After defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers in their first game of the season, Arsenal are gearing up to visit Villa Park to face Aston Villa. Last Word on Football brings you three Gunners players to <\/span>be selected<\/span> for your Gameweek 2 squad, with the FPL deadline set for 11:00 AM BST on August 24.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three Arsenal Players to Start for FPL Gameweek 2<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kai Havertz (\u00a38.0 Million)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Kai Havertz was impressive against Wolves as he bagged a goal and then assisted Bukayo Saka to collect 12 FPL points. He should <\/span>be expected<\/span> to continue this form on the weekend. His playmaking ability will help his teammates to get on the scoresheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The German is Mikel <\/span>Arteta’s<\/span> first-choice striker when available and will be getting a consistent run of games this season. <\/span>This<\/span> will further improve his faith in himself and help strengthen his attacking output.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gabriel Martinelli (\u00a37.0 Million) – <\/span>Arsenal\u2019s<\/span> X-Factor for FPL Gameweek 2<\/span><\/h3>\n

Gabriel Martinelli might be<\/span> a <\/span>crucial <\/span>factor<\/span> in determining <\/span>the outcome of the<\/span> game against Villa.<\/span> The reason: Unai <\/span>Emery’s<\/span> penchant for deploying a <\/span>high defensive\u00a0line<\/span><\/a>. This tactic can prove dangerous, especially with the Arsenal attacker trying to <\/span>make use of<\/span> his pace to get beyond the opposition defenders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Martinelli is available at \u00a37 million, which is considerably cheaper than the likes of Saka, Havertz, and Martin Odegaard. He has so far been selected by only three percent of the FPL teams. The rest might rue their decision come the full-time whistle at Villa Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka (\u00a310.0 Million)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Arsenal’s<\/span> main<\/span> man, <\/span>saviour<\/span>, and star boy.<\/span> Any number of adjectives cannot do justice to what Saka has been producing on the pitch for Arsenal. Against Wolves, he once again proved he is the heartbeat of Mikel <\/span>Arteta’s<\/span> team after scoring the second goal to put the game to bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

If<\/span> things start going south for Arsenal on Saturday<\/span>, expect Saka to step up<\/span>.<\/span> The Villa defenders will <\/span>have a tough job coping<\/span> with the <\/span>Englishman’s<\/span> intensity.<\/span> Though he <\/span>is valued<\/span> at \u00a310 million, he will more than justify the price tag with his goal contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
