The top scoring forward in FPL last year, Aubameyang was tied for the golden boot on 22 goals with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, despite playing significantly fewer minutes (2722 vs 3254 & 3076). He often saw rotation with Alexandre Lacazette but it is worth mentioning that this was predominantly in the second half of the campaign, as Arsenal progressed deeper in the Europa League.

Despite these reduced minutes, he registered more 'big chances' (36) than any other forward in the league and only Aguero (43), Kane (46) and Aleksandar Mitrović (47) landed more shots on target than the Gabonese's 39. The addition of Dani Ceballos and Nicolas Pepe to the Arsenal attack should mean more goal-scoring opportunities for the striker and if Mesut Ozil can regain his creative spark too, the Gunners would have one of the best supply lines in Europe. He was on penalty duties last year and is likely to retain them despite Pepe's excellent spot kick record as he looks to charge towards the golden boot once again.
