Marcos Senesi (185cm/6’1”, 80kg/176lbs) has been one of the big winners of 2025/2026 thus far, with the current campaign looking likely to end up being Senesi’s most impactful season for AFC Bournemouth since his first in the Premier League.

Senesi has been with the Cherries since the summer of 2022, when he joined from Eredivisie side Feyenoord for €15m.

After a couple of injury-disrupted seasons, Senesi has stepped up for Bournemouth following the big-money summer departures of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid for €62.5m and Ilya Zabarnyi to PSG for €63m.

He’s been a near ever-present for Andoni Iraola this term, starting all of the Cherries’ league games so far at left centre-back.

His impressive performances in 2025/2026 earned the 28-year-old his first Argentina cap since 2022, potentially putting him in the picture for a place in Lionel Scaloni’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad.

This Marcos Senesi scout report analyses Marcos Senesi style of play in Andoni Iraola Bournemouth tactics.

We’ll analyse why Senesi has proven crucial in Bournemouth’s largely positive start to the campaign despite their summer sales, as well as the key traits that have made the Cherries centre-back one of the MVPs in the world of Fantasy Premier League this term!

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are one of the most complete sides in world football.

They control every phase of the game, from build-up to rest defence and have reached a level of collective understanding that few teams can match.

Their possession play suffocates opponents, their defensive structure is near impenetrable, and their set-piece routines are among the most innovative in the sport.

Even Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City were reduced to sitting in a low block versus this Gunners side.

Arsenal’s dominance from dead-ball situations has been widely documented.

Before the Burnley game, they had already scored nine set-piece goals this season, which is more than any other Premier League team.

Yet a closer look at the data reveals an imbalance in their attacking profile.

Out of 16 goals in total, only five have come from open play (17th in the league).

Their open-play xG of 7.8 ranks eighth, and with just 31% of their goals originating from open play, they have the lowest share in the Premier League.

Arsenal are not short of attacking talent, nor tactical clarity.

However, as their reliance on set-pieces grows, one overlooked solution could help restore fluidity in open play: Ben White.

This scout report does not seek to criticise Arteta or his methods.

Instead, it explores how Ben White’s unique influence, particularly his relationship with Bukayo Saka, could be the tactical tweak that restores Arsenal’s fluency in open-play attacks.

This analysis will delve into the benefits of the White and Saka partnership and how White’s profile could be key to breaking down compact low-block defences that have frustrated Arsenal in recent weeks.
