Technical Area

The Technical Area – Wilshere Gets Creative

While there’s little doubt that Theo Walcott is the Arsenal Fantasy midfielder of choice these days, Jack Wilshere’s Fantasy potential has also taken a turn for the better in recent weeks. Analysing the statistics over the last four Gameweeks, it’s perhaps something of a surprise to see the Gunners midfielder as the most creative midfielder on show – Wilshere sits top of our ICT Creativity rankings and has provided more goalscoring opportunities than any other player in the Premier League across that quartet of fixtures:

Wilshere Average Positions Comparison

Wilshere Early
Wilshere Recent

The maps clearly highlight a change in position by Wilshere. He previously operated in more withdrawn areas (above left) upon his comeback from injury in Gameweek 9 but is now finding himself closer to goal when on the ball (above right) and has even replaced Santi Cazorla in “the hole” over the past few games.

Wilshere Previous Average86.323.91314.21.652.71.80.4
Wilshere Last Four87.84121.2223.624.42.00.6

Looking at the stats, the difference is obvious. Although Wilshere’s game time is more or less identical, he has made 41 touches per game over the last four in comparison to 23.9 beforehand. The youngster has also seen a significant rise in both passes received in the final third (21.2 to 13) and successful passes made in the final third (22 to 14.2), highlighting his ability to influence matches from further up the pitch.

Although Wilshere’s stats in terms of touches in the box and shots per game have almost stayed the same, his creativity has leapt considerably – a previous average of 1.6 chances created per match has risen to 3.6, which equates to one key pass every 24.4 minutes in comparison to a previous average of 52.7 minutes.

Juan Mata28628.610115
David Silva33030.011209
Stewart Downing36230.2120110

Analysing the top five midfielders in terms of minutes per chance created over the last four Gameweeks, Wilshere’s eye for a killer pass is obvious. He has created chances at a pace quicker (24.4 minutes) to that of playmakers such as Adel Taarabt (24.5), Juan Mata (28.6) and David Silva (30.0), while he has supplied 10 through balls for the likes of Walcott and Olivier Giroud, though has returned just a couple of assists over the period.

It’s when it comes to goal threat, though, that he’s let down in comparison to others. Taarabt, for example, has had five times as many shots (15 to three), while Silva has managed nine attempts despite playing over 100 minutes less. Indeed, for Arsenal, Walcott has had 22 attempts on goal over the same period, while Cazorla has produced 18 shots in addition to creating 11 chances – while Wilshere’s move further forward has afforded the Gunners’ plenty creativity, his lack of goal threat continues to keep him off Fantasy radars, then.

Expected to recover from a leg knock in time for next Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Bayern, if Wilshere can develop a killer touch in front of goal, his mid-price appeal could yet see him find a way into our sides as a differential contender over the last few months of the season. While next season, should his role remain an attacking one, he could be one to break out of the mid-price and announce himself as a true Fantasy asset.

          I'm addicted to FPL not UCL...UCL bores me just thinking about it. I think people who support the top 4/5 teams get interested in UCL more because their team is in it. For the rest of us...it's pretty easy to ignore until the latter stages...I've fallen asleep to many a champions league game...can be so boring.

              I would prefer to watch Sunderland play an important league game than a Barcelona tie against Spartak Moscow away or something. You can't change how you feel about the team you support, once you have emotionally invested in a team's fate you are forever hooked. Don't be silly and pretend you don't understand this. Unless of course you are just a glory fan.

        Prep Time: 10 minutes
        Cook Time: 35 minutes
        Total Time: 45 minutes
        Ingredients:

        ¼ cup granulated sugar
        2 tablespoons water
        2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
        1 ½ cups orange juice
        2 tablespoons shallots, minced
        1 1/2 cups chicken stock
        4 oranges, sections cut from membranes
        2 duck breast halves, seasoned with salt and pepper
        ¼ cup unsalted butter
        2 tablespoons orange zest

        Preparation:

        Boil the sugar and water for several minutes, until the syrup caramelizes and turns a golden brown color. Add the vinegar, juice, shallots, and chicken stock and simmer until the sauce is reduced to a little less than a cup. Add butter and 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Stir in orange sections.

        In a skillet, sear the duck breasts over high heat. Cook the duck for about 9-11 minutes on each side. Pour the prepared sauce over the duck breasts and garnish with the remaining orange zest.

        This duck a l'orange recipe makes 2 servings.
