3 strikers and 1 of them is Chamakh so make that 2 strikers.

How can compete with 2 strikers?

I thought Chamakh had gone to Malaga on loan

Not a bad squad but when did Arsenal ever have an injury free squad

All the wingers can play as a striker.

strongest 11 may include wilshere, but in reality do you think it will also same for sagna.

But none of them can score!

I would start Giroud regularly. he actually gets into right positions as a striker and has good linkup play

I am worried about our central midfield, imagine if arteta is injured.

Giroud is a starter for me too, he looks good. He will take his time to settle and will start firing next season. It is a trend in his stats that he always performs better after one season with a club. Whether that is down to him getting better as a player every season is debatable though

Our best squad is:

Scz
Sagna Kos Verm Gibbs
Arteta Wilshere
Gervinho Cazorla Podolski
Giroud

Thomas Eisfeld will come into the reckoning during the season too I think.

Ox instead of Gervinho for me Fubo. Also, CB situation is bit strange , would like Per to start games against some of the teams.
Laos I think we need to increasingly use Santos as a left winger, especially when Giroud plays, since Santos crosses pretty well

Szcezsny
Sagna Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs
Arteta Wilshere
Ox Cazorla Podolski
Giroud

That's strongest for me.

The good thing is so far the three 'strongest XI' line-ups posted have all been different.

We might've had real cause to worry had they all been the same.

It's always going to vary from game to game, but I'd say the side with the best balance would be:

------------Szczesny
Sagna-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Gibbs
---------Arteta------Diaby
Walcott----Wilshere---Cazorla
--------------Giroud

- A decent number of set-piece man-markers
- Diaby can drop in and support the defence from long-balls
- The pace of Walcott in behind from the right-flank is balanced with the creative ability of Cazorla coming off of the left.
-Wilshere can interchange with Cazorla when the Spaniard wants to come inside
-And Giroud provides a good physical outlet up-front

Out squad isn't actually that bad; I just feel that if Wenger had had the right backing, we could have pushed on and created a side that could really mount a title challenge.
