Impact Sancet came off the bench in the season opener and didn't finish his first start, so it's not a guarantee that he'll return to the XI right away now that he's eligible to do so. He will likely battle with Iker Muniain for the attacking midfielder role in Athletic's 4-2-3-1 system.

As he continues his development, Sancet is worth tracking whenever he and his teammates are in good form, as he's shown exceptional passing range and good timing to get into the box.

Adds goal in third straight Sancet scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and created three chances during Friday's 4-0 win over Almeria.

Impact Sancet is scoring with consistency he seldom showed when played as a forward last season and he came close to a well-worked assist in the second half too. Since he only takes a couple of shots a game, Sancet could be a risk if his form dips but for now he's done well to keep his place with Ander Herrera on the sidelines and nearing starting fitness.

Now that Ander Herrera is fit enough to play, Sancet will need to keep up his good form if he's to keep his place in the lineup and contribute enough for fantasy relevance from a deeper position.
