Power Rankings the Best FPL Assets After Gameweek 1
- Team: Arsenal
- Position: Defender
- Price: 5.1m
Oleksandr Zinchenko had an impressive debut for Arsenal, starting at left-back in place of Kieran Tierney who’s still working his way back to full fitness.
Ahead of an excellent run of fixtures, there was plenty of interest in Arsenal’s defense and while picks were split between Ramsdale, Gabriel, and Zinchenko, Oleks produced a strong showing to pull ahead of the pack while emerging as the Arsenal defender of choice.
He had 1 shot on target and created 2 chances, including 1 big chance for an xG of 0.04, but nearly a gameweek-leading xA of 0.59. He got 12 points including maximum bonus points this week.
Besides his assist, he also did admirably well on baseline bonus compared to the rest of the defense, suggesting bonus points could be on the cards for him when Arsenal keeps a clean sheet.
