Roger Marti scored just one goal in the month of January and the nature of the competition right now is so severe that he had dropped two places as a result.
The Spaniard failed to score against Girona and then against Atletico Madrid, but found the back of the net in the match against Real Valladolid, where he came off the bench to score. He came off the bench against Sevilla last weekend, but failed to make a mark as his team were humiliated 0-5 away from home.
He is averaging a goal every 130 minutes now and has a goals-per-game ratio of 0.5. He has recorded 33 shots on target so far, 20 of which have been on target. With 9 goals from 18 games, the Spaniard is 7th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot at the start of February.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
