FIFA 18: Every Arsenal Player's Ratings

Alexis Sánchez: 89

Theo Walcott: 80

Joel Campbell: 77

Alex Iwobi: 74

Ainsley Maitland-Niles: 65

Jeff Reine-Adélaïde: 63

He may be into the last year of his deal with the club in real-life, but Alexis Sánchez remains an Arsenal player for the time being and is an automatic first choice on the team sheet in FIFA 18. Able to play on the left, right, as an attacking midfield option or even up front as a striker, the Chilean winger is Arsenal's best utility player.

One point better off that he was last year, Sánchez also ranked 14th in EA's Top 100. Sadly, there isn't much to shout about in terms of wingers at the Gunners after examining one of their undoubted star players. For example, the next best is Theo Walcott, who scored a rating of 80 (down from 81 last year) this time around.

Unless you're willing to develop youngsters like Alex Iwobi, Ainsley Maitland-Niles or Jeff Reine-Adélaïde, then it's time to buy again. Joel Campbell is also on loan at Real Betis come the game's start, and some may not like the idea of paying money for a quick return to London. Options are limited on the wings for Arsenal, perhaps more than they should be.

Iwobi is the one to pick on the left if you're sick of Walcott, fancy playing youth and want to plonk Sánchez out on the right.
