Were you watching last season? Here’s a little quiz to find out.

by Sir Hardly Anyone…

How well were you watching?  All the questions here are about last season.

The answers are below, followed by a second quiz in case you are feeling emboldened by the first…

1: Four players started over 20 first team games but didn’t score.  Who were they?

2: Also, four players made 30+ starts in the Premier League last season.  Who were they?

3: Three players scored in double figures last season across all four main competitions.  Who were they?

4: We played six FA Cup matches last season.  Who played in all of them?

5: As you would expect, Aubameyang was the top scorer in the FA Cup for Arsenal last season.  Who was second top?

6: Who was our top scorer in the League Cup last season?

7: No one started in all the Europa games last season but one player made seven starts and came on as a sub once.  Who was that?

8: Adding all four competitions together, who made the most starts for Arsenal?

9: Taking all four competitions into account Aubameyang was our top scorer of course.  How many goals did he get?

10: Taking all four competitions into account who was our most used substitute?

Answers 

1: Leno, Guendouzi, Kolasinac, Martinez

2: David Luiz, PE Aubameyang, Granit Xhaka, Bernd Leno

3: PE Aubameyang, Alex Lacazette, Gabrielle Martinelli

4: Emi Martinez

5: Eddie Nketiah with two goals

6: Martinelli with four.

7: Joe Willock

8: David Luiz with 42 starts.

9: 29

10.  Joe Willock.  He started 20 games across all four competitions but came on 24 times as a sub.  21 of these were in the League.

 

OK so you did quite well there.  Maybe very well.  So now try these extra five:

11.  Last season was Bukayo Saka’s breakout season.  How many times did he start, and how many goals did he score?

12.  Sokratis, Mustafi and Guendouzi have all been tipped to leave this summer.  How many games did they start between them (answers to the nearest 10 will be accepted)

13.  How many goals did Guendouzi score last season?

14:  Five players started 30 or more games last season across the four competitions.  Who were they?

15: How many goals did Arsenal score across all their FA Cup matches put together.

Here are the answers to part two

11,  29 starts, 9 as sub and four goals.

12.  Sokratis 26, Mustafi 25, Guendouzi 24.  Total 75.

13.  None.

14. David Luiz, PE Aubaemyang, Granit Xhaka, Berd Leno, Alex Lacazette.

15: 10

  1. Ceballos’s goal against Sheff Utd, I presume, is not included as he did not score 3 goals or more
