Thibaut Courtois - Concedes one in win Courtois kept a clean sheet with five saves made during 2-1 win over Almeria.
Impact Courtois secured the victory but still faced a strong challenge from the newly promoted hosts. This is a story of some frequency through last season as well, but as long as Courtois gets the win, he'll remain one of the best in his league and in the world.

David Alaba - Bangs home free kick Alaba scored one goal from one shot in 16 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over Almeria.
Impact Alaba scored the winning goal with a tidy free kick on his first touch of the game. He should be back in the lineup soon but with Antonio Rudiger in the side, Alaba could be rotated far more this season.

Lucas Vazquez - Finds net in win Vazquez scored one goal from three shots (two on goal) during Sunday's 2-1 win over Almeria.
Impact Vazquez scored the first league goal of his side's season as they open their title defense. He continues to impress whenever on the pitch and with Dani Carvajal unfit, Vazquez figures to continue as a starter for now.

Antonio Rudiger - Takes two shots in win Rudiger took two shots (one on goal) and made one interception during Sunday's 2-1 win over Almeria.
Impact Rudiger played the full 90 in his league debut in Spain and did well to get forward. He'll need to keep up strong play in order to maintain his place in the lineup as David Alaba and Eder Militao in addition to Nacho make the competition for minutes quite strong.

Nacho - Goes distance in win Nacho made two interceptions while playing for the full 90 of Sunday's 2-1 win over Almeria.
Impact Nacho finds himself as the third center-back this season but a rough performance from Antonio Rudiger could keep him in the lineup quite frequently. When Nacho does play, it's helpful how frequently he can earn a clean sheet bonus in one of the top defenses Europe.

Ferland Mendy - Creates two chances in win Mendy created two chances and won one-of-two tackles during Sunday's 2-1 win over Almeria.
Impact Mendy put in a solid first shift but only played for 74 minutes and didn't get the full match under his belt. Expect him to be a regular when fit but he's never had enough attacking involvement to be a major fantasy asset, logging 28 crosses in 22 games last season.
