Arsenal players with the highest potential on FIFA 22

Martinelli

By Oli Dickson Jefford

FIFA 22 was released almost three months ago but many will be unwrapping it on Christmas Day and looking to take on the challenge of career mode in the next couple of months.

And for Arsenal fans, it will be an exciting journey, with several players having a high potential rating.

Over the next few months, which Gunners should fans be targeting?


Bukayo Saka


Saka has been one of Arsenal’s biggest stars on the pitch this season and he could be a key pick for your FIFA XI this campaign.


The England international already has a rating of 80, making him one of the highest-rated Gunners in the game.


However, the 20-year-old has the joint highest potential rating of 88, meaning he could be a huge asset when playing.


Martin Odegaard


The Norwegian midfielder is another Arsenal ace who could prove to be a valuable asset for FIFA players with his high potential.

Odegaard has an overall rating of 82, which is matched by Alexandre Lacazette and only beaten by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thomas Partey from the current squad.

Yet he has a much higher potential than those three, equalling Saka with a potential rating of 88.


Emile Smith Rowe


Smith Rowe has been one of the most talked-about players in the league this year, though has not achieved cleared the 80 mark in FIFA just yet.

However, the midfielder has one of the biggest potential growths of any of Arsenal’s first-team regulars in this year’s game.

Smith Rowe currently has an overall rating of 78 but has a potential of 87- a substantial increase - making him a must-have for your team.

Gabriel Martinelli


Martinelli has excelled on the field in his past few real-life performances and gamers can expect a similar level of growth when playing FIFA.

The Brazilian currently has a surprisingly low rating of 76, but the 20-year-old has the biggest potential rating rise of anyone at the Emirates.

The forward could reach 87 which puts him level with Smith Rowe and just one behind Saka and Odegaard, but with the highest potential increase of 11.


Who else has potential?


Saka, Odegaard, Smith-Rowe and Martinelli have the highest potential ratings but there are several Arsenal players not too far behind them.

Ben White has a potential rating of 86 with a current overall rating of 77, meaning he could improve massively if you play with him.

Gabriel and Kieran Tierney both have potential ratings of 86, starting from an overall rating of 80, while Takehiro Tomiyasu has a potential of 85 after starting at 77.

What have we learned from Arsenal's pre-season so far?

  Arsenal – what have we learned from pre-season? By Jack Lacey-Hatton It only feels five minutes since Euro 2020, but incredibly we are just one week away from the new Premier League season starting. Arsenal will travel to newly promoted Brentford for a London derby in front of a noisy crowd next Friday night, not the easiest of starts to the new campaign. But what sort of shape are Mikel Arteta’s side in, going into what could be a defining season for the manager? We took a close look at what we have learnt from the pre-season period and what kind of shape the squad are in.   The new signings are ready to go It has been a mixed transfer window so far. Some fans would have expected more both leaving and arriving at the Emirates stadium over the summer. But positives can be taken - Ben White has arrived from Brighton for £50million, and highly-rated full back Nuno Tavares has come in from Benfica. Albert Sambi Lokonga completes the 2021 summer singings so far. Cruc...

Transfer Profile: Ruben Neves

Transfer Profile: Ruben Neves By Jonny Bray It is hard to believe that Ruben Neves is still only 25-years-old.   It feels as if the Portuguese international has been tipped for big things for nearly a decade now.  With the midfielder out of contract in 2023, it appears his time at Wolverhampton Wanderers could be coming to an end.  Understandably, with a player like Neves on offer for a reduced price, clubs around Europe are queueing up to secure the international's signature.  So, after all this time, should Arsenal move for Ruben Neves now, or is it time for the Gunners to turn their attention to a new target?  What would he bring?  Arsenal do not have enough defensive midfielders.  Martin Ødegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka give Mikel Arteta plenty of midfield options going forward, but the Gunners have been found lacking when out of possession this season. Thomas Partey has been in and out of the side due to injuries, a fact that has not hel...

Where will Arsenal finish this season?

Where will Arsenal finish this season? By Alec McQuarrie Arsenal have made steady improvement over the last few seasons under Mikel Arteta. After finishing 8th in his debut season, the Spaniard oversaw a five-point improvement in his first full campaign.  And last year an eight-point leap followed, which was unfortunately not enough to pip Tottenham to fourth place.  Cruelly, the 69 points accumulated would have been enough to seal Champions League qualification in the previous two seasons.  Looking at the trajectory over the Arteta era, it would be fair to assume a continued improvement this coming season.  After all, with five signings already secured this summer and Alexandre Lacazette the sole first-team player to depart, surely fourth place should be a bare minimum expectation.  Oleksandr Zinchenko offers much-needed cover at left-back and competition for central midfield.  Gabriel Jesus is a proven goalscorer and brings a tireless work-ethic to fulfil...
