‘Who doesn’t have Gabriel Jesus in FPL?’ – Fans react to Arsenal star’s record-breaking feat
Arsenal’s summer signing, Gabriel Jesus becomes the most picked player in Fantasy Premier League history ahead of the 2022-23 Premier League season opener on Friday.
Jesus moved to the Emirates Stadium from Manchester City in July and he has been selected by 75 percent of Fantasy Premier League users in their teams.
The Brazilian had an impressive pre-season outing with seven goals in five games for the Gunners and many fans are rooting for him to power their teams with his goals when the English top-flight starts on Friday night with Mikel Arteta’s men facing Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Meanwhile, a section of the fans believe Jesus’ presence alone is not enough to guarantee their teams’ success if the defence is weak.
It’s more like if your backline doesn’t have one of either James, Cancelo or Trent you ain’t ready for the new EPL season. 😂😂😂😂
I see Gabriel Jesus in every attack too— Ken Austine Izibenifien (@izibenifienn) August 5, 2022
Gabriel Jesus played under Pep and he wasn’t Premier League striker Quality. In fact it was regarded that Pep had no striker but now that he’s playing under Arteta and Arsenal, everyone suddenly thinks he’ll score a lot.
Lmaoo you go too learn
