FPL Top Picks from Arsenal

In this article we pick out the FPL top picks from Arsenal. Using tools like the fixture difficulty ticker and underlying stats from the Fantasy Football Scout members area we can provide the best Arsenal players to buy in each position.

Going through the FPL top picks from Arsenal can be extremely helpful for the period ahead. The Arsenal fixtures are great long-term and they are having a good campaign overall so investing in them could be hugely beneficial for fantasy managers.

The Arsenal Fixtures

As we can see Arsenal sit sixth on the fixture ticker for the next six Gameweeks. In that period they face meetings with Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, West Ham, Burnley, Newcastle and Sheffield United.

The Arsenal Defence

Arsenal have been very impressive this season again and a large contributing factor towards that is their strength in defence. In fact, when compared to all other teams this season they rank:

Second best for goals conceded
Joint best for clean sheets kept
First for expected goals conceded
The best for shots on target conceded
Second best for shots in the box conceded
The best for big chances total conceded

The Best Defenders to Buy

Here we compare all of the Arsenal defenders in terms of minutes and attacking potential.

We can see that when it comes to gametime centre-back William Saliba (£5.6m) leads the way. The Frenchman sits at the top of the pile for minutes played and starts. Behind him is right-back Ben White (£5.6m). He just edges centre-back Gabriel (£5m) for minutes played and starts.

Below we can see how the Arsenal defenders compare in terms of attacking threat.

Full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.2m) sits first for non-penalty expected goal involvement. He is closely followed by Ben White. Of the centre-backs William Saliba just edges Gabriel.

The standout option seems to be William Saliba who is the safest in terms of minutes and has some attacking threat. Ben White could be another great option with his minutes and non-penalty expected goal involvement.

For managers looking to spend a little less than the options above then Gabriel is starting every match in the league recently and has some attacking threat.

The Arsenal Attack

Arsenal are also a very effective team in terms of offensive ability. So far this season they sit:

Sixth for goals scored
Sixth for expected goals scored
Fourth for total attempts on goal
Second for shots in the box
Sixth for big chances total
Seventh for shots on target

The Best Attackers to Buy

We now compare the gametime and attacking data of the Arsenal attackers.

In terms of gametime Bukayo Saka (£9.1m) leads the way for minutes played and starts. Fellow midfielder Martin Odegaard (£8.5m) started 17 matches like Gabriel Martinelli (£7.7m) but the former player more minutes.

As you can see, we now compare the attacking data of the same players.

Bukayo Saka again edges every other player. He has accumulated a non-penalty expected goal involvement of 11.84, but also takes his sides penalties. Martin Odegaard sits second again (6.73). Striker Gabriel Jesus (£8m) sits third with 6.26 non-penalty expected goal involvement.
