Fresh from his victory in the Tortugas Open, the second leg of the Argentine Triple Crown, where he defeat Ellerstina UAE Yellow Rose with his team La Hache, we take a look at some of the highlights of Francisco Elizalde's UK season playing for Green Gates.
Elizalde is a great attacking force on any team. Not a player to be left alone, he is deadly in front of goal and an expert at picking up any opportunity and creating runs as shown by his 45 throw ins won during the UK season. His horse power means he is quick to any ball and able to accelerate away from defenders once he has possession.
An impressive 52 goals, 31 from the field including 3 from outside the 60, and a field shot accuracy of 48% overall (this shoots up to 59.6% when counting just those shots within the 60). He made his mark from the penalty line with 21 out of 28 shots in (75% accuracy). Clever plays resulted in 22 fouls called in his favour, a skill that can really change the dynamic of a game.
Not to be underestimated, he is a clever player who knows how to make the most of his particular skills for the good of a team.
He excels in areas including:
