Arsenal’s 2023/24 campaign in the Barclays Women’s Super League was nothing short of a masterclass in consistency. The Gunners posted 15 victories, suffered just a single defeat and finished with a goal difference of plus 39, securing second place in the league table.
Key Fantasy Assets
At the heart of the attack, Alessia Russo, Stina Blackstenius and Olivia Smith combined for 23 league goals, while Caitlin Foord’s dazzling dribbles added an extra layer of threat. Midfield stalwart Mariona Caldentey averaged 6.3 fantasy points per 90 minutes last season, cementing her status as one of the most dependable midfielders in the game.
New Arrivals and Depth
The arrival of Georgia Stanway from Bayern Munich has already paid dividends, with the English international contributing seven goals and eight assists in her debut season. Alongside her, Ona Batlle, Lisa Baum and Géraldine Reuteler have deepened the squad, providing options across defence and attack.
The departure of set‑piece specialists Katie McCabe and Beth Mead has not left a void; instead, players such as Caldentey, Russo and Stanway have stepped up to claim penalty and corner duties, a factor that could swing weekly scores.
Value Picks for the Budget‑Conscious
Mid‑price options like Emily Fox and Chloe Kelly deliver creative spark without the premium price tag, while defenders Steph Catley and Daphne van Domselaar offer clean‑sheet potential that rewards even quiet weeks. The fantasy scoring system, which favours busy players, means Arsenal’s midfielders and back line can rack up points even when the scoreline is modest.
With a blend of proven consistency, new talent and cost‑effective performers, Arsenal presents a compelling case for being the most balanced fantasy football side of the season.
