Monitor – Santi Cazorla

Filed under: Members - Posted by: Paul

On an almost-weekly basis, Santi Cazorla records stand-out Opta statistics without producing Fantasy returns. The Spaniard’s role in “the hole” for Arsenal affords him plenty time to wreak havoc in the final third but with a single goal in his last four Gameweeks and without an assist in his last six, many Fantasy managers are starting to jump ship.

There is no doubt Cazorla is a wonderful talent but when mid-price alternatives such as Marouane Fellaini and Kevin Nolan have bettered his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) score from similar roles for Everton and West Ham respectively, and James Morrison is just a single point behind the former Malaga man, Cazorla’s price tag weighs heavy on our budgets. In this latest article for Members, we compare his performances over the past four Gameweeks to his opening seven appearances, while also taking a look at Cazorla’s home and way displays over the course of the season so far.

Since returning from international duty in Gameweek 8, there’s been a definite drop in Cazorla’s statistics. Earlier this month, Arsene Wenger admitted fatigue has played a part in the playmaker’s performances – bearing in mind Spain face a long-haul flight home from Panama after this evening’s late kick-off, the Gunners boss has a potential headache prior to Saturday lunchtime’s north London derby:

“Cazorla played 17 games since the start of the season and 17 games of complete intensity and therefore of course he’s a little bit less fresh at the moment.”

    Maybe Zaha could add Ibrahimovic to his list of players better than him?...

      Zaha's words were twisted, that wasn't what he said :D

    The burning question.

    Who is the king of cool?

    A) Dimitar
    B) Zlatan

    Crouch has scored better overhead kicks than that, more than once.

    1. Giggs Boson
      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I would actually agree there. Crouch has scored some stunners with less space than what Zlatan had. The distance was incredible, and with his back to goal...

      1. ronh
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        It was a bouncing ball.

        Crouch has scored overhead volleys...

        There is no contest, Crouch's overheads are better.

        This is just a case of people acting/saying what they think they are supposed to say.

        1. daisybcfc

          or people arguing for the sake of arguing?

          1. ronh
            • Reputation Level: Scout

            OK, do you actually think that his goal was better than Crouch's overhead volleys?

            1. ronh
              • Reputation Level: Scout

                thats not what anyone said. no one said, that was better than crouch.

                everyone said it was great and you decided to say not as good as this.

                it was not as great as maradona against england.

                it was not as great as lasagne

                it was not as great as space travel.

                you just fancy a barny, its strange. i shouldnt bite but im bored.

      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He played well in that game though, and he's served England very well over the years. It's deserved respect. Zlatan was amazing though. I will say that Shawcross's mistakes led to one, and two Hart errors for another two. Great finishes though.

      I am slightly nervous that if I transfer Hazard out, he could eventually get some game time up front when RDM gives up on Torres.

    Lads, looking for some suggestions on picking midfielders...
    I need to pick 3 out of the below 6, but it's difficult to make up my mind...
    Mata, Cazorla, Silva, Valencia, Hazard and Bale.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers!

    Carzola > Fellaini? for 4 point hit...

    Smart? or not worth it?

    I got rid of Lukaka due to lack of game time, changed formation and brought in Cazorla.
    My options were, Michu, Fellaini (both 1 book away from suspension) or Cazorla as a replacement.
    Wrong choice made!!!
    He has 2 more weeks or out. It's points that make prizes!!

“I am happy with the way I’ve started, but on the other hand, I should have scored four or five more, so that’s something for me to work on.”

Robin Van Persie talks about his early form at United ahead of his first Manchester derby
