Arsenal supply FOUR of the top-scoring team across the first 31 Gameweeks of 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League.
The Gunners’ resilient rearguard earns David Raya (£6.0m), Gabriel (£7.2m) and Jurrien Timber (£6.3m) places in the side, with the trio joined by their midfield team-mate Declan Rice (£7.3m).
Overall, SEVEN clubs are represented, with Manchester City the only other side to have more than a single player in the line-up.
David Raya (Arsenal) £6.0m, 129 pts
His potential for clean sheets has made Arsenal’s No 1 both the most-owned and top-scoring goalkeeper in Fantasy. Selected by 34 per cent of managers, Raya has collected 15 clean sheets in 2025/26, placing him four ahead of Jordan Pickford and Gianluigi Donnarumma (both £5.6m) in the race for the Golden Glove.
Gabriel (Arsenal) £7.2m, 173 pts
The centre-back’s output at both ends of the pitch has helped him establish a 24-point advantage at the top of the defender standings. Gabriel has combined three goals and four assists with 14 clean sheets to average 6.9 points per match (ppm), more than any other player in 2025/26 Fantasy.
Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) £6.3m, 149 pts
Three goals and six assists mean the Arsenal right-back has nine attacking returns to his name – that’s more than any other defender and more than twice his total of four from last season. Timber’s all-round influence is further highlighted by the underlying numbers. His 24 shots in the box are joint-second among defenders, while only five of them have bettered his 27 chances created.
James Tarkowski (Everton) £5.7m, 142 pts
Everton’s centre-back has been one of the main beneficiaries from defensive contributions, earning two points for his actions in 18 of his 30 outings. Added to his goal, assist and 11 clean sheets, Tarkowski has amassed 142 points – just one away from matching his best-ever campaign of 143 points in 2019/20 Fantasy.
Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £10.3m, 189 pts
The Manchester United star has been the most reliable player for double-figure hauls this season, producing 11 of them across his 28 starts. Fernandes’ eight goals and 17 assists have helped him top the midfielder standings on 189 points, with his creativity a clear standout of the Portuguese’s play - he has created 24 big chances, situations where a player is expected to score, more than twice the total of all but two other players this season.
Antoine Semenyo (Man City) £8.2m, 174 pts
The Ghana international is enjoying the best campaign of his Fantasy career, scoring 15 goals and supplying six assists. Semenyo has wasted no time in settling at Man City following his January move from AFC Bournemouth - indeed, since making his debut in Gameweek 22, his 54 points are more than any other player for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Declan Rice (Arsenal) £7.3m, 163 pts
Arsenal’s England star has proven one of the most reliable players in Fantasy this season thanks to his multiple routes to points returns. Rice has scored four goals and assisted a further nine, while earning a further 24 defensive contribution points and 21 bonus points.
Harry Wilson (Fulham) £6.1m, 152 pts
The Fulham talisman has been the standout budget midfielder across the first 31 Gameweeks. Having started the season at £5.5m, Wilson has produced 10 goals and eight assists to smash his previous personal best of 94 points from the 2023/24 campaign.
Erling Haaland (Man City) £14.4m, 197 pts
It’s been a season of two halves so far for the Man City star. Haaland was the runaway leader in the player standings early on, scoring 19 goals and supplying four assists over the first 17 Gameweeks. But he’s managed just three goals and three more assists across the subsequent 14 Gameweeks and has dropped markedly in ownership, with just 54 per cent currently holding the Norwegian.
Joao Pedro (Chelsea) £7.8m, 164 pts
A summer move to Chelsea has helped the Brazilian improve his points total for the fourth successive season in Fantasy. Joao Pedro has scored 14 goals and supplied nine assists to surpass his previous career-high of 126 points from last season. The forward's goal threat has markedly improved since Liam Rosenior took charge in Gameweek 22, with his totals of 32 shots, 29 shots in the box and 14 big chances all ranking top among all players in Fantasy.
Igor Thiago (Brentford) £7.3m, 153 pts
Nineteen goals in his breakout Fantasy campaign places Brentford’s Brazilian second only to the 22 of Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot. Thiago’s totals of 71 shots, 67 shots in the box and 36 big chances also place second only to Haaland this season, showing why he will continue to rival the Norwegian over the run-in.
