Makes four clearances Martinez sent one cross while adding two interceptions and four clearances in Wednesday's draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Martinez has started each of Athletic's last two matches and has racked up seven clearances and three interceptions while adding one shot and one cross. The defender doesn't hold much fantasy upside due to his role, but he's a stable presence on defense for Bilbao.

Trying to appeal four-match ban Martinez was suspended for four matches across all competitions after getting sent off in the Feb. 26 draw with Levante but his club are attempting to appeal the decision.

Impact The main goal for appealing the suspension is for Martinez to play in Thursday's Copa del Rey match, which is also coincidentally against Levante, but he's also an important piece to their current lineup. In a season where his defensive production has fallen off from past seasons, the availability of Martinez may not change as much for fantasy as it could for his team. If successful in their efforts, he could be available much sooner than Mar. 20, when his suspension is currently set to expire in time for a home match against Eibar.

Sent off in draw Martinez was sent off in Friday's 1-1 draw with Levante.

Impact Martinez was handed his marching orders in the final moments of stoppage time to earn his second disciplinary suspension of the season. He'll miss at least Sunday's match against Granada and Yeray Alvarez is a likely replacement in the starting lineup until Martinez is eligible again.

Starting against Barca Martinez is listed in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Barcelona.

Unavailable against Celta Martinez wasn't made available for selection ahead of Friday's match against Celta Vigo.

Keeps clean sheet at home Martinez kept a clean sheet with three interceptions made and two-of-three tackles won during Monday's 4-0 win over Real Betis.

Impact Martinez doesn't hold much value even in defensive formats, but he was still able to take advantage of a very favorable matchup against a shorthanded opponent. He could be in line for another clean sheet against Getafe, which have scored just eight goals in nine matches.
