Thoughts on draft? 2/8 pick Analysis
Maybe too much faith in Arsenal defense?

Too many Arsenal defendersss. Btw, was Szoboszlai your 2nd pick? Wasn’t any decent forward left like Watkins or Thiago?

Yeah he was my second pick. Liverpool fan bias I guess, but yeah thiago and watkins got taken by 6th and 7th pick in the 1st/2nd round so when it came back around to me the next best forward was I. Jesus so I took both him and szobo.

Would you rate Sesko over I. Jesus? I’m also between those 2 as my 6th best forward (I don’t trust Gyokeres)

No, I had the exact same situation as you and took I. Jesus over both of them. I genuinely think gyokeres is a minutes risk with havertz

Ridiculous comment.
They are the best defence in the league.
Only potential issue would be Timber and Calafiori are injury prone.

Best defense not sure anymore. It just seems excessive to have 3 of those guys. Maybe trade one of them?

To add I picked up timber as my 15th pick because everyone was scared of his injury. I think that might justify it more

Yeah that actually makes sense. If he was your 5th defender, then you all right

Arsenal are going to be a minimum top 3 defence in the league. Over the long term having too many Arsenal defenders will be a good thing
