Ilaix Moriba - Active display in midfield Moriba generated two shots (zero on goal) in Friday's 1-0 win over Osasuna. He also added two tackles, two clearances and one blocked shot.

Impact Moriba might play as a holding midfielder, but there's no question the former Barcelona player made his presence felt on both sides of the ball in this one. That said, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside as an attacking threat, with most of his value coming through passes and defensive stats.

Williot Swedberg - Takes two shots in win Swedberg recorded two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 win against Osasuna.

Impact Swedberg could've broken the deadlock in the first half with a one-on-one rush that was denied by Sergio Herrera, and the talented playmaker was one of Celta's best players throughout the game. As good as he's been of late, however, Swedberg doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. He's started in only 11 of his 23 league outings, though he's racked up three goals and three assists across 1,036 minutes of play.

Vicente Guaita - Keeps clean sheet in win Guaita made one save and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 1-0 victory versus Osasuna.

With no clean sheets, 15 saves and 10 goals allowed over his last six starts, Guaita is having a rough campaign but the defensive line in front of him have a significant share of responsibility on this.

Impact Aspas made his return from the calf injury that sidelined him since mid-December, replacing Fer Lopez just after the hour mark, and did that in style as he showed poise from the penalty spot to send the goalkeeper the wrong way to open the scoring for Celta just six minutes after he took the pitch. With seven goals and three assists over 17 league appearances, the forward will now seek to get back into rhythm ahead of the final third of the campaign.
