Fantasy Premier League is back! The Premier League kicks off on Friday 11th August and the following day Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in the early kick-off.

Arsenal have a very strong set of opening fixtures from a Fantasy Premier League perspective and only being allowed to select 3 of their players is hard. 

Luckily, we’re here with some FPL Tips to help you decide which Arsenal players you should select for your team. 

The 5 Best Arsenal Players For FPL 2023-24

As part of our Guide To FPL 2023-24, here are our top 5 Arsenal player picks for Fantasy Premier League. 

Aaron Ramsdale (£5.0)

At just 5.0, he seems to be underpriced when you consider the likes of José Sá cost just as much as him, despite Arsenal being the best defence in the league in terms of xGA. 

However, you might be better off with their outfield players as his ceiling is comparatively much lower, averaging just 2.47 saves/90. 

That said, if you are looking for a route into the Arsenal defence then Ramsdale is a simple and rotation-proof route, unlike their defenders who may be prone to rotation now that Arsenal have signed Jurrien Timber.

Gabriel (£5.0)

Many were surprised to see him priced at 5.0 for good reason. Last season, no defender racked up as much as his 5.03 xG, with only Fabian Schär coming anywhere close. 

A menace from set pieces, he tops Zinchenko in both xG/90 with his 0.14 to Zinchenko’s 0.06, and should be more nailed as both Jakub Kiwior and Jurrien Timber look to take over Zinchenko’s inverted wing back role. 

He provides good defensive coverage as Arsenal have a sublime run of early fixtures, facing five of last seven’s weakest attacks in terms of xG over their opening seven and is arguably the best 5.0 defender in the game.

Gabriel Jesus (£8.0)

At 8.0, he is yet another seemingly underpriced Arsenal asset when you look closer at his data. With 0.76 npxGI/90, he had the fourth highest npxGI/90 among regularly starting forwards which is certainly strong at his price tag. 

Whilst he now faces completion from Havertz, Nketiah, Balogun and Trossard at striker, he should still be the starting striker for Arsenal and if he can avoid injury he’ll once again be a great pick, being a somewhat more obvious forward option for gameweek one when there aren’t too many stand out forwards this season.

Gabriel Martinelli (£8.0)

Perhaps slightly overlooked being the least owned of the starting Arsenal attackers, Martinelli comes in at £8.0m which is cheaper than the likes of Martin Ødegaard despite having slightly better data with 0.59 npxGI/90 compared to Ødegaard’s 0.53 npxGI/90. 

Whilst he may not be as hot on expected minutes with the likes of Leandro Trossard fresh on the bench, he is the starting left winger nonetheless and should play 80+ minutes a game of not the full 90. 

Scoring the most non-penalty goals of all the Arsenal attackers, at a modest 15% ownership he could prove to be a safer option for managers looking for an edge over other FPL managers.

Bukayo Saka (£8.5)

Surprisingly, his data is the worst of all the Arsenal attackers at 0.50 npxGI/90. However, this doesn’t mean he was somewhat obviously underpriced at £8.5m. 

He is the likeliest for starts and 90 minutes among all Arsenal attackers, facing competition from just Reiss Nelson and potentially Kai Havertz, and is also the designated penalty taker for Arsenal allowing for more potential goals and more potential hauls. 

At his price and considering Arsenal’s run of fixtures, he is simply the best Arsenal asset all things considered and he is probably already in your team.

Arsenal Betting Guide: Games and Outrights

Would you like to bet on the Gunners, but never really understood how betting markets work? Now let’s have a look at the most relevant betting markets for you to have fun and maybe profit from your knowledge about footie and The Gunners.

Essentially, the betting markets are divided into match result bets, which is a more specific form of betting focused around a specific game, and long-term markets that are called outright markets.

The most popular betting markets of football (soccer) are those focused on the events of one single game, like a derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, for example.

The odds are calculated by the bookies and the markets according to several factors. In the past, this was related to the form of the teams more than anything else. These days, the punters try to anticipate what will happen based, for example, on injury news, which is highly related to factors like the health and fitness staff of the club. 

As there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work these days to make sure a team is in top form, the preparation of a team involves things coming from the manager such as the tactics and formation, up to the best tricks of the fitness staff such as telling a player things to do for muscle soreness in order to heal and be ready for the next challenge. 

The richer clubs usually have a bit more structure, but any club in the Premiership will count on some very good staff to make sure their valuable players are ready to face each match of the calendar, both the 38 games of the EPL and other fixtures such as domestic and international cup games.

The punters usually follow the team news as a very important factor, and the good work of all club members makes a difference at the end of the day.

Now let’s have a look at the basic betting market odds and how they work

Match Result Odds: 1X2 Market

The most popular betting market out there is the 1×2. In this system, the punters try to guess what team will win, or if there will be a match draw. The match draw is represented by the X, while the victory of the hosts is represented by ‘1’ and the visitors ‘2’.

Odds are multipliers, and the most popular system for them in the world is the decimal one, although in the UK the fractional odds are also quite popular.

So if the odds for the next big game of Arsenal are 2.0 for a victory of The Gunners, this means you can earn 100% profit. So if you bet £10, you could win £10, as the bookie would pay you 20 pounds, the ten from your stake returned plus the profit.

Outrights Betting Odds

The outright odds work in the very same way. However, the bookie will only pay you after the season ends. So, if you bet on who will win the Prem before the season, you’ll have to wait until the next year, after a team lifts the EPL trophy. Right now the odds for a triumph of Arsenal in the ongoing season are 1.70 on average.

With a thrilling 1-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal reclaimed first place in the Premier League.

The victory across the capital and the fact that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a miserable reunion with his former employers were both made possible by Gabriel Magalhaes’ second-half goal, which also helped the Gunners move two points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City.

There has been a lot of discussion between the Chelsea and Arsenal camps since the final whistle against the Blues. Following the impressive victory of the north Londoner, here are some noteworthy headlines from Mirror Sport.

After the Gunners’ victory over Chelsea, Gabriel, who had just scored the game-winning goal for Arsenal, took a cheap shot at Aubameyang, a former teammate.

The Gabonese, who recently switched from Barcelona to the Blues, said in the lead-up to Sunday’s match that it was “not personal.”

Gabriel tweeted: “NOTHING PERSONAL.. ” after using that as justification to celebrate the Gunners’ victory. LONDON IS RED,” with an emoji of a red heart.

With their victory in West London seeing Arsenal reclaim top spot, Rio Ferdinand has suggested that the “togetherness” in the current squad could see the Gunners push on for the Premier League title.

Speaking after the win against Chelsea, the former Man United defender said: “I’ve seen something with this Arsenal team. Are this team the real deal? There’s something there, togetherness, you can smell it in this team. The way they celebrate.

“There’s an authority of how Arsenal are playing under this man Mikel Arteta. How many times did we look at each other when a phase of play happened and it was all because of the way that Arsenal were making them moves on the pitch.

Whilst both Gabriel and Ferdinand went down their own routes in responding to victory, Granit Xhaka’s thoughts forced broadcasters BT Sport to stage a live apology.

The Swiss let an x-rated statement slip during his post-match interview in front of the Arsenal faithful at Stamford Bridge.

He said: “You see the atmosphere, it’s f****ing unbelievable!”

Once he had been reminded to watch his language, Xhaka continued: “Yeah, you can see the atmosphere is unbelievable. I mean, from the start until the end, I think we deserved to win today.”

It has been revealed that Arsenal missed out on a player to Manchester United earlier this summer.

Edwin van der Sar is a name that is known to most in the football world due to his ability between the sticks; being an inspiration for many growing up when he was playing for their reason of wanting to play in goal.

He now finds himself in an important role at one of the clubs he was a star for, as he is the current Ajax CEO, and it seems he may have inadvertently helped out another of his former clubs at the expense of Arsenal, even if it was not directly linked.

According to the CEO, the Gunners had put in an offer for defender Lisandro Martinez long before Manchester United had, howeber it had been rejected.

Speaking to The Times, he revealed: “It was our opinion they (Lisandro Martinez and Antony) should stay for another year.

“We gave a firm ‘no’ to Arsenal when they came first for Lisandro; we fought hard to keep him.”

Indeed, the defender has been impressive at United since signing this summer, as he has helped to make them a little better at the back, which has led to many opting to use the available Bet365 bonus that is possible to acquire when placing their bets on the matches that involve the club.

But, have Arsenal really missed out? Or, are they doing as well as they could without him in north London?

Many had known what to expect from the Argentine when he arrived, as he had been a star for Ajax, although he did not come without his criticisms. For instance, many continued to pick on his height and say that his lack of height would be an incredible problem.

However, as mentioned, the Gunners actually appear to be doing rather well without him. The likes of Gabriel – who recently just signed a new long-term contract – and William Saliba are looking exceptional in the middle of the backline, while we have seen Arsenal continue to compete at the top of the league.

Of course, there is no doubt that he has been good, but Arsenal certainly appear to be fine without him. Some may still be wondering what could have been depending on how the Premier League season comes to an end, but there is no point looking back on something, especially when the two centre-backs at the club currently are performing as well as they are.

Here is how the Gooners have saved themselves from spending money in the market!

Arsenal’s pursuit of a centre midfielder was widely publicised during the summer transfer window. Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans was one of Edu’s top objectives.

During the transfer window, it was reported that the Belgian was interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium and that he would be ready to wait out the final year of his Leicester deal before making a decision.

However, if a rival made an offer this summer, Arsenal would consider it.

Due to a lack of depth and quality in the midfield, the Gunners wanted to buy a midfielder, and it was rumoured that Tielemans would be available for £30 million.

However, a deal failed to materialise. According to Sky Sports, Mikel Arteta’s side ‘cooled’ their interest in the Belgian towards the end of the window.

So far this season, it has shown to be a gift in disguise, as not only has Tielemans failed significantly, but Charlie Patino is beginning to show why he is highly regarded at the club, and there is potential for him to salvage a midfield slot.

Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey are two players that are now untouchable in the team. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Mohammed Elneny are the two reserve players, but their quality levels do not match that of the two starters.

Instead of wasting the dough in the January transfer window, Edu may be patient and wait for Patino to obtain the necessary experience before next season.

The 18-year-old demonstrated his immense talent during his senior debut against Sunderland last season, capping off an outstanding substitute cameo with his first senior goal.

This led to Arteta singing the praises for the youngster, saying: “He’s [Patino] a player that has a lot of personality. I’m delighted for him because he’s a kid that we like so much. To have his debut and score like that is something special.”

The promising teenager is now on loan at Blackpool for the remainder of the season, gaining important experience and getting acclimated to the physicality of first-team football, which will be crucial when he returns to the Gunners ahead of next season.

And the kid has had a good start with the Seasiders, which was highlighted by his debut goal against Millwall last weekend.

If the youngster continues on this path, it will demonstrate why Arteta was correct not to spend big money on Tielemans, and he might save £30 million by believing in Patino’s abilities.

Arsenal Football Club, one of the Premier league’s top clubs, are one of the favorites to win the Premier League in the 2022/23 season. Having won 13 league titles in the past, the club impresses with exciting football, which has been their philosophy for years. They have garnered fans from all over the world who watch their matches and bet on them on secure and reliable sites, in which you can find asiabet8888.com, where fans in China have the opportunity to utilize the best sportsbooks.

Arsenal FC have hit the ground running in the 2022/23 season, winning 5 out of 6 matches, which have them placed at the top of the Premier League table. Fans of the club can only wonder if they can keep up that momentum and go all the way to winning the league, ending an 18-year drought. With that said, here are Arsenal’s chances of winning the premier league in the 2022/23 season. 

It’s difficult to imagine a clearer contrast between Arsenal’s start to the 2022/23 season and their start to the season before. The Gunners lost their first three games of the previous campaign, with Mikel Arteta’s side needing four games to net a goal. Arsenal has 15 points out of a possible 18 after six games this season, and they are currently in a very intriguing position. Following an impressive transfer window that saw them sign two Manchester City players in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira from FC Porto, William Saliba has returned from a loan spell with Marseille and other players, they had a successful pre-season campaign, winning all 3 matches. Spirits were high at the Emirates at the start of the season, with the same momentum taking them to the top of the table. 

There is still a long way to go in the season and it would be exceedingly premature to discuss a title challenge, but there are indications that Arteta’s strategies are beginning to bear fruit. Arsenal has been proactively on and off the ball in their victories, showing evidence that he has created a team that can compete against the top teams in the league. After losing their first match of the season to the first top 6 side they have faced in Manchester United, the toughest tests are yet to come, and fans can only hope their beloved Arsenal can stand strong. Currently, according to statistics, Arsenal has a 6 percent chance of winning the title, which is considerably low compared to Manchester City’s 66 percent. 

Conclusion

Currently, Arsenal are in the driving seat of the league and can see fierce competition from Manchester City from the rearview mirror. If they can maintain their form and beat top teams, they can go on to win the league.

Olivier Giroud, a former Arsenal great, thinks that the Gunners will finally get a return to the Champions League this year. Giroud is presently signed to AC Milan, but he gained notoriety at the Emirates Stadium following a fruitful five-and-a-half-year stint. Before being pulled across the city by Chelsea in an unexpected transfer back in January 2018, the striker spent this time with the club, scoring 105 goals in 253 games. Giroud grew acclimated to Champions League football while living in north London. 

Giroud was still at Arsenal the last time the team qualified for Europe’s top tournament, but the club’s abilities have substantially diminished in the years following the 35-year-old’s departure. According to the Premier League odds at the online platform Sportwetten-vergleich.at. Arsenal has a 2.47% chance of making it in this year’s season. 

The situation has improved under Mikel Arteta’s management, and last year, the Spaniard came agonisingly close to clinching a return to the Champions League. However, a collapse in the season’s last weeks gave Tottenham the opportunity, and they edged out their sworn enemies to finish in the top four.

Arsenal has had a fantastic start to the season this time around. Before last weekend’s 3-1 loss to Manchester United, the Gunners had won five straight games and were atop the Premier League rankings.

And Giroud is sure that Arsenal is now in a position to end their prolonged exile from the Champions League. He said to Sky Sports, “I’ve also been following my Gooners, and I think it’s going to be another fantastic year for them.” When asked directly if he thought Arsenal would finish in the top four this season, Giroud responded, “Yes, absolutely. I hope so.

His remarks came only a year after he claimed that Arsenal’s unwillingness to spend considerably on transfers would likely hurt their hopes of regaining their place among the best of Europe, even though they spent more than any other top-flight team last summer to revamp their roster. Giroud responded to the question of when Arsenal will again finish in the top four: “Wow, that’s a great question! I think Mikel Arteta has time to get back in the top four.

He continued by saying that money is a significant factor. The issue with Arsenal is that they might not put forth as much money as their competitors, which could then hamper their challenge for a place in the top four and ultimately, a place in the UEFA Champions League next season if they do not win the UEFA Europa League.

Zurich welcomes Arsenal to Letzigrund on Thursday, 8 September, in a Europa League match. Premier League giants Arsenal travel to Switzerland to take on FC Zurich. Looking to rebound from Arsenal’s loss at Man Utd on Sunday, Arsenal is expected to turn up the heat in their Europa League group A opener away at Zurich; At the same time, the Gunners will field a changing squad; they should still have far too much firepower for the opposition. We reckon that Arsenal’s second-tier side, too, would be too much for FC Zurich and will eventually succumb to 3 goals, not to mention scoring a goal and taking their total over 2.5 goals.

FC Zurich has scored only four times in 7 league games this term, and Arsenals will be confident in keeping them out of this one. Arsenal, however, is currently sitting atop the Premier League table and has been coming to the fore of this season’s table. With the power Mikel Arteta is likely to carry from the bench in the last 20-30 minutes, Arsenal should be able to take three points on the road to open the groups. Arsenal has never played a game against FC Zurich and will be cautious about upsets in an important match. Despite controlling much of the game and looking better, Arsenal dropped their first points of the season.

Still, Arsenal made the trip bragging about a 100% success rate in their previous matches against Swiss sides, six wins out of six, with forgotten man Lucas Perez scoring a hat-trick in the 4-1 victory against Basel in the 2016-17 Champions League. If Mikel Arteta leads the club to just its third continental crown while pushing the leading team in the Premier League to a place at the top, significant progress has been made. Mikel Arteta’s side returned to Europa League action after finishing fifth in England’s Premier League last season and are currently bookmaker’s favourites to make it all the way. Arsenal started their League campaign well, and although they fell to a first defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday, they sit comfortably at the top of the table after six games.

Marquinhos and Matt Smith will likely make their FC Zurich debuts, having been included in Arsenal’s senior European Championships squad. At the same time, if Nketiah takes over from Gabriel Jesus this week, it will be aimed at finding the back of the net for his third consecutive Europa League start. Fabio Vieira’s cameo over the weekend left Arsenal supporters giddy, and I’m sure it pleased Arteta as well. Starting at his favoured No. 10 position would provide him with the ideal opportunity to do what he does best: create.
