Timber produces third-biggest single Gameweek defender score in FPL

Arsenal full-back registers 24 points in 5-0 thrashing of Leeds and is Triple-Captained by 15 managers

Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber (£5.5m) enjoyed a memorable day by producing the joint-third biggest single Gameweek defender score in Fantasy Premier League history.

Timber registered two goals, an assist, a clean sheet and maximum bonus for a whopping 24-point return in the Gunners' 5-0 win against Leeds United.

That has only been bettered in a single Gameweek, where a player has just one fixture in a Gameweek, among defenders by John Arne Riise for Liverpool against West Bromwich Albion in 2004/05 and Steve Watson for Everton versus Leeds in 2003/04, who both racked up 27 points.

Timber's haul matches the 24 points that Trent Alexander-Arnold managed against Leicester City in 2019/20.
