Serves well as holding-midfielder Alvarez appeared in 31 games (28 starts), registering one goal on 17 shots and one assist on 12 chances created.

Impact Alvarez was brought in to act as a holding-midfielder in the highly defensive tactics of David Moyes, and that was exactly what he did, not being all that great in the attack with his two-goal contributions but providing greatly in the defense with his 42 interceptions, 70 clearances and 80 tackles. This was his first season with the club, and he has four years remaining on his contract despite rumors of a possible move this summer, though it could happen if interested clubs meet West Ham's demands after a disappointing year.

Draws four fouls in win Alvarez had three tackles (two won), five interceptions and four fouls drawn in Saturday's 2-1 win against Wolves.

Impact Alvarez returned from his two-match suspension and had one of his better fantasy days, as he didn't even commit a foul. While he doesn't have upside as a defensive midfielder, he'll rack up defensive stats no matter the opponent. He's suspended for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Leverkusen, but he's set to feature in the XI every match the rest of the way following that contest.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension served Alvarez is available for Saturday's trip to Wolves after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Alvarez served the one-match ban during a Tuesday clash with Tottenham and is now fully fit and available to make a return. The midfielder's first chance to get back on the pitch should see him straight back into the starting XI. Alvarez was replaced by James Ward-Prowse against Spurs.

He also had a great defensive outing leading his side in both tackles (five) and interceptions (five).

Came off with illness Alvarez came off with illness at halftime during Sunday's 6-0 loss to Arsenal, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Alvarez was struggling with the pace of the match Sunday and was brought off, seemingly as a tactical change. It now appears it was an illness, though he's now reportedly fine heading into Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest. The defensive midfielder will likely remain the first choice in the starting XI despite two poor performances in a row.

Impact Alvarez has started all but two of his 21 Premier League and Europa League appearances this season. As such, the defensive midfielder should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI once given the all-clear. James Ward-Prowse figures to move into a more attacking role once Alvarez is back in the squad.

Working on pitch Alvarez (calf) was pictured working on the pitch ahead of Thursday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Alvarez has been a surprise absence the last couple matches, as his calf injury came out of nowhere. However, it looks like it was minor and he could return to the XI as soon as Thursday. While he figures to remain a lock for the starting XI, that's no longer guaranteed following the addition of Kalvin Phillips for the rest of the season.

Solid in defense Alvarez recorded seven tackles (four won), two clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Alvarez was all over in the defense Tuesday, registering seven tackles, two interceptions and two clearances. He continues to be solid in the holding midfielder role, starting in the club's past five matches while notching 15 tackles, 10 clearances and four interceptions. However, he will have to look to improve on his attacking play, as he has been virtually invisible moving forward this season, only having one goal on 10 shots and two assists on four chances created.
