Two assists on Saturday
Nanasi assisted twice to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Lens.
Analysis: Nanasi provided assists for both of the team's goals in the match. The 24-year-old created four chances in total. Nanasi produced three crosses, and all of them were accurate.
Starts on Friday
Nanasi had one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Marseille.
Analysis: Nanasi recorded 16 passes and also made a tackle before being replaced by Fabio Balde in the 79th minute. Nanasi ended the last season on a fabulous note with five goal contributions in the final four games of the campaign and will aim to build on the same momentum in the new campaign.
Scores brace in finale
Nanasi scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and one corner in Sunday's 5-4 win over Monaco.
Analysis: Nanasi scored a pair of second half goals to secure a shocking comeback versus Monaco, his second consecutive match with multiple goal contributions. He finished the campaign with nine goal contributions (seven goals and two assists) across 19 appearances (11 starts), four of which came during the final two matches of the season.
Scores, assists in win
Nanasi scored a goal off his lone shot, made an assist and created four chances during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brest.
Analysis: Nanasi had a man-of-the-match performance here as he assisted Valentin Barco for the opener in the 9th minute and in the 20th headed home a cross from the right to make it 2-1 for Strasbourg. The playmaker started to have more chances during the final stretch of the campaign, having started in six of the last seven games and the two goals scored over the last three definitely help his case for a bigger role next season.
Option again
Nanasi (illness) is an option for play again, according to manager Gary O'Neil, per ICI Alsace.
Analysis: Nanasi has been ill the past week but is in for a return come Wednesday, set to face Brest. This is a major return to close the season, as he is a starter when fit as of late, recording four goals and one assist. That said, he will hope to reclaim a starting role in the attacking midfield.
Ill to face Angers
Nanasi is out for Sunday's match against Angers due to an illness, according to manager Gary O'Neil, per Jonathan Helbling of Alsa Sports. "Sebastian is sick."
Analysis: Nanasi is not going to make the call Sunday after he contracted an illness, enough to keep him out. This is a rough absence for the midfielder, as he started in their past five, scoring a goal during that span. That said, Martial Godo is a possible replacement in the attack.
Scores once in win
Nanasi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 3-2 win over Lorient.
Analysis: Nanasi sparked the comeback with the opening goal, ending a scoring drought that stretched back to early February for his fourth league goal of the season. It was his fourth straight league start, a run in which he has accumulated four shots and two chances created.
