabriel, including whether or not you should sell the Brazilian, and the best options to replace him.</p>

<h2>What is the latest on Gabriel?</h2>
<p>Gabriel was a shock absence from the Arsenal side to face Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 1, and it was the same story again when the Gunners travelled to Crystal Palace in Gameweek 2.</p>
<p>This leaves his FPL owners in a tricky situation, with strugglers Fulham at home up next for Arsenal, making the Brazilian a tough sell.</p>
<p>Whether or not Gabriel comes back into the team in Gameweek 3 remains to be seen, but following the injury to <strong>Jurrien</strong> <strong>Timber (£4.8m) </strong>he may be in line for increased minutes going forward.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57215" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-14.38.56.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="646" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Should I sell Gabriel in FPL?</h2>
<p>Based on everything we know, it now looks like Gabriel's minutes may not be entirely assured for the duration of the season.</p>
<p>Whilst he played all 38 Premier League games in 2022/23, this time around it looks to be a different story for Mikel Arteta's side.</p>
<p>Not only do Arsenal now have Champions League football to contend with, but they've also strengthened at centre-back, and it's clear now that the Brazilian is by no means immune from rotation.</p>
<div id="attachment_57229" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-57229" class="size-large wp-image-57229" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-15.12.54-1024x587.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="587" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-57229" class="wp-caption-text">Arsenal have plenty of options in central defence this season.</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mikel Arteta alluded to this in his recent press conference, perhaps making a reference to Gabriel's physical strength and aerial domination being suited to specific opponents, compared with the pace and agility of the likes of <strong>Ben White (£5.5m)</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"There are certain things a squad has to have to be successful and win, and be consistently the very best. Different profiles are needed. Sometimes we have to be very physical and we are capable of doing that. "</p>
</blockquote>
<p>At £5.0m, you generally want a player who is assured of starts - Manchester City aside - or one who has high attacking upside. Right now, we can't say for certain that Gabriel is first choice, and while this may of course change very quickly, selling him opens up plenty of interesting options to move for in defence.</p>
<p>It's a transfer that could be worth making sooner rather than later, with a price drop almost certainly looming for Gabriel - keep an eye on the latest price change predictions, <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-price-rises">here</a>.</p>
