Andrei Arshavin is Having a Better Season Than You Think

Andrei Arshavin is having a better season than you think. I’m not just saying that because of his game winning goal against Barcelona last night. I’m saying that because of his fantasy football stats.

Arshavin has 5 goals so far this season. You might say that’s a poor return for a striker, which is what Arshavin is listed as in 11Kicks. But he also has 11 assists, which is the second most assists of any player. Only Nani can beat that.

On the strength of those assists Arshavin is averaging 3.7 points per game over 25 games so far, making the Russian a more productive pick that Frank Lampard, Gareth Bale of Fernando Torres. That tally would be even higher were Arshavin listed a midfielder, because each goal would be worth an extra point, and he’d also be receiving an extra point for every Arsenal clean sheet.

I think the perception that Arshavin has struggled this season is based on the fact that few of the assists he’s provided have been particularly spectacular or memorable. But if it’s spectacular and memorable you’re after, then look no further than last night at the Emirates…
