Rui Silva - Keeps clean sheet in win Silva kept a clean sheet with two saves made during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Silva earned his first clean sheet since joining Betis and helped to secure just his second win in six starts. Like a few other players on this team, now is a good time to get into rhythm before the next international window, but things won't be easy in the next match against a high-scoring Rayo Vallecano.

Hector Bellerin - Creates two chances in win Bellerin created two chances from five crosses (two accurate) during Monday's 1-0 win over Real Betis.
Impact Bellerin is starting to make his presence felt for Betis with three chances created on nine crosses in his last two starts. Now that he has a few weeks until the next international break, he could be a reliable asset if he can stay fit. He'll next face Rayo Vallecano, which are tied for the fifth-fewest crosses conceded to defenders in La Liga.

Sergio Canales - Active in win Canales put three shots off target and created two chances during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportio Alaves.
Impact Canales only played 65 minutes during this match, which isn't what's needed for generating fantasy value from an important attacking player. That being said, he hasn't completed a full 90 since the second match of the season and didn't play in the final matches before the international break, so he's currently fitting into expectations. Up next is a visit from Rayo Vallecano, which have conceded nine goals in nine matches this season.

Joaquin - Logs assist off bench Joaquin logged one assist from two chances created in 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Joaquin has started both Europa League matches but come off the bench in all six of his La Liga appearances this season, so his value isn't ideal even with a major impact on this match. Unless injuries force him into the lineup, there isn't much else that falls in Joaquin's favor for fantasy this late into his long career, aside from his consistent starts in other competitions.

Borja Iglesias - Scores in win Iglesias scored one goal on his only shot in 14 minutes off the bench during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.
Impact Iglesias helped to snatch a late road win in his fourth appearance off the bench in five league matches. While staying consistent hasn't been a theme for Iglesias over the last two seasons, he's a streaky player who could be a worthy target should this goal turn into a start and further good performances. Up next is a visit from Rayo Vallecano, which have scored the second-most goals in La Liga.
