        Wow, just seen his last 4 seasons' worth of data - never dropping below 142 points, career high of 188 points from last season, averaging 157.25 points over those 4 seasons is genuinely elite-level returns. Do you think he's a better pick than Morgan Rogers then?!

      Should get good minutes until Bradley is back. Better options at that price though with a few Arsenal options to choose from. VVD/Jacquet probably the ones to get from pool. So in conclusion, not a bad pick at all but depends on what the rest of the defence looks like

    4. Dutchy FPL
      • 3 Years

      Nahh. For that price I think you need meer than his assist threat. He has no Defcon potential, Liverpool is a wait and see defensively, and last years he is not really a goal scorer. Better Defcon and attacking options at 5M, which saves you the 0.5 (N. Williams, Maguire, Vuskovic, Muharemovic) and at 5.5M also better options (Calafiori, White, maybe even Collins, and longer term Porro and Munoz)

      Since he came back last season he was involved in 71% of Arsenal's big chances when on the field and 50% of goal scored

      Agreed. Don’t think White loses out to Mosquera or Konsa until Timber’s back. Calafiori is more attacking and Hincapie could come in at any time without warning but seems to be first choice so should be fairly nailed until Europe starts

Gives me Maguire over Shaw, will play 4 times for me before WC6, probably gets more additional points in those 4 weeks than Verb's 2 pointer this week.

      Also Truffert is a bit expensive when GW2 is his only decent fixture. Probably better off going with a second Arsenal defender at the same price

        O9 is an utter defensive liability

    Konsa moving to Arsenal already leans towards a better bench boost opportunity later in the season

        He did not move to Arsenal to sit on the bench. At least not before Saliba is fit again. Nor would arsenal pay that much to have him sit on the bench.

        for some reason Im not a fan of DCL - I thought his record (until the very end of last season) was mediocre... is there a change in form?

    Arsenal: "Since the start of 2023/24, we have won 17 of our 18 Premier League games against promoted sides, with the exception of a 2-2 draw at Sunderland last season. At home, we are unbeaten in 45 Premier League home games against promoted sides, the longest such run by any team in the competition’s history (W40 D5)."
