The Uruguayan dropped down the ranks from 7th at the start of January due to a lack of form in front of goal, while his team experienced the worst run in the entire season. He set up Beltran to score the equalizer against Athletic Bilbao at the start of the month, however, Celta Vigo lost the game 1-2.

Gomez scored in the next game against Real Vallecano, but Celta Vigo lost the game 2-4. The Uruguayan failed to score in the next two games, against Valencia and Real Valladolid and his team lost both games.

He is averaging a goal every 178 minutes played and has scored 9 goals from 19 games. The Uruguayan has a goals-per-game ratio of 0.47 and has registered 32 shots, 16 of which have been on target.

At the start of February, Gomez is 9th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot, however, he needs a strong showing in the coming months to stay in the race
