Six shots in win Perez took six shots (three on target) and created one chance in Friday's 3-2 win at Elche.

Impact Perez led the team in shots and shots on target Friday, as he recorded a season high six shots with three on target. It is by far his best performance since joining the side in January, and is a positive sign for more production moving forward. Granted, he was helped by playing against 10 men for a half hour following Lisandro Magallan's 57th minute red card, but the production is good sign nonetheless.

Impact Perez joins Betis with the hope for more time after playing just 380 minutes in league play for Leicester City this season.

Perez figures to be a Nabil Fekir replacement, either as a substitute or in case Fekir suffers another injury.

Impact Perez was the James Maddison replacement and then he got hurt, so Leicester were struggling for playmakers on the wing in recent contests.

Impact Perez was used primarily as a substitute option to open the season but had started the club's previous two Premier League contests. In that pair of appearances, the attacking midfielder recorded four shots (two on target), 13 crosses (two accurate) and 10 corners. With the continued absence of James Maddison (knee) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (strain), Perez could offer decent top-end fantasy value if cleared to play against Forest.

Strong volume in loss Perez recorded six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Perez made just his second start and had plenty of volume, creating three chances during the loss. The winger was one of the few dangerous parts of a quiet attack, and made his case for more playing time in the future. Still Perez has gone unused on the bench more often than not and is only worth considering in these rare starts.

Impact Perez came off the bench for the final 27 minutes of the season finale and scored twice, his first two goals of the campaign. The attacking midfielder hasn't gotten on the pitch too often, with only 14 appearances and six starts. Perez is unlikely to truly break into the starting XI in any respect moving forward, and is a veteran depth option.

Getting limited minutes Perez started in Leicester's recent Cup win against Watford and also went 45 minutes in the 6-3 loss to Manchester City last month.

Impact Perez is getting minutes, but recent starts have almost been out of necessity. He has three league starts this season and even with injuries, he seems far down the depth chart, mainly because Ademola Lookman has taken that role on the wing after Perez started 15 contests last campaign.
