With the two goals for Arsenal in the pre-season friendly matches, Gabriel Jesus (FWD, 7.0m) has made a big dilemma among the Fantasy Premier League managers: is he back on track?

Well, according to the words of the head coach of the Premier League vice champion, Mikel Arteta, maybe, but the Brazil international has proved that he is ‘different’, as per the words from Arteta.

In our article ‘For the brave FPL managers: Top 5 differential captain picks for GW1’, we added exactly Jesus among the options, and the reason was simple—we saw the progress from the Brazil international, so you should think about picking him in your team.
For the brave FPL managers: Top 5 differential captain picks for GW1
Jesus has scored two goals in the pre-season for Arsenal, he is playing as number 9 and looks so sharp, strong, motivated, and with big qualities in his playing, and this statistics from him can change everything in the team selections among the Fantasy Premier League managers in the coming period, before the start of the new season of the Premier League.
Pre-season: Impressive win for Arsenal, Havertz in top form, another goal from Jesus
It’s very hard to have all the premium attacking players, or maybe we should be more correct—it’s a mission imposible, as for sure first picks from Arsenal should be Bukayo Saka (MID, 10.0m), Kai Havertz (FWD, 8.0m), or maybe Martin Odegaard (MID, 8.5m).
So, can Jesus cover their points? It’s possible if he continues with his form, like in the pre-season, and in this moment, we can be sure about his regular role as number 9 in the starting line-up for Arsenal.
In this moment, Jesus is owned by just less than 1.8% of the Fantasy Premier League managers, and we expect that percentage to rise in the coming period.
Last season, he scored only 4 goals and provided 7 assists, but he has a small amount of minutes playing.
Arsenal will open the new season in the Premier League with the match against Wolverhampton at home.
