FPL GW8 Recap: Arsenal's Defensive Assets To The Rescue; iSoccer Winners

The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek eight saw Gabriel Magalhaes (£7.9m) returned double figures for the first time this season.

The Brazil international netted his first goal of the campaign, kept a clean sheet and also reached the threshold for defensive contributions points and collected the maximum bonus points which earned him 17 points in Arsenal’s 2-0 triumph over Everton.

The clash at the Emirates also saw the Gunners kept two successive clean sheets for the first since GW2 when they defeated Aston Villa 2-0 following an emphatic 5-0 rout of newly-promoted Coventry City in the season opener.

Gabriel’s defensive teammates, Ezri Konsa (£4.7) and Ben White (£5.4m) also recorded double-digits after the former also scored, kept a clean sheet and claimed two bonus points to collect 14 points, while the latter earned 10 points following an assist, a clean sheet and clinched one BP.

Liverpool defender, Ronald Araujo (£5.4m) plundered his first double-figure haul in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Aston Villa ace, Nicolas Jackson (£6.7m) was on red-hot form when the Villans entertained league leaders, Manchester City at the Villa Park.

The 25-year-old Senegalese star scored a brace and claimed the three bonus points which earned him 13 points, his first double-figure haul since the 2024/25 campaign.

Bournemouth midfielder, Marcus Tavernier (£6.3m) is silently making the headlines this season and Manchester United were his latest victims this GW.

The 27-year-old earned 10 points following a goal and two points in the Cherries’ 3-0 win away at United.

He now has four double-figure hauls so far after claiming such in GW1, 3 and 7.
