======================================================================So, I was considering Alexis Sanchez as a transfer option this week and decided to do some digging on Arsenal’s statistics…
So far this season Arsenal have scored just 2 goals, the lowest number of goals scored in the league - not very impressive.
Although, in terms of statistics, Arsenal are the most attacking team in the league. Topping the league for Goal Attempts(61), Shots Inside the Box(43), Key Passes or Chances Created(49), 3rd highest number of Big Chances(5) and are 4th for Shots on Target(18). They are also top for possession in the league(61%).
Considering these impressive statistics, it’s quite surprising that they have only scored 2 goals so far, the joint lowest in the league. So, considering their free flowing football along with their goal scoring exploits last season(3rd highest scoring team), I think it’s fair to say that we can expect their number of goals scored to increase significantly over the coming weeks.
With new, STK, lei, and wat in their next 6, a nice run of fixtures could be just what Arsenal need to convert their league-topping statistics into actual output in the form of goals scored. My suggestion from the Gunners would be Alexis Sanchez, who has been very unlucky not to have scored so far this season – hitting the post on multiple occasions over the last 3 weeks. I think it won’t be long before he comes up with a huge score in FPL, and should rack up the points over the next 6 weeks - definitely a top transfer target, in my opinion, and one to classify under "Explosion Imminent".
