Top Contenders for the LaLiga Golden Boot: January 2019

#5 Roger Marti (Spain, Levante)

Roger Marti is slipping away from the race

Goals Scored - 8

The Spanish Striker has failed to find the back of the net since our last assessment and is holding on to his rank only by virtue of better goals per minute ratio. Roger Marti played 3 games in December and scored just one goal, in the 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao at the start of December.

Marti started in the 4-4 draw away at Eibar but could not find the back of the net. He then watched from the bench as his side were dismantled 5-0 by a rampant Barcelona side. The Spaniard returned to the starting line up against Real Vallecano but failed to score again, as his side slumped to a 2-1 defeat.

The Spaniard has attempted just 28 shots in the 14 games he has played so far, but 17 of those have been on target. Due to his recent decline in form, he is now averaging a goal every 124 minutes played. At the start of the new year, Roger Marti is 5th among the top contenders for the LaLiga Golden Boot.
