FOUR Arsenal players are named in the best team from the first 11 Gameweeks of 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League.
The side lines up in a 5-3-2 formation, with Crystal Palace the only other side to supply more than a single player.
Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo (£8.5m) also merits a mention here. He is among four players to collect 60 points, but misses out as he performs the worst for value among the quartet, in terms of points per million (ppm) spent.
Robin Roefs (Sunderland) £4.7m, 56 pts
The Sunderland No 1’s many routes to returns have helped him top the goalkeeper standings on 56 points. Roefs has combined four clean sheets with 11 save points and six bonus points to establish a three-point lead over Arsenal’s David Raya (£5.9m).
Gabriel (Arsenal) £6.6m, 81 pts
His impact at both ends of the pitch have made Arsenal’s Brazilian both the most-selected defender and top-scoring in Fantasy. Gabriel has accumulated 81 points, thanks to a goal, two assists, seven clean sheets and eight defensive contribution points.
Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) £6.1m, 67 pts
Timber has already matched his total of four attacking returns from last season, scoring twice and supplying two assists. The right-back's creativity makes him the most likely Arsenal defender to produce assists - indeed, his 12 chances created are at least three times the total of any other member of their back four.
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace) £5.1m, 64 pts
Crystal Palace’s centre-back is the top player for value this season, returning 12.5ppm spent due to his multiple routes to returns. Guehi has produced one goal, three assists, four clean sheets, 10 defensive contribution points and five bonus points, blanking just once in 10 starts. His 35 per cent ownership will be eagerly awaiting an injury update after he missed Gameweek 11 with a knock.
Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal) £5.8m, 61 pts
The Italian has finally secured a regular role in the Arsenal XI, starting all 11 of their matches and helping them to a league-high seven clean sheets. Calafiori has offered the greatest goal threat of any defender in Fantasy this season, producing 19 shots and 13 shots in the box.
Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) £5.7m, 60 pts
His potential at both ends of the pitch has made the Colombian one of the most reliable defenders around, with Munoz producing five or more points in eight of his 11 appearances. The Palace wing-back also boasts a significant goal threat, with his 12 shots and 10 shots in the box both placing among the top five defenders.
Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth) £8.1m, 75 pts
The AFC Bournemouth star remains the top-scoring midfielder in Fantasy, despite a run of just one assist over the last four Gameweeks. Semenyo’s upcoming run of opponents over the next six Gameweeks suggests he can add to his six goals and four assists this season. According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), where the difficulty of each fixture is ranked from one to five - with one being the easiest possible match and five being the hardest - his home matches against West Ham United, Everton and Burnley each score only two.
Declan Rice (Arsenal) £6.9m, 65 pts
His all-round style of play and share of set-pieces has helped the Arsenal midfielder enjoy his best start ever to a Fantasy campaign. Rice has blanked only twice in his 10 starts, producing two goals, four assists, six defensive contribution points and 10 bonus points.
Moises Caicedo (Chelsea) £6.0m, 60 pts
The Chelsea midfielder has surpassed all expectations for attacking output in 2025/26. Caicedo had never scored more than one goal in each of his previous four Fantasy campaigns, but he already has three of them to his name, along with an assist. His 10 defensive contribution points and nine bonus points both place among the top three midfielders, highlighting his all-round output in Fantasy.
Erling Haaland (Man City) £14.8m, 102 pts
Manchester City’s talisman became the first player to break the 100-point barrier in 2025/26 by scoring his 14th goal of the season against Liverpool last weekend. Haaland has blanked just twice on his way to the top of the player standings and is now owned by a massive 70 per cent of managers, explaining why he is the most-picked captain in any Gameweek right now.
Igor Thiago (Brentford) £6.3m, 60 pts
Eight goals have taken the Brentford star to second place in the forward standings in his breakout season in Fantasy. Thiago’s upcoming schedule gives him every chance of maintaining his prolific start – across the next six Gameweeks, Brentford are at home to Burnley and Leeds United, while also visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers.
