This evening we roll out the final article in our three-part series assessing the stand-out attacking statistics over the first three Gameweeks. Having cast our analytical eye over the Defenders and Midfielders, we turn our attentions up front.

        Almost forgot, I like the bold triple-down on Arsenal with Ozil-Walcott-Giroud. Think you'll do well with that for the season, though may have some weaker weeks when Arsenal underperform. However, all that matters is your total at the end of the season, and think that tripling will do you good. Not many other teams have so many obvious FPL point scores so obviously nailed on week in and week out.

      Nice team. Take out one of your Arsenal 3 as they'll all split the one attacking points shareout and get a player who'll get a bigger haul of attacking points in another team, like Ozil/Walcott to Michu or Giroud to Lukaku/Lambert.

          He's not been great so far, assis last game leads me to believe he'll get back to form. I'm not saying him specifically, just someone likely to get a big points haul in a team with less attacking intent than Arsenal. Don't forget the likes of Ramsey, Cazorla, Arteta, Wilshere and Rosicky will also be getting gametime and they'll get some attacking points which will chip away at Ozil, Walcott and Giroud's points.

          If either of Michu, Sessegnon or Ben Arfa hit top form they're likely to clean up as the only decent midfield attacking options in their team. Some others forwards will emerge as the season progresses and take a decent haul. Lambert, Lukaku look likely, possibly Anichebe.

        I don't actually get the diversification point.

        The overwhelming majority of Arsenal goals will have one of Ozil/Walcott/Giroud on the assist and one on the goal. So, for what is likely one of the three highest scoring teams in the league this season, you can capture 70% or so of all assists and goals on the team. You can't do that with ManU, ManC, or Chelsea.

        You can't know who will get the goals and assists every week, but tripling up is a heck of a way to get in on a lot of points.
