Assists as substitute Saturday
Amiri assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Amiri made an immediate impact as he took Aleksandar Pavlovic's place in the 60th minute and delivered a ball into the box that led to the equalizer in the 68th of the game. The Mainz midfielder has been limited to a backup role so far, but the assist could boost his chances of competing for a starting spot in future clashes. In that case, he can hold all-around potential if his team continues to dominate against weaker opposition, although he lacks a solid fantasy floor as he's not an undisputed starter and rarely takes set pieces at the international level.
Nets goal
Amiri scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory against FC Heidenheim.
Analysis: Amiri ended his season in great fashion after being one of the club's more productive players this season, scoring the second goal in Saturday's match. This brings the midfielder to an outstanding 12 goals on the season, earning that on 55 shots. He also added two assists on 63 chances created in 26 appearances (24 starts) this season.
Main creator for Mainz
Amiri crossed 10 times (four accurate) and created six chances during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Union Berlin.
Analysis: Amiri was held off the scoresheet, but was the main creator for Mainz as he led his side in crosses and chances created during the loss. The midfielder is the key man over set pieces for Mainz as he's combined for 10 shots, 13 chacnes created and 20 crosses over his last three starts.
Scores in XI return
Amiri scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Monchengladbach.
Analysis: Amiri made his first start since suffering a heel injury that kept him out for five games, having returned briefly as a substitute in his previous outing, and marked the occasion with a late equalizing penalty. The midfielder also registered one other shot and created two chances throughout the game. Prior to the injury, he had been in outstanding form, contributing five goals and one assist across five consecutive games.
