Impact Atuesta continues to be one of the best all-around weapons for Los Angeles FC. The midfielder not only creates multiple chances a game, but he is also aggressive off the ball to help kickstart counter-attacks. Luckily for fantasy owners, he already has a mild floor with his involvement on set-pieces too. Atuesta may not score or assist many goals, but he will continue to generate value in every other aspect on the pitch. Over his past five appearances he is averaging, 1.6 shots, 2.2 created chances, 2.6 crosses, 1.8 corners and 2.0 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions.

Impact Atuesta set up Tristan Blackmon's headed goal on Wednesday with a cross, but he couldn't prevent Hassani Dotson's last-minute equalizer for Minnesota. Still, it was Atuesta's second assist in as many games, and he will want to grab another one next week against Sporting KC, which are second in the Western Conference.

Records assist Atuesta (adductor) recorded one assist during a 2-2 draw Saturday versus Vancouver.

Impact Despite suffering from an unhealthy adductor before Saturday, Atuesta started against Vancouver. He logged the assist to a Carlos Vela goal and showed that injury will not be problematic for now.

JULY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with groin issue Atuesta is listed as questionable for Wednesday's match against Portland because of an adductor injury.

Impact Atuesta has started every match for LAFC this season, so this injury is worth monitoring. If he can't go Wednesday, they'll have to change something in the XI, if not changing the formation completely, as they have more attacking players than midfielders. On a short week, there's a real chance Atuesta is rested against Portland.

Sends seven crosses for win Atuesta had three shots (off target), seven crosses (one accurate), four dribbles, two fouls drawn, five corners and team-high 63 passes completed in Saturday's 2-1 win over Real S...

Impact Atuesta had a terrific all around performance and a stat line and may be returning to form after a quieter period. The central midfielder has just one goal and one assist in his 13 starts thus far but he's been very active in front of goal delivering great numbers in shots, chances created and crosses and after six goals and 10 assists over his previous two seasons more major contributions should be expected of him as the season continues.

JULY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sends three crosses in defeat Atuesta had one shot (off target), three crosses (none accurate), three fouls drawn and two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Atuesta continues his impressive form of late. He's now mounted one assist, four shots, five chances created and nine crosses over his past three outings alone while also adding some defensive numbers. The central midfielder also has a goal from earlier in the season and has flashed a ton of upside.

JUNE 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up opening goal Atuesta had an assist while taking an off target shot, crossing three times (one accurate) and creating three chances during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Dallas.

Impact Atuesta set up Carlos Vela after just four minutes, helping to open the scoring in the match. The assist was the first of the season for the midfielder, while his three chances created paced LAFC in the win.

Takes two shots versus Houston Atuesta had two shots (one on target), two chances created, three crosses (none accurate), three dribbles, three corners, three fouls drawn, four tackles (two won) and five interce...

Impact Atuesta remains incredibly active and persistent in front of goal but he's now without a score or assist in six straight matches after only scoring this season once in week 2. He's mounted 10 shots, 11 chances created and 27 crosses in last five matches alone however and remains very productive in formats with peripheral stats.

JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in Saturday win Atuesta had a secondary assist to go with three shots not on target, one chance created and five crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 win against Colorado.

Impact Atuesta didn't have a shot on goal Saturday for the first time this season. His upside is somewhat limited in a midfield role and while he'll get opportunities in this attack, his number of set pieces will likely drop off as Carlos Vela sees more time in the squad.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Provides five crosses during loss Atuesta took one shot (on target), provided five crosses (one accurate), and created two scoring chances.

Impact Atuesta has been a great source of shots and crosses to begin the season, which continued to be the case during Sunday's loss. He and Carlos Vela should share set-piece duties now that Vela is fit again, though that didn't affect Atuesta's output in the first three matches of the season. Although Atuesta has one goal through five matches, he'll still be a viable play against Colorado on Saturday.
