Martin Odegaard
27-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Odegaard's 2025/26 was disrupted by injury, limiting the Arsenal captain to 24 Premier League appearances and 16 starts, with his output dipping to one goal and six assists after more productive seasons. When fit, he is the creative hub of the champions, a playmaker who piles up assists and chances created, so the down year looks more like lost time than decline. He was excellent at the World Cup with four assists before Norway's quarterfinal exit, a reminder of his creative ceiling. Under manager Mikel Arteta, he is the undisputed No. 10 when available, so a healthier campaign should restore his double-digit assist potential. For fantasy, he is a buy-low on reputation, a high-end creative midfielder whose value hinges on staying fit. Draft him for the upside of a return to his best, with durability the one clear risk.
Back in training for preseason
Odegaard is back in training with Arsenal for preseason after his run with Norway at the World Cup, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Odegaard was superb at the tournament, tallying four assists across five appearances before Norway's exit in the quarterfinals, a reminder of his creative ceiling as a playmaker who dictates play through the middle. He dealt with injury issues throughout last season, which limited him to 24 Premier League appearances and 16 starts with a modest one goal and six assists compared to previous campaigns. As Arsenal's captain and undisputed number 10 under coach Mikel Arteta, his vision and passing range remain central to how the champions build their attack when he's available. Odegaard is expected to build up his fitness during preseason as he looks to bounce back from an injury hit year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become available
Arsenal are not completely ruling out the possibility of selling Odegaard this summer and would reportedly consider suitable offers for him, according to Teamtalk.
ANALYSIS
Odegaard played a key role for Norway as they marched into the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, and while he's among the club captains, Arsenal could be open to letting him leave if they receive a suitable offer this summer. Odegaard recorded one goal and eight assists across all competitions for Arsenal in 2025/26, but those numbers don't tell the whole story of how impactful he is for the club. Given his importance, any potential transfer would likely require an enormous fee.
