It’s about time for Premier League festival – Fantasy Premier League. FPL has been played by the supporters around the globe, and the managers are constantly looking for so called ‘bargain’ and they might have a defending beast in Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

Arsenal snapped in the services of Sokratis Papastathopoulos ahead of next season looking to put behind their defensive vows and starts afresh. The Gunners would be hoping that the addition of the Greek center back will give them the much needed defensive lift and would bring stability as well as strength to their back line.

Sokratis was a regular starter with Borussia Dortmund, and is as well expected to do the same for the North-London side throughout the season. Other than being beast in the defence, Papastathopoulos will also give you goals on regular intervals. He is a real threat from dead balls due to his physique and strength.

Yes, he is new to the Premier League and settling in to its pace and physicality could take some time but he is experienced enough to cope up and mold himself into the English style of play complemented by his strength and ability.

Arsenal open their Premier League campaign with fixtures against Manchester City and Chelsea, but things get far easier for Unai Emery as they face the likes of Cardiff City, Newcastle United, Fulham and Crystal Palace until Game week 10 on the road. West Ham, Everton, Watford and Leicester City will be welcomed to Emirates during the same period.

The fantasy manager can opt for Sokratis Papastathopoulos and they will get some goal-scoring spice mixed with loads of tackles and interceptions and those sugary-sweet clean sheets.
