Impact Aspas was the impetus for the Celta Vigo attack during their 0-0 draw versus Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. Not only was Aspas the key figure for his side's attack, but he was also the key figure for the Rayo Vallecano defense, as evidenced by his seven fouls defended. Aspas has been included as a member of the starting XI over his last five appearances, scoring twice and providing one assist.

Impact Aspas was back in the starting XI having served his one-match ban.

The forward is his team's top scorer with five and only Manu Sanchez has matched his five assists.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Completes suspension Aspas completed his one-game suspension and is eligible to face Real Madrid on Sunday.

Earns assist Aspas assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Getafe.

Impact Aspas only served a mere 35 minutes in Sunday's loss but still managed to provide something on the field, notching an assist in the 85th minute off of a Tadeo Allende goal. This gave Aspas his eighth goal contribution of the season, with his last coming three contests ago against Mallorca. He will now look to get back into the starting XI in the club's next match, as he is normally a regular starter when healthy.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Decent outing in loss Aspas registered two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Girona.

Impact Aspas was fairly productive in Sunday's loss but he failed to record a shot on target for his second consecutive match. Right before this down spell he scored goals in back-to-back games so it looked as if he had finally found his form, but unfortunately for him he has slowed right back down. Throughout the season, including Sunday, he has consistently recorded crosses, chances created and corners, but his sudden lack of end-product is severely hurting his upside.

JANUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw Saturday Aspas scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Mallorca.

Impact After a rough first half of the campaign with just one goal in 17 matches, Aspas found the back of the net in his first game of 2024 as he scored a penalty in the 16th minute. He finished the match with four shots (one on target), three chances created, five crosses (two accurate) and six corners. He has consistently produced shots, chances created and crosses all season, so if the goals can continue to come he could once again be a high-end fantasy option.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return from ban Aspas has completed his one-game suspension and will be eligible to face Real Betis on Jan. 3.

Impact Despite being sent off with a straight red against Granada on Dec. 16, the speedy winger was given just a one-game ban, meaning he should be eligible -- and quite likely in the starting lineup -- to face Real Betis once the league campaign resumes on Jan. 3. Aspas has four yellow cards to his name, too, so another yellow will result in another one-game suspension for him.

This resurgence suggests that he has found form and is making significant contributions to his team's offensive efforts.

Impact Aspas was Celta's most dangerous player by a wide margin, but just like the rest of the team, he was unable to find the back of the net. Despite the fact he has scored just once this season, he has four assists and averages nearly 3.0 shots per game, so he still has a strong floor in most matches. He will have a favorable match at home against Cadiz next week.
