RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Iniesta was named to the FIFA FIFPro World XI on Monday.
Iniesta has always been a player better than his fantasy stats, as he finished last season with just three goals and seven assists in 35 La Liga appearances, while adding just three assists in nine Champions League games. His inclusion in the World XI was a little surprising, given that Barcelona failed to win a trophy and Spain was eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup.

Iniesta scored from the spot in the 20th minute of Barcelona's 4-0 win over Granada on Saturday.
The goal was Iniesta's first of the season in all competitions and he likely got the opportunity from the spot because Lionel Messi is out through the end of 2013 with a hamstring injury.

Iniesta is expected to sign a new five-year contract with Barcelona, ESPN FC reports.
Iniesta's current contract runs out in 2015 and club vice president Josep Bartomeu intimated that the new deal will make him one of the highest paid players in Europe. While he's a vitally important part of the Barca attack, he's a relatively weak fantasy player, failing to score a goal or record an assist through nine La Liga appearances this year.

Iniesta is expected to sign a contract extension with Barcelona in the next few weeks, Sky Sports reports.
Iniesta's current deal expires in 2015, so the club is looking to make sure he sticks around longer. He has already made 305 appearances with the club, which he debuted with back in 2002. He scored three Liga goals last season, to go along with 16 assists, although he hasn't done nearly as much this year in three matches, registering two shots, no goals and no assists so far.
