The current FTBL rating of Arsenal playmaker Cesc Fàbregas of 148.22 points is just a sliver from his career high, which he hit a year ago. Does this suggest he is overheating? And if so can the Spaniard hold on to his current achievements.

Fàbregas faces a daunting combined plank of 86.8 rating points to beat in his next five games and, we believe, he his capable of beating the plank, especially since those games will be played in London with only one serious opponent in Liverpool.

In addition, Fàbregas scores regularly: 3 goals in his last 4 games. We therefore believe his rating is unlikely to fall in the next two weeks and can even rise slightly, allowing him to perhaps beat his personal record.
