Impact Cuenca has played the rare part of a Getafe defender who only has one yellow card over his eight appearances this season, and he's even done a fair bit of defensive work with 17 tackles and 39 clearances made. Should his club ever start winning games, Cuenca may be a valuable part of that outcome. For now, he'll focus on Sunday's visit from Espanyol, which have scored 11 goals in 11 games this season.
