Martin Odegaard
26-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Odegaard didn't live up to his ridiculously good previous two seasons in north London, but he still reached double-digit goal contributions with a goal and assist in the final two matches. Odegaard missed a couple months early in the season due to an ankle injury, which is better than a muscle problem. He has a guaranteed role in the starting XI as one of the most creative players in the team, creating 2.43 chances per 90 minutes last season, which was well below the prior campaign. Similar to a lot of the Gunners, if Odegaard stays fit to start 30-plus matches, his production should get a bump in 2025/26.
Ramping up minutes
Odegaard has played off the bench in the last two matches, going 33 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Odegaard trained for a couple weeks before finally returning to the bench against Bayern Munich, and a week later, he's picked up minutes on the pitch in back-to-back games. While his minutes are no longer guaranteed like they were in prior seasons, his availability adds even more confusion to the Arsenal XI given recent performances from Eberechi Eze. For now, it's best to assume Eze will be the first choice with Odegaard always an option to start, especially with a busy schedule ahead.
