Sicario2 who could have possibly played more? The guys in the World Cup Club? So like a PSG French player potentially? I think Rice still edges it as there are more games in our league and those PSG players get rested a lot domestically as we know
That's why I said almost but not quite. I'm not considering any other players just the total number of possible games as you said he played the maximum number of games any player could play in one season. That also assumes he played the full 90 in every game, which although most times he did, but not for every game.
That's a total of 65 potential Arsenal games if we made every final and 13 England games if we reach the final (including friendlies). For a total of 78 games max this season.
- He missed 2 League games, 2 CL games, all FA Cup games, and ironically played every LC game 😂
- He also missed 3 England friendlies and 1 WC match so far and hopefully they get to the final and win it.
Anyways I agreed with your general point and didn't go into the stats because it didn't disagree with what you meant so never bothered. He definitely needs rest, same as Saka and a number of our players who have played almost every game over the last few years.
