Declan Rice

Rice was the most consistent part of an Arsenal team that was riddled by injuries in the 2024/25 campaign. He played in 35 matches (33 starts) and was one of the few starters to avoid a serious injury. While his output took a bit of a dip with four goals and seven assists, he managed 59 chances created thanks to a bigger role on set pieces, totaling 163 free kicks and corners. Reaching 10-plus goal contributions is excellent for any do-it-all midfielder, and there is a chance he pushes to 15 again if all goes well, as new additions may allow him to roam more forward than prior seasons.
