Arsenal assets have been template picks all season, but with a perhaps slight drop off in performance recently, and tough fixtures ahead, is it worth considering selling some of them?
Before we begin, let’s take a look at some stats from Arsenal’s last 6 PL games.
🛡️Arsenal defence (last 6 PL games):
Goals conceded: 9 – (1.5 per game)
xG conceded: 9.35 – (1.56 per game)
📊Martinelli vs Odegaard vs Saka (last 6 PL games):
Goals: 4 vs 3 vs 3
Assists: 3 vs 1 vs 2
xG: 2.0 vs 1.6 vs 1.6
xGI: 4.2 vs 2.7 vs 2.9
FPL points: 47 vs 34 vs 36
Assuming that Salah & Trent are locked in in most FH teams, picking Robertson means a defensive double-up. That in itself is fine, Liverpool have a 54% chance of a CS, but the fixture (NFO) screams goals, so there could be more upside in attackers.
Diogo Jota is back from injury and returned a 16-pointer (2 G, 1 A) vs Leeds. The upside with him is very, very high but the main issue is that he’s a minutes risk and could get benched/taken off early for Darwin Nunez. He also takes one of the three valuable forward spots.
