Unai Simon - Keeps clean sheet in rain Simon kept a clean sheet with one save made during Sunday's scoreless draw with Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Simon didn't face many efforts on goal during a rainy match but that didn't stop his defense from being tested and a shot from distance that rung the crossbar to make him tense. With three goals conceded and 15 saves made in his last five starts, Simon remains one of the top goalkeepers in La Liga and that's unlikely to change no matter how the rest of his team plays.

Oihan Sancet - Shotless in draw Sancet failed to take a shot during 60 minutes of Sunday's scoreless draw with Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Sancet had scored four goals in his previous two matches but couldn't find his touch during a rainy derby in Vitoria-Gasteiz. As Sancet is young and his team have struggled against lesser sides in bad weather, this shouldn't be much to worry about yet, though Sancet's consistency may not be a feature of his game just yet.

Yeray Alvarez - Makes six interceptions in draw Alvarez kept a clean sheet with six interceptions made during Sunday's scoreless draw with Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Alvarez also generated nine clearances during a rainy derby that had his team pinned deep in their own half for much of the final moments. This marked a first clean sheet for Alvarez in six matches, though the schedule remains tough and it may be difficult to make a habit of this even for a strong defensive side.

Iker Muniain - Takes three shots in draw Muniain took three shots (one on goal) and created three chances from five crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's scoreless draw against Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Muniain also drew four fouls and remains the league leader in fouls suffered following another rough contest. With eight chances created and 13 set pieces taken in his last three matches, Muniain offers decent base value but still needs to work on his final pass along with his teammates finishing off more of their chances. He'll now travel to Saudi Arabia for the Super Cup.
