Isi Palazon - Insufficient effort in loss Palazon had three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 4-0 defeat to Elche.

Impact Palazon tested the opposing goal from outside the box and logged team-high totals of 41 passes and three fouls drawn against Elche. However, he was held off the score sheet for the 10th league match in a row. He remains a regular source of offensive stats and set pieces, but his value is lacking compared to other team's central attacking midfielders as long as his scoring drought continues.

Augusto Batalla - Concedes four goals to Elche Batalla made two saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-0 defeat versus Elche.

Impact Batalla struggled as his team suffered an overwhelming defeat Sunday, allowing multiple goals for the first time in six La Liga games since Nov. 1. The keeper has stopped 70 percent of his opponents' goal attempts, and his six clean sheets now rank fourth during the current competition. He'll be expected to stay in the lineup for the upcoming meeting with Getafe, whose average of 2.6 shots on target per game is the lowest in the league.

Alvaro Rodriguez - Involved in three goals in win Rodriguez scored one goal and assisted twice from seven shots and three chances created in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Rodriguez put in a superb display of his offensive skills, scoring the second goal of the match through a left-footed touch in the 67th minute and creating the chances for Hector Fort and German Valera in the sixth and 70th minutes, respectively, of this clash. The striker now leads the squad with four assists while tying as the third-best with three goals. He bounced back to the starting lineup as part of a front two alongside Rafa Mir after being among the substitutes in the previous two games, and the solid output may have earned him the opportunity to maintain high playing time in the next few games.

Martim Neto - Scores as substitute Sunday Neto scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-0 win against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Neto finished a fast association play with Josan to increase the hosts' lead in stoppage time during the win. The Portuguese made a bigger impact as a substitute in this game than in his previous two starts, though it's unclear if he'll return to the initial lineup as he remains in contention with the consistent duo of Alvaro Nunez and Aleix Febas. In any case, Neto will look to improve on his tallies of one goal and three assists as soon as league action resumes in 2026.

Josan - Assists off bench in win Josan assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minut...

Impact Josan set up Martim Neto in stoppage time after coming on in a game that was already tilting in his team's favor. The wide midfielder increased his total to two assists over 304 minutes of league play in the 2025/26 course. However, he hasn't seen a lot of action over the last few weeks. He may push for increased playing time at right wing-back, especially if Hector Fort (undisclosed) fails to recover in time for future clashes.
