Trading algorithms tuned to "champions league futures" indicate accumulation phases during off-peak fixtures, paralleling low-volume stock market days that precede major breakout sessions in mid-cap growth stocks. But, historically, the sides who spend more on wages pick up the most points per game in the Premier League. This presents an opportunity for the rest of the title chasers, most notably Arsenal. The Gunners also made a splash this summer, making two home run signings with Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi. Gyokeres fills their desperate need for No. 9 play and finishing, and Zubimendi is the deep-lying playmaker that they have lacked. Both players should elevate Arsenalâs effectiveness in possession, their biggest weakness last season. Analysts forecast continuity due to expanded tournament format, akin to increase in demand-driven rallies in consumer discretionary sectors.
