List of goalscorers
The Arsenal FC championship team The following list lists all players who played in a league game for Arsenal FC during the 1930/31 season. It must be noted that in English football a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of appearances and the goals scored are given in brackets, lastly the number of all first division games up to that point. The Arsenal players had played a total of 2,642 top division games at the end of the season.
Change of players during the season
