Impact Griezmann got on the scoresheet with an assist during Thursday's win. It was a nice showing from the attacking midfielder, who was never really in a tough spot, as he had plenty of space on the ball throughout. Griezmann remains productive even if he doesn't have the raw athleticism that he once had.

Impact Alvarez scored a late goal during Thursday's win, making the most of his chances to add to his total at the last minute.

Conor Gallagher - Nets header Gallagher scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Thursday's 3-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano.
Impact Gallagher got on the scoresheet when he rose highest to nod the ball into the net Thursday. The midfielder has looked totally revitalized with Atleti and is doing well to contribute offensively and defensively. Gallagher should continue to be a major piece of the starting XI as long as he stays fit.

Jose Maria Gimenez - Active on defense in loss Gimenez generated one tackle (zero won), five clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Las Palmas.
Impact Gimenez was active in terms of clearances, but he didn't do much else. The Uruguay international has value in terms of defensive stats, but that's the only area in which he stands out as a center-back on a defensive-minded team.

Julian Alvarez - Limited impact in loss Alvarez generated one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Las Palmas.
Impact Alexander Sorloth was Atletico Madrid's most dangerous player, and Alvarez failed to make much of an impact despite being a regular crossing threat and a set-piece taker. One bad game won't alter Alvarez's upside, though, as he's scored four goals over his last five league appearances.

Alexander Sorloth - Takes three shots in loss Sorloth had three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Las Palmas.
Impact Sorloth earned a spot start in this matchup over Antoine Griezmann, and while he was active, he couldn't find the back of the net. The Norwegian striker has struggled in a starting role, and he's netted his last nine goals (between LaLiga and the UCL) when coming off the bench.

Jan Oblak - Concedes once in loss Oblak had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Las Palmas.
Impact Oblak was only a few minutes away from securing a shutout, but a stoppage-time goal from Javi Munoz not only prevented him from achieving that feat, but pretty much ended Atletico's chances of staying alive in the title race. Oblak can't be blamed for that, though. The Slovenian goalkeeper has conceded one or fewer goals in three of his last five league appearances.

Rodrigo De Paul - Available off bench Saturday De Paul (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Las Palmas.
Impact De Paul was expected to be available for this match, so his inclusion on the bench isn't really surprising. He won't start, though, with manager Diego Simeone choosing to play Pablo Barrios and Koke in the middle of the park instead.

Impact Lino was sidelined in the last two games due to muscular problems but was spotted training fully with the team on Friday, suggesting he should be back with the squad on Saturday against Las Palmas.

Impact Lino looks to be avoiding any major absence due to his injury, with the defender already training individually Wednesday.

Impact De Pual is seeing a positive boost this week after he dealt with a thigh injury that kept him out of their last contest, as he trained individually for the first half of the session before joining the group for the second half Wednesday. This leaves him in a decent spot for Saturday's match. That said, he should be close, likely a late call to face Las Palmas.
APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Suspension cleared Correa completed his five-matches suspension and will be eligible to face Las Palmas on Saturday.
Impact Correa missed the last five games due to suspension and is now available to face Las Palmas on Saturday. That said, he has mostly been a bench option this season and is expected to remain in that role moving forward.

Across his last four games, Riquelme has logged 13 crosses (two accurate) and five chances created.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
