Impact There wasn't much Dituro could've done on the two goals he conceded. Elche have one of the worst defenses in LaLiga, meaning the veteran goalkeeper won't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats. Dituro should remain in the XI ahead of the weekend matchup against Getafe.

Gives up goal Saturday Dituro recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact This was Dituro's fourth consecutive game without keeping a clean sheet, though at least he's limited the damage to just two goals conceded in two of those starts.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two goals Dituro had one save and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 win against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Dituro was fortunate to not allow a third goal, which was also potentially due to Atletico Madrid being down a man for an hour.

Inks contract extension Dituro signed a contract extension with Elche until 2027, the club announced.

Impact Dituro has locked down the starting job over the last five matches, racking up 16 saves and delivering a clean sheet for the Franjiverdes, a run that convinced the board to hand him a contract extension through 2027.

Allows two in loss Dituro made six saves and allowed two goals during Friday's 2-1 loss against Athletic Bilbao.

Impact Dituro made back-to-back starts for the first time since September and couldn't do much to prevent either goal allowed.

Dituro will hope this performance helps him to keep getting the nod over Inaki Pena for upcoming matches and Mar. 1 clash against Espanyol could bring enough challengers for him to showcase his shot-stopping skills again.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
