Bukayo Saka
24-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Saka remains Arsenal's most important attacking player, though a couple of injury spells limited him to 31 league appearances in 2025/26, in which he still produced seven goals and five assists as the Gunners won the title under manager Mikel Arteta. When fit and firing he is a premium fantasy asset, a nailed-on starter on the right who combines goals, assists and penalty and set-piece involvement. The only real question mark is fitness, as he has now had a few interrupted seasons and missing chunks of a campaign dents his totals. Assuming reasonable availability, he is among the first attackers worth targeting at his price, with double-digit goals and assists well within range across a full season. He is an early-round pick whose ceiling is as high as anyone's when he stays healthy.
Scores game-winner vs. Villa
Saka scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Monday's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.
ANALYSIS
Saka took advantage of a sharp passing combination between Eberechi Eze and Riccardo Calafiori to tap the ball home from close range following a low cross from the Italian. Saka has now scored in back-to-back games to open the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to sign new deal?
Saka could sign a new deal with Arsenal in the near future, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
The new deal hasn't been agreed on, but reports indicate that both sides are already discussing a potential extension. Saka's contract ends in 2027, so Arsenal could face the prospect of losing their star winger after the 2026/27 campaign if they don't move quickly to secure a new deal. Saka hasn't shown any desire to leave the Emirates Stadium, but Arsenal are certainly doing their diligence to keep their star player happy.
