Our 2025/26 player ratings (so far): Part 1

It’s currently the international break for the men’s team, which is generally a good time to take stock of how things are going. Therefore, Luke, Jonny and Sam have gathered to submit their Arsenal player ratings for the season so far.

Today, we are starting with the goalkeepers and defence. So we’ve got some big questions to answer. E.g, how harsh should we be to Kepa? And, is Gabriel or William Saliba more worthy of a 10? Listen to find out.

What are your ratings? Let us know [email protected] or find us on YouTube, X, Instagram, and TikTok.
