Who's the least terrible finisher at the club?

[GoonerJay24]

It's Martinelli, but this current system has him too wide and not close enough to the goal. The whole point of a 4-3-3 was to have inside forwards supporting the 9, but Arteta has Saka and Martinelli right out on the touchline.

Trossard is the best finisher at the club by far then i'd say Martineli then ESR.

Either Trossard or Ødegaard. Seem to remember ESR being a good finisher but might be a figment of my imagination at this stage

Fans remember the lethal Martinelli small period under Emery where he looked like a pure natural goalscorer.

Then Arteta arrived, squeezed the fruit of that development and now ruined him.

I never rated Trossard's finishing at Brighton despite being a fan of his, he was a very well known troll in fantasy football. It's actually damning that he tops the charts at Arsenal.

Thank you!

I been saying this for a while with no love and was wondering if I was going crazy. I remember this game against Chelsea where trossard should have had a hattrick and I swore off fpl after that game.

He’s always been a streaky player for me, he’s not a weapon the way a lot of people here think he is. Put away some mad finishes and then miss some sitters.

Going by stats (non-penalty goals scored vs npxG) over the last 3 seasons it's ESR followed by Ødegaard and Vieira (tied).

Then the rest of the wide attackers with Martinelli slightly ahead and Saka the worst.

Then Jesus and Nketiah who are completely useless.

For Vieira it's a bit hard to judge as most of his game time was for Porto, but otherwise it's largely supported by the eye test for me.

1. Kiwior
2. Ben White

ESR actually. Look at his finishes in the covid and the subsequent season.

At this point, Ransdale is worth a shout
