Saliba for the right sided CB for me
I anticipate some recency bias on this overall, but this one gotta be Big Willy
Saliba
Saliba and Kosc gotta be
Callum Chambers robbed again
Thomas Vermaelen (2010-2014)
Not sure why people aren’t giving Vermaelen enough credit. When he was fit, which wasn’t that often during the end of his Arsenal career, he was a top CB. He did complete a move to Barcelona eventually, but they wanted him way before his actual move there because he was so versatile.
I wouldn’t line him up ahead of Sabila or Koscielny, but I would definitely have him in the bench along with Mertesacker.
David Luiz (2019-2021)
I’ve always got a soft spot for him. He got us through that dark time after Wenger. I’ll put him right behind our best partnerships, Kos/mert and Gabby/Saliba.
For LB position, Nacho Monreal wins by landslide. He’s the first player to have more than 1k votes for a position. Here’s the top 3 LBs based on your votes:
-
Monreal - 2.2k
-
Tierney - 542
-
Tomiyasu - 456
I’ll put some suggestions in the comments for RCB for you to vote (I’m guessing this another landslide win for certain CB 👀).
If I’m building a team from scratch without considering fitness, I’m choosing Zinchenko over these.

Per Mertesacker (2011-2018)
He should win this just for that FA cup performance. Out for almost the entire season. Comes back from a big injury and single handedly won us that final.
I knew he wouldn’t win the popular vote, but Per Is the CB for me.
Calum Chambers (2014-2022)
Rob Holding (2016-2023)
With the dates this is starting to read like an obituary!
Sokratis P (2018-2021)
Laurent Koscielny (2010-219)
Kosc should win the LCB vote.
Man went back to the Roman times
Gabriel Paulista (2015-2017)
Willian Saliba (2019-present )
Yeah, him. Just close the topic and move on to the next one
Too soon? Naaaah, he’s already the best.
