🔴⚪ With Arsenal signing Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille, lets look at how he and William Saliba complement each other statistically.

Thread - 👇
RTS appreciated! ♻️
Both players are very good in defensive duels, and each are good at both Progressive carrying and passing. (1/6)
Saliba already a strong defender with good ball distribution

Gabriel a good defender with strong ball distribution ability

Together they have no weakness

Take a look⬇️ (2/6)
Let's take a look at both Vs AVG in the PL 👇📈📉 (3/6)
Gabriel as an individual Vs AVG Ligue1/PL

• Strong in the air
• Strong tackler
• Very good at dealing with attackers running at him
• Good passer of the ball & loves a long ball into the final third

Overall, a quality addition head and shoulders above what we have right now
As you can see from the graph, both Gabriel and Saliba do statistically better than the AVG PL defender. ✅
Arteta has improved an already "uncoachable" defence, with these two pairings it can only can better. (4/6)
To add to their defensively solid statistics, Gabriel also has an impressive tackle success 👇✅

I understand they might not be the most attractive in terms of #FPL attack output, but they can provide consistent clean sheets, more so than last season and add to his BPS (5/6)
If they both slot in on the RCB/LCB you can expect vast improvement in the defensive side both in clean sheets and composure. 🔴⚪ Leaving good value in Saliba (4.5) Gabriel (5.0 TBC) Tierney (5.5) Bellerin (5.0) AMN (5.0) (6/6)
