Jan Oblak - Secures clean sheet in win Oblak made two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Valencia.

Impact Oblak notched his 11th clean sheet of La Liga as he faced little pressure against a struggling Valencia team. The goalkeeper has now gone 12 straight games without allowing more than a goal in any match. Next, he'll face off against Athletic Club, a team coming off scoring seven goals in their last match.

Pablo Barrios - Suspension over Barrios is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Barrios has cleared his ban due to the straight red card he picked up in the last game, with the midfield set to return in their next contest. He has been the regular starter this season and should be expected to return to the starting XI immediately now that he is an option.

Impact Koke is likely to miss upcoming fixtures after suffering a leg injury in Saturday's game. He will undergo physiotherapy and rehabilitation, with his progress determining a timeline for his return. However, the captain has not been a regular starter this season, so his absence should not impact the starting XI significantly.

Rodrigo De Paul - Creates three chances in draw De Paul created three chances, sent in two inaccurate crosses, suffered six fouls and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact De Paul bounced back from his quiet performance on the previous outing and displaying his playmaking chops, creating more chances than anyone and forcing the opposition to use a bunch of fouls to stop him. The midfielder is no longer the fantasy stud he was when playing as a number 10 in Italy, but his increased versatility allows him to provide nice numbers across the board in either side of the ball.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Alvarez - Quiet outing in draw Alvarez had one off-target shot, sent in three inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (both won) and one clearance during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact Alvarez could never get it going here as he was rarely noticed up front and the fact that his most notable contributions were on the defensive end tells a lot about his performance. Anyway, the forward, who had scored three times over the previous five games in all competitions, will hope to eventually haver his UCL production translating into domestic play.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Giuliano Simeone - Takes three shots in draw Simeone had three off-target shots and suffered four fouls during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact Simeone started for the 14th consecutive game between La Liga and UCL and was very active up front, pacing his team in shots attempted. However, accuracy wasn't there for him this time as he couldn't help his side finding the final product. Despite having just two goals and five assists over 26 appearances this season, the attacker always finds different ways of being a valued contributor even if most times this doesn't mean a significant fantasy impact.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Makes three saves in draw Oblak made three saves and conceded a penalty goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact Oblak had a solid performance between the posts, being beaten only from the penalty spot during the second half, but this wasn't enough for his team to will all three points in play. The goalkeeper hasn't been the clean sheet machine from his prime years, but is still very hard to beat as he didn't allow multiple goals in any of his last 11 starts in all competitions.

Jose Maria Gimenez - Assists in draw Gimenez made an assist, created two chances, made one tackle, seven clearances, three interceptions and two blocks and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Ce...

Impact Gimenez had one of his most impressive performances of the year, being a beast at the heart of the defense while also providing a decisive contribution on the attacking end, with an assist for Alexander Sorloth to score the equalizer late in the game. After three consecutive games as an unused substitute in all competitions, the center-back had back-to-back starts and did a great job in both, accumulating two tackles, 13 clearances, four interceptions and three blocks.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Sorloth - Scores equalizer off bench Sorloth scored a goal off two shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact Sorloth was brought as part of a triple substitution in the 78th minute and ended up as the hero for Atleti as he used a powerful one-timed finish after picking up a long pass to draw things level at 1-1 roughly three minutes after he took the pitch. This was the first goal since the calendar flipped to 2025 for the striker, who will hope to get more significant playing time during upcoming matches.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Barrios - Shown red Saturday Barrios was shown a straight red card and sent off early in Saturday's clash with Celta Vigo.

Impact Barrios got sent off in the 7th minute and will be suspended for at least the Saturday trip to Valencia, and could have extra games tacked onto that.

Jan Oblak - Brilliant in draw Oblak registered eight saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Real Madrid.

Impact Oblak recorded a season high for saves in league play against Real Madrid, making eight saves to hold them to just a goal during the derby on Saturday. He's been one of the top keepers in La Liga this years, allowing only 15 goals in 22 appearances, averaging just about 2.5 saves per game.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Le Normand - Clears suspension Le Normand completed his one-game suspension for yellow cards accumulation and will be eligible to face Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Impact Le Normand missed Saturday's 1-1 draw in the derby against Real Madrid but is back and available for Saturday's game. It is unsure yet if he will step in the starting defense right away since he is in competition with Jose Maria Gimenez.
