Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will once again be the man to provide the goals for Arsenal this season, judging by his Match Attax statistics.
With 22 Premier League goals to his name last year, the Gabonese forward shared the Golden Boot with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, but this time he’ll surely be hoping to land the award all for himself.
With the start of the new Premier League season, a new batch of Matt Attax cards have been released and Aubameyang leads the way for Arsenal in the attacking department.
Not only is the versatile forward Arsenal’s highest-rated player at £10 million, but he is also their best rated attacking player at 87. He has edged out Alexandre Lacazette (84) and will be looking to do the same on the pitch too in terms of goals.
Unai Emery’s biggest challenge will now be getting the two players in the same team alongside summer signing Nicolas Pepe. It has been one of the biggest early-season headaches for the Arsenal boss and one he needs to resolve quickly in order to bring the best out of the three players.
Aubameyang and Pepe started as strikers against Liverpool at Anfield and it was a system that failed to bring the best out of either player, who both look more suited to playing out wide.
However Emery fits the striker in this season, he’ll be a key player if the Gunners are looking to both qualify for the Champions League next season and push for European glory in the Europa League.
Mesut Ozil (£7m), Lucas Torreira (£7m) and Matteo Guendouzi (£6m) are among the higher-valued players in the rest of the squad.
You have the chance to find your inner Unai Emery when the cards are released later this week available in all good newsagents and online from www.toppsdirect.com.
