Bukayo Saka
24-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Saka was hampered by injuries throughout the 2024/25 campaign, clocking in with six goals and 10 assists, his worst return since his breakout in 2020/21. The winger remains one of the most productive players in the Premier League when healthy and importantly finished the season at full fitness. He offers immense upside in every facet of the game, whether taking a split of corners or scoring goals by himself. Even in an injury-hampered season he was a willing shooter with 67 shots across 25 appearances (20 starts). If he can stay fit for the full season, Saka should comfortably push past 20 goal contributions once more.
Appears off bench in PL game
Saka took one shot (zero on target) and created a scoring chance in nine minutes as a substitute during Saturday's 1-0 win over Newcastle.
ANALYSIS
Saka has bounced back from an Achilles issue that forced him to miss over a month of action, and he's now fit for extended outings in the decisive weeks of the season. The star attacker replaced Noni Madueke on the right wing in the weekend's match and could return to the starting lineup in the midweek UCL trip to Atletico Madrid. While he might not be in top shape, Saka is one of his side's top threats after scoring eight goals and five assists over 38 appearances across all competitions in 2025/26.

Will return Saturday
Saka (Achilles) will be an option for Saturday's game against Newcastle United, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Bukayo [Saka] probably is going to be in the squad, so good news.

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.
