Toni Martinez - On bench Saturday Martinez (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Barcelona.

Impact Martinez had been around some concerns of an injury after receiving stitches in his ankle, but he is already an option for the club again with the forward cleared to play Saturday. He is now returning to a bench role due to lingering uncertainty surrounding his level after the operation. He had started their past six matches, and should claim back that role once back to his full capacities.

Toni Martinez - Fit for Saturday Martinez (ankle) is an option, manager Chacho Coudet told the media ahead of Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Martinez had been around some concerns of an injury after receiving stitches in his ankle, but he is already an option for the club again, with the forward cleared to play Saturday. This is solid news for the club, as he has started in their past six games. However, it is unknown if he will be able to perform the same after the operation, possibly a bench option for Saturday, with Mariano as a possible replacement.

Youssef Enriquez - Sends five crosses in loss Enriquez generated five crosses (two accurate) and one clearance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Celta Vigo.

Impact Enriquez has started each of Alaves' last six matches and seems to be the first choice at left-back over Moussa Diarra. He's a reliable attacking threat from the left side of the defense with an average of 3.2 crosses and 2.0 clearances per game in those six starts.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Sivera - Beaten once in loss Sivera registered three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Celta Vigo.

Impact There wasn't much Sivera could've done on the goal scored by Iago Aspas, as it was an excellent penalty and Sivera wouldn't have stopped it even if he had dived the right way. Sivera has been decent in fantasy despite Alaves' struggles, as he's allowed one or fewer goals in eight matches. He'll have a tough matchup next weekend at Barcelona, however, so he shouldn't have a lot of upside for the upcoming round.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Toni Martinez - Receives three stitches to ankle Martinez was forced off late in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo due to an ankle injury that required three stitches, according to Jon Prada from El Correo.

Impact Martinez suffered an ankle injury in a challenge with Joseph Aidoo late in Saturday's defeat against Celta Vigo and was forced off in the 89th minute. The striker received three stitches to his left ankle and will hope that the issue will allow him to play against Barcelona on Saturday. If he had to miss the game or start on the bench, Mariano would be the likely option to replace him.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Boye - Suspension cleared Boye is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Boye has served his suspension following his straight red card against Espanyol and is set to return in the next contest. The striker is expected to return directly to the starting squad since he started the last five games prior to his suspension for Alaves.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Youssef Enriquez - Five crosses in away loss Enriquez registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Girona.

Impact Enriquez attempted five crosses from left-back. The defender has started six games this season, with five of those starts coming in a row. He has created at least one chance in each of the last four matches, having not created any chances before that. His five crosses in this game were also the most that he has attempted in any game this season.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Toni Martinez - Three shots without a goal Martinez recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Girona.

Impact Martinez took three shots but was unable to score away to Girona. The forward has scored twice so far this season, but he has failed to score in each of the last four matches. This is the fourth time this season he has taken three or more shots. This was the first time that he hadn't hit the target when taking three shots this season.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Sivera - One save in away loss Sivera had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Girona.

Impact Sivera made one save, while also conceding once as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat at Girona. The keeper has only conceded more than one goal twice this season, but has only kept two clean sheets in 12 games. One of his clean sheets his come in the last eight games. This is back-to-back matches where he has conceded once while only making one save.

Jon Pacheco - Returns to bench Saturday Pacheco (shoulder) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Girona.

Impact Pacheco missed the last game with a shoulder injury but was included in the matchday squad for Saturday's contest against Girona. The issue proved to be minor, although he will begin the match on the bench as he eases back into the team. The defender had started five straight games prior to the injury and could push for more minutes in the coming weeks.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Pacheco - Will travel to Girona Pacheco (shoulder) is an option and will travel with the team for Saturday's clash against Girona, coach Eduardo Coudet said in the press conference.

Impact Pacheco missed the last game due to a shoulder injury that revealed to be minor than expected since he is back available for Saturday's clash against Girona. This is great news for Alaves since he started the last five games prior to his injury and could find back a starting role against the Catalans.

Toni Martinez - Quiet performance in win Martinez had zero shots, made two clearances and drew one foul during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Martinez had one of his worst performances of the season, failing to even attempt a shot during roughly one hour and that made it very difficult for the coach to retain him on the pitch. With just two goals and one assist over 11 league appearances, the striker keeps underachieving despite getting more playing time than he did last season and more games like this one could put his starting spot in serious jeopardy.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Parada - Busy defensively in win Parada had one off-target shot, made seven clearances and one interception and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Parada had a very solid performance at the heart of the defense, leading all players in clearances and not giving much room for opposing forwards to have high-quality shot attempts. In what was just his fourth start of the season, the center-back made most by the opportunity given with Jon Pacheco (shoulder) and Facundo Garces' (suspension) absences and more games like this one could definitely make him become a first choice for the foreseeable future.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Sivera - Allows one in win Sivera made one save and conceded one goal during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Sivera couldn't do much to stop a very well-placed header from Roberto Fernandez in the 56th minute but other than that he didn't have much work to do as the opposition simply couldn't find the target despite putting up a lot of attempts. It's hard getting too happy when a goalkeeper makes just one save in a game and rarely keeps clean sheets. However, on the other hand the fact that he has allowed multiple goals allowed just once over starts indicates some reliability fantasy-wise.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Boye - Scores, gets sent off in win Boye scored one goal but was shown a red card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Boye found the back of the net through a right-footed finish in the 40th minute, though a second yellow card in stoppage time spoiled his performance. The forward is now suspended for the next match against Girona and could return in a Nov. 22 meeting with Celta. He has been consistent as part of a two-man front line alongside Toni Martinez, who could be joined by Mariano if the formation remains unchanged while Boye is ineligible.

Deportivo Alaves vs Espanyol Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2025 The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Deportivo Alaves play host to Espanyol on Sunday.

Jon Pacheco - Will miss several games Pacheco suffered a torn ligament in his left shoulder during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Rayo Vallecano and will miss several games to recover, the club announced.

Impact Pacheco was forced off at halftime in Sunday's loss against Rayo Vallecano after suffering a shoulder injury. The defender underwent further exams on Tuesday that revealed a torn ligament in his left shoulder, which will sideline him for several games as he recovers. Pacheco has been a regular starter for Alaves in the backline, so this setback will force a change in the starting XI, with Victor Parada the most likely option to step into central defense during his absence.

Jon Pacheco - Forced off injured at halftime Pacheco (undisclosed) was forced off injured in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Rayo Vallecano, the club announced.

Impact Pacheco suffered an injury at the end of the first half in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Vallecano and was forced off at halftime. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury, and given that he started the last five games for Alaves in La Liga, a potential absence of the center-back would be a blow for the team. Victor Parada is expected to see increased playing time if Pacheco has to miss time to recover.
