Gets late run in defeat Rodriguez generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Chelsea.

Impact Rodriguez recorded one off-target shot during an 18-minute appearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Chelsea. He replaced Marcus Tavernier in the 72nd minute with Bournemouth already four goals down, leaving him little opportunity to alter the direction of the match despite getting one attempt away. Rodriguez remains behind Evanilson in the center-forward pecking order and will likely continue seeing most of his opportunities from the bench while the Brazilian remains available.

Early season bench role Rodriguez has appeared in two league matches from the bench this campaign.

Impact Rodriguez is still looking to carve out a bigger role with Bournemouth following his move to the club, as the forward has only earned time from the bench this season. He has played for 10 minutes in two appearances in league play while earning 19 minutes in UEL play, notching one shot in his minimal time on the field. The 22-year-old looks to be stuck in more of a reserve role, likely to only see value if injuries in the attack take place and he sees a boost in minutes.

10 Premier League Transfers You May Have Missed During The World Cup

Signs long term with Bournemouth Rodriguez signed a long term deal with Bournemouth after departing Elche, the club announced.

Impact Rodriguez scored seven goals and added five assists across 34 appearances for Elche last season, including strikes against both Real Madrid and Barcelona. The forward came through Girona's academy before joining Real Madrid's La Fabrica in 2020, making his senior debut under coach Carlo Ancelotti in January 2023 and scoring a dramatic derby equalizer against Atletico Madrid off a Luka Modric corner. He also spent time on loan at Getafe before his move to Elche last summer. Head of football operations Tiago Pinto praised his pedigree and potential, and Rodriguez is expected to add depth to Bournemouth's attack as the club prepares for a European campaign.

Scores opener Rodriguez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Girona.

Impact Rodriguez gave Elche the lead in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Girona on the final day of the La Liga season, firing a composed first-time finish past Paulo Gazzaniga in the first half after a headed pass from Pedro Bigas, a goal that ultimately proved enough to secure his side's top-flight survival despite Arnau Martinez's second-half equalizer. Rodriguez ends the 2025-26 La Liga season with seven goals, five assists and 33 key passes, delivering his most important goal at the most crucial moment of the campaign to help keep his side in the division.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Scores vs. Alaves Rodriguez scored one goal to go with seven shots (four on goal) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Rodriguez was a huge problem for the Alaves defense all game long, and he was credited with a goal while seeing four of his seven shots on target. This was Rodriguez's first goal since Jan. 31, but with nine shots across his last three starts, he's making a case to remain in the XI when Elche take on Betis on Tuesday.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Assists on Sunday Rodriguez assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Oviedo.

Impact Rodriguez assisted Gonzalo Villar in the 16th minute for the second goal. Rodriguez completed 18 passes and contributed defensively with one tackle and one interception. This was his first goal contribution in nearly three months, bringing his total goal contributions for the campaign to double digits.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Active but can't score Rodriguez registered two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.

Impact Rodriguez took two shots in this game, but for the most part, he was unable to get things going and succumbed to Rayo Vallecano's defensive work. Rodriguez should remain in a starting role, but he isn't very effective in front of the goal, so his fantasy upside will remain fairly low.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Five shots in away loss Alvaro Rodriguez registered five shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Villarreal.

Impact Alvaro Rodriguez took five shots but was unable to score against Villarreal. He has scored five goals this season, but hasn't scored in any of the last five games that he has played in. He put a shot on target for the sixth time in the last eight games that he has played. This was also the fourth time this season that he has taken five or more shots.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Equalizes on Saturday Rodriguez scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Barcelona.

Impact Rodriguez was set free by German Valera's pass and then skillfully equalized in the 29th minute. Rodriguez also made three tackles, one interception and one clearance. He has now contributed to five goals in the last six games and is up to nine goal contributions for the campaign.

Scores in loss Alvaro Rodriguez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Friday's 3-2 defeat versus Levante.

Impact Rodriguez returned to the scoresheet after failing to record a goal contribution in his previous three games, during which he attempted seven shots and created four chances. The forward also plays an important role in pressing and defensive work, recording at least one tackle in each of his last five games, though this activity has led to nine fouls committed during that span.

JANUARY 23 • Associated Press

Involved in three goals in win Rodriguez scored one goal and assisted twice from seven shots and three chances created in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Rodriguez put in a superb display of his offensive skills, scoring the second goal of the match through a left-footed touch in the 67th minute and creating the chances for Hector Fort and German Valera in the sixth and 70th minutes, respectively, of this clash. The striker now leads the squad with four assists while tying as the third-best with three goals. He bounced back to the starting lineup as part of a front two alongside Rafa Mir after being among the substitutes in the previous two games, and the solid output may have earned him the opportunity to maintain high playing time in the next few games.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench in draw Rodriguez scored a goal off his lone shot and created one chance after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Rodriguez returned to the bench despite scoring on the previous match and here he was brought just in the 79th minute to replace Andre Silva. Despite the short playing time, the forward still found a way to make an impact as he gave his side a 2-1 lead with a finish from just outside the box just five minutes after he took the pitch. That's now back-to-back games with a goal for Rodriguez, who went scoreless after his first nine appearances of the season, and he'll hope this helps him to get more playing time moving forward.

Starts against Osasuna Rodriguez (knee) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Osasuna.

Impact Rodriguez was expected to be an option Thursday and has made the call, with the forward fit enough for a starting spot immediately. He has now started in five of his six appearances and should continue in this role, still in search of his first goal this season.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back available Thursday Rodriguez (knee) is back available for Thursday's clash against Osasuna, coach Eder Sarabia said in the press conference.

Impact Rodriguez has recovered from his knee issue after missing the last game against Oviedo and is back available for Thursday's clash against Osasuna. The forward will however find back a bench role since the preferred pair to start in the frontline will likely remain Rafa Mir and Andre Silva moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Rodriguez is dealing with a knee injury and is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Oviedo, coach Eder Sarabia said in the press conference.

Impact Rodriguez is dealing with a knee injury and will not play against Oviedo on Sunday as the coach doesn't want to take any risks with him given the busy schedule ahead. The forward started the first three games of the season, and his absence will allow Andre Silva to take on a larger role in the frontline until he returns.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in two straight Rodriguez had an assist while taking five shots (two on goal) and creating two chances during Friday's 2-0 win over Levante.

Impact Rodriguez set up Rafa Mir in the 46th minute assisting the opening goal of the match while leading Elche with five shots. The attacker has two assists while combining for seven shots and four chances created through his opening three matches.

AUGUST 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Credited with assist in draw Rodriguez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Rodriguez is not known for being a facilitator, but the promising striker showed what he can do as a passer with a beautiful assist to Rafa Mir in Elche's first-half equalizer. Rodriguez is expected to be a regular starter for Elche, but fantasy manager shouldn't be confused -- he's expected to earn most of his fantasy value by scoring goals and taking shots, not assisting his teammates.

AUGUST 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Completes Elche move Rodriguez completed a transfer to Elche from Real Madrid, the club announced.

Impact Rodriguez spent last season on loan with Getafe, scoring twice in 22 appearances and taking 25 shots. Elche have a severely depleted attack, giving Rodriguez at least a chance for more minutes in the coming campaign. He's generally more comfortable as a striker in an attacking pair, but can lead the line alone if needed. Rodriguez is still coming into his own in the top flight, and could struggle to get on the ball with the newly-promoted side.
