Impact Merino played a pivotal role from midfield in this game, scoring the opener with a perfect header from close range in the 38th minute and assisting the team's third goal with a backheel that set up Takefusa Kubo.

This has been a quiet start of campaign for Merino from a fantasy perspective and he'll hope this performance is a sign of better things to come.

Limited impact in return Merino registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Las Palmas.

Impact Merino missed the first two matches of the season due to a leg injury but recovered in time to start here, although his impact was limited and didn't do much from a fantasy perspective. Given the defensive midfielder's job for Sociedad goes well beyond the box score, he's more important for his on-field qualities rather than for his fantasy upside, as he rarely moves forward and mostly generates defensive stats.
