Mesut Ozil: Strong Debut Season

Ozil led Arsenal with nine assists and also scored five goals in 26 appearances during his first Premiership campaign this season.

Analysis:

Ozil joined Arsenal from Real Madrid on deadline day of the summer transfer window and quickly paid dividends as the Gunners' most expensive signing in club history. The German playmaker started his Premier League career with two goals and three assists in five appearances, before hitting a mid-season lull that included both shoulder and hamstring injuries. Ultimately, Ozil was trusted in Arsenal's coveted No. 10 role, making him the fulcrum their attack. While he often could be more aggressive in attempting shots on goal, Ozil possesses a unique ability to set his teammates up for scoring opportunities, evidenced by nine assists. Following this summer's World Cup, Ozil figures to be one of the most highly regarded midfielders in fantasy leagues, especially with a year of experience in the English game now under his belt.
