Mikel Arteta has undoubtedly been one of the biggest disappointments of our Fantasy season. So often the silky creator in the Everton engine room, a Bonus Point darling to rival even compatriot Cesc Fabregas, Arteta has so far failed to turn his prompting and probing into Fantasy returns, registering just a single assist and a three goal return in 22 league starts.
Significantly, his Fantasy season has not been rescued by a consistent flow of Fantasy Premier League Bonus Points. Arteta has gathered just 14 over the season so far, and no Bonus has come his way since gameweek 14.
And yet, with Tim Cahill a reported injury doubt for Everton’s weekend fixture with Sunderland, Fantasy Managers are on alert and hunting for new attacking options within the Everton midfield ahead of their kind run of opponents and double fixture in gameweek 29. Arteta is possibly back on the menu; reason enough for us to offer our Members a closer look to see how Arteta has fared in recent weeks and how he compares to another key option in the Everton midfield – Marouane Fellaini.
