Fabregas had a better first half of the season. He usually drops off drastically in the second half of seasons for whatever reason. For example, this season: 4 goals, 17 assists (25 apps, all comps) through Dec. 28. 0 goals, 3 assists (11 apps, all comps) since Jan. 1. I don't really that trend changing too much.
I remember having making this argument with some random individual on Facebook during Fabregas' last season at Barcelona. He always has a better first half to the season.
2010/11: First Half (16 games, 6 goals, 9 assists) Second Half (20 games, 3 goals, 5 assists)
2011/12: First Half (21 games, 11 goals, 5 assists) Second Half (27 games, 4 goals, 6 assists)
2012/13: First Half (22 games, 7 goals, 9 assists) Second Half (26 games, 7 goals, 2 assists)
2013/14: First Half (24 games, 9 goals, 10 assists) Second Half (30 games, 4 goals, 4 assists)
At the moment, Lallana is struggling to keep up with Fabregas second half season stats though.
