Who should start in the front three while Nasri is injured?

Andrey Arshavin opened at 55% on day one and spent 85 days getting stronger, not weaker — climbing to 61% by the finish. That's not a poll with a race in it; nobody else was ever within 30 points of him, and his 2,981 votes alone beat his three rivals' combined total of 1,933.

The margin held everywhere fans looked. Marouane Chamakh's 18% was the closest anyone got, and even that gap never budged after the first fortnight. This was a verdict delivered on day one and repeated 84 more times.

• Solo majority · Arshavin's 2,981 votes outnumber Chamakh, Bendtner and Rosicky combined.
• Locked by day one · 55% lead on day one grew to 61% — the gap never shrank.
• Home-turf holdouts · Only Denmark and Czechia backed their own, Bendtner and Rosicky, over Arshavin.
