Creates two chances in loss Modric created two chances in 114 minutes of Monday's 5-3 loss to Spain.

Impact Modric was crucial for Croatia's win, scoring a beautiful goal from outside the box in the 62nd minute to give his side the 2-1 lead, and later assisting Ivan Perisic in the 77th to seal the deal. The midfielder will now have a tougher matchup against Spain on Monday.

Impact Modric had another active display and was yet again one of the main cogs in the middle of the park. The playmaker has already mounted four chances created and five crosses through the two matches while also adding some defensive numbers but if he can add a goal or an assist it would help him gain fantasy value in all formats.

Modric extends contract with Real Madrid until June 2022

Luka Modric’s contract with Real Madrid has been extended until June 2022

MAY 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Extends contract to 2022 Modric signed a one-season contract extension to July of 2022 with Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Impact Modric is seldom a major fantasy asset, but his five goals and three assists in 35 league appearances from this season are still reasonable in the context of Toni Kroos expertly conducting the attack each week. With Modric starting to rise in age, he'll need assurances of a starting place in the lineup before committing to a long-term contract, though he should at least feel comfortable in that role for one more season after competing in this summer's Euro tournament for Croatia.

Nets vs. Villarreal Modric scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Villarreal.

Impact Modric ended the campaign by netting his fifth goal on the season, a strong tally for the mostly creative midfielder. Modric has been a force to reckon with in 2021/22, and will remain one of the top options in every competition going forward. Modric will be 36 next season, though he shows no signs of slowing down.

Productive in win Modric created four chances from 11 crosses (three accurate, nine corners taken) and took two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Modric may not have contributed to the scoresheet but he still put up a season-best crossing performance and tied his season-high for chances created in a match. If Toni Kroos returns from his isolation in time for the season finale against Villarreal, it's likely that Modric won't have the same value as he did Sunday due to the role of Kroos as the primary chance creator.

Madrid wins to keep up pressure on Atlético in La Liga

MAY 13, 2021 • Associated Press

Scores in win Modric scored one goal from one shot and created three chances during Thursday's 4-1 win over Granada.

Impact Modric took a neat pass over the top of the defense from debutant Miguel to open the scoring. All season, Modric has had to play second fiddle to Toni Kroos in attacking value from the midfield, but that wasn't a worry with Kroos left on the bench in this match. Up next is a trip to Athletic club, which are tied for the fewest shots on goal conceded to midfielders in La Liga.
