IT'S possible too many Dream Team managers are underestimating Ben White (\u00a34.4m) this season. <\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Arsenal's No4 has 77 points to his name.<\/p>\n
That's eight more than Dan Burn (\u00a34m) and five more than Matty Cash (\u00a33.3m), who are both more popular – the latter appears in over twice as many teams.<\/p>\n
PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THE WEEKEND'S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN AN XBOX SERIES X!<\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, only Kieran Trippier (\u00a35.7m) boasts a greater tally than White among defenders right now.<\/p>\n The Newcastle right-back has amassed 91 points and is sixth in the rankings among all assets from all positions.<\/p>\n With an ownership of 30.8%, Trippier is also one of the most-selected players in the game.<\/p>\n It's not that White has been totally overlooked, his ownership of 11.4% is the seventh-highest among defenders, but given only the evidently brilliant Trippier has outperformed him to this point, shouldn't he appear in more teams?<\/p>\n It's interesting to compare the ex-Brighton defender's numbers to that of William Saliba (\u00a33.6m).<\/p>\n The Frenchman has notched a very respectable 61 points, putting him joint-seventh among players in his position, but he's now 16 shy of White.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And yet Saliba boasts a massive ownership of 29.9%, meaning he's only marginally less popular than Trippier.<\/p>\n One logical reason for this is that the 22-year-old is a more affordable route into Arsenal's defence – he's \u00a30.8m cheaper than White currently.<\/p>\n The main difference between the two is that, as right-back, White is able to contribute more going forward.<\/p>\n He's registered four shots on target, two big chances created, one goal and one assist – whereas Saliba has one assist but nothing across the other three metrics.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Mikel Arteta's side face West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and face a tough trip to Newcastle at the weekend but the rest of their November fixtures appear rather favourable.<\/p>\n Arsenal host Sevilla having beaten them in Spain recently before welcoming Burnley to the Emirates.<\/p>\n Brentford and Lens complete a relatively friendly run, although the Ligue 1 side did win the reverse fixture in France.<\/p>\n Dream Team bosses could do a lot worse than backing White throughout November given his impressive stats.<\/p>\n Get \u00a330 in free bets when you bet \u00a310 – CLAIM HERE<\/strong><\/p>\n 18+ New customers only.
