Gabriel vs. Dúbravka

Final Verdict: Gabriel

Gabriel is the clear winner due to his superior form, attacking threat, and Arsenal's stronger defensive prospects, making him a much better FPL asset right now.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Availability & Risk: Both players are fully available and have no injury news, so this isn't a factor.
Form: Gabriel is in red-hot form with an average of 6.2 points, including recent hauls of 15, 9, and 6 points. Dúbravka's form is a meagre 3.8, with recent returns of 3, 1, and 2 points. Gabriel wins this hands down.
Fixtures: Gabriel's Arsenal face Nottingham Forest (A), Man Utd (H), and Leeds (A) – all rated difficulty 3. Dúbravka's Burnley have a tough trip to Liverpool (A, difficulty 4) next, followed by Spurs (H, difficulty 3). Gabriel has the kinder run.
Value: Gabriel, at 6.7m, offers a fantastic 16.72 points per million, significantly better than Dúbravka's 15.75 at 4.0m. Gabriel's higher price is justified by his much higher ceiling and consistent returns.
Underlying Stats: Gabriel boasts impressive attacking stats for a defender (3 goals, 2 assists, 158.0 threat, 73.0 creativity) alongside 9 clean sheets. Dúbravka, as a goalkeeper, has higher influence from saves but only 3 clean sheets and no attacking returns. Gabriel's expected points for next Gameweek (7.2) dwarf Dúbravka's (3.3).

The Deciding Factor

Gabriel's exceptional recent form and Arsenal's strong defensive unit, coupled with his attacking threat, make him a far superior FPL option compared to Dúbravka, who plays for a struggling Burnley side with a tough fixture ahead.
