Jesus made his official debut for Arsenal playing for 83 minutes in the season opener against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. 

It ended in glory for the club following a hard-fought 2-0 win but it was the 'wrong' Gabriel who scored on the night for the Gunners.

Gabriel Martinelli reward his over 1 million owners on FPL when he opened the scoring for Arsenal while Marc Guehi's own goal sealed the win for the Gunners.

It was indeed a disappointing performance and start on FPL for most managers as Jesus managed just one shot throughout the 83 minutes he was on the pitch.

Gabriel Jesus is valued at £8m on FPL but had just one shot in 83 minutes against Palace.

Not only was it disappointing but also heartbreaking which has led to a total of 610 managers selling the 25-year-old, according to the official FPL account.

Jesus went into the game at Selhurst Park as the most owned or selected player for game week one ever in his history of the game with 76.9%.

There was so much optimism following his ridiculous performances in pre-season which saw him score two hat-tricks.

But I guess it was indeed pre-season as the popular saying goes.
