Team: Arsenal Value: Points In GW5: We have two Arsenal midfielders making up the top-five list of stars you need to buy when using your wildcard, and that can perhaps be of very little surprise considering the Gunners are top of the table at present. The Londoners have made a surprisingly good start to their Premier League campaign and have bounced back from their horror show against Aston Villa on the opening day by winning all of their last eight games. And, with the coup of having also signed Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil on transfer deadline day, there is no reason why Arsenal can't be serious title contenders this season. Ozil has been in inspired from since swapping the Spanish capital for the English one, and has been living up to his billing as the so-called "King of the assist". The Germany international has laid on four goals in his first two appearances for his new club, including three last weekend, and had until recently more assists than anyone playing in Europe's top five leagues this season. We believe the statistics alone speak for themselves and should at least lead to Ozil factoring into your thought process before clicking that "play wildcard" button. Are you going to play your wildcard this year? Who are you going to sign? Let us know in the comment section, below.
