Mikel Arteta has not given sufficient clarity over David Raya's availability, giving managers chances to make one key change that can save them money to ivest into other areas.

As we approach another thrilling weekend of Premier League action, one player who should be on every Fantasy Premier League manager's radar is Chelsea stopper Robert Sanchez.

With uncertainty surrounding David Raya’s availability for Arsenal's match against Leicester City, Sanchez emerges as a compelling alternative, especially given his recent form and Chelsea’s double clean sheet.

Sanchez has been impressive since joining Chelsea, and his high point returns in recent matches have made him a hot commodity.

Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea appears to have regained their rhythm, blending a solid defensive structure with an attacking flair. The Blues have showcased both discipline at the back and creativity going forward, making them a formidable force.

This weekend, Chelsea will face Brighton at Stamford Bridge, a matchup that presents both opportunity and intrigue. Brighton, while competitive, may struggle against a Chelsea side that seems to be clicking on all fronts.

With Sanchez in goal, you can expect not just the potential for another clean sheet, but also significant save points, given his ability to deal with pressure.

Moreover, Mikel Arteta has been somewhat ambiguous regarding Raya's fitness, creating further doubt about the Arsenal keeper's availability.

With the Premier League's fast-paced nature, having a reliable alternative like Sanchez could be the strategic play that enhances your fantasy squad's performance.

If you're looking for a smart transfer this weekend, Robert Sanchez offers an enticing combination of form, a favourable fixture, and security as an alternative to the uncertain Raya.

Acquiring him would also save you on cash you can use on other areas of the field. Robert Sanchez's 4.7m price tag is 0.9M less than David Raya. This could give you that little bit of edge you might need to sign other top players.

With Chelsea's resurgence, jumping on Sanchez now could yield significant dividends as the season progresses. Don't miss out on this opportunity to bolster your Fantasy Premier League lineup!
