Arsenal FPL players have been some of the best in this year&#8217;s Fantasy Premier League &#8211; so why are some of them among the most transferred out ahead of Double Gameweek 29?
Here, we examine the pros and cons of getting rid of the likes of Martin Odegaard (£6.9m), Bukayo Saka (£8.6m), Gabriel Martinelli (£6.6m) and others from the league leaders.
From the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixtures</a> to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">predicted points</a> and the view of expert FPL managers, we&#8217;ll see how strong the case for getting rid of Arsenal assets is.

<h2>Arsenal&#8217;s upcoming FPL fixtures</h2>
Twelve teams have two fixtures in Double Gameweek 29 &#8211; but Arsenal are not one of them.
Despite this, their home match against Leeds &#8211; who are missing key defensive midfielder Tyler Adams (£4.9m) &#8211; is ranked as the 12th best, ahead of Liverpool&#8217;s double.
The greater concern is in the longer term. The Gunners have the third-toughest games for the rest of the season, according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a>. This includes away games against Liverpool and Manchester City.
There are no more double gameweeks to come for Arsenal, although one positive is a favourable fixture at home to Southampton in Blank Gameweek 32.
Arsenal players will come in handy then, given Brighton, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United are the clubs to blank.
The <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-free-hit-chip-in-fpl-and-how-can-we-use-it">Free Hit</a> chip could come in handy here, with around half of the world&#8217;s top 250,000 managers still yet to play it.
Those with the Free Hit can feel more comfortable selling Arsenal players &#8211; but those without should keep their plans for Gameweek 32 in mind before getting rid.
<h2>Predicted points</h2>
No Arsenal player makes it into the top 20 predicted points scorers for Gameweek 29, despite a good fixture on paper.
Odegaard is projected to score 6.4 points, while 20th placed Vladimir Coufal (£4.0m)  is predicted to manage 8.1.
Double gameweekers dominate the leaderboard.
The Norwegian and teammate Saka creep into the top 20 when looking at the next five gameweeks as a whole, in 17th and 19th respectively.
The duo are expected to perform much better in Blank Gameweek 32, when they currently rank fourth and fifth for predicted points, however free-hitters can safely negotiate this if they wish.

<h2>Arsenal FPL stats</h2>
Strong <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> from the team top of the league will not come as a surprise &#8211; but it&#8217;s worth adding a sense of perspective, particularly when fixture difficulty is among the reasons to sell.
Arsenal have scored 66 league goals, second behind City who have played an extra game. Their expected goals (xG) of 52.87 is third best.
They have kept 12 clean sheets, joint top with Newcastle, conceding 26 goals &#8211; third least. Their expected goals conceded (xGC) is 30.6.
At home, the Gunners rank third for xG at home and ninth best for xGC.
Away, they have continued to perform strongly for goal threat, ranking third for xG and second best for xGC.
This may make their games away from the Etihad in the next six &#8211; against City, Liverpool and West Ham &#8211; less daunting.
Home fixtures against Leeds, Southampton and Chelsea also offer plenty of potential for points.

<h3>Arsenal players&#8217; stats</h3>
Saka, Odegaard and Martinelli have been the stars of the season &#8211; not just among their teammates but the league in general.
Saka is the top-scoring midfielder in the game, with Martinelli in second.
Both are in superb form, with Saka coming off the back of an 18 point haul in Gameweek 28 and Martinelli having scored six goals in six games.
Odegaard is fifth for midfielders for overall FPL points, with 10 goals and seven assists, although he trails the other two in recent weeks.
Having said that, Odegaard&#8217;s expected goal involvement per 90 minutes since Gameweek 17 &#8211; 0.5 &#8211; is very close to Saka and Martinelli&#8217;s 0.6.
Gabriel (£5.2m) is second for points among defenders, with Ben White (£4.7m) and William Saliba (£5.2m) right behind him.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.2m) has played fewer minutes, although he has a goal and an assist to his name post-restart and is an important part of Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side.

<h2>Who are the best replacements for Arsenal players in FPL?</h2>
The quality of the replacements &#8211; as well as fixture volume &#8211; will dictate how risky it is to sell Arsenal players ahead of Double Gameweek 29.
🤖 <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team">Your AI recommended transfers for FPL Gameweek 29 are ready</a> 🤖
Making a case for ditching their defenders is more straightforward than parting with the attackers.
With the difficult fixtures reducing the likelihood of regular clean sheets, managers can look to expected goals (xG) and expected assists (xA) data post-World Cup restart in Gameweek 17 to see if their defenders offer anything extra.
The best-performing players in these categories are not Gunners.
Full-backs Kieran Trippier (£6.1m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) lead the way for xA per 90.
Trippier&#8217;s 0.51 is ahead of Zinchenko in joint 10th on 0.12 &#8211; alongside six other players.
Zinchenko is Arsenal&#8217;s best defender for xG per 90 with 0.08. Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) leads the way with 0.23.
Manchester United players will be top of FPL managers&#8217; shortlists.
United have doubles in Gameweek 29 and 34, although for those without a Free Hit a blank in Gameweek 32 is a problem.
Defensively, Shaw is second among defenders for FPL points per 90 since Gameweek 17, although the suspension of <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/casemiro-red-card-fpl-impact">Casemiro</a> could affect United&#8217;s defensive strength.

<h3>Attacking options</h3>
Bruno Fernandes (£9.6m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) are the standout picks from the Red Devils, although Rashford is already in 52% of teams.
Fernandes is predicted to outscore Saka by 14 points over the next six gameweeks, according to the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team">algorithm</a>, with the former playing an extra game.
Since the restart, Saka has had the edge over Fernandes when it comes to shot volume and xG per 90, however the roles reverse when it comes to xA and overall creativity.
This has led to Fernandes accumulating 5.92 points per 90, just behind Saka&#8217;s 6.86.
<div id="attachment_53491" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-53491" class="size-full wp-image-53491" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Saka-v-Bruno.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Saka-v-Bruno.jpg 900w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Saka-v-Bruno-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Saka-v-Bruno-768x624.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Saka-v-Bruno-610x495.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" />Bukayo Saka v Bruno Fernandes</div>
&nbsp;
Elsewhere, Brighton midfielders Solly March (£5.1m), Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) and Kaoru Mitoma (£5.5m) are predicted to score highly over the next three gameweeks.
Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and James Maddison (£8.2m) offer alternatives too.
Liverpool benefit from two confirmed double gameweeks, as well as having a game in Blank Gameweek 32.

<h2>FPL transfers: The current picture</h2>
The graphics below show the top transfers in and out ahead of Gameweek 29 so far, as of Wednesday (March 29).
Saliba &#8211; who missed Arsenal&#8217;s last game before the international break through injury &#8211; is the most popular Gunner to be transferred out, followed by Odegaard.
A smaller number have taken out Saka and Martinelli, however a larger number of FPL managers have brought them in.
