Ante Budimir - Contract option picked up Budimir signed a four-year contract with Osasuna after the club paid eight million euros to buy out his rights from Mallorca on Monday.

Impact On the eve of the Euros where Budimir is likely to serve as a backup striker, he's committed to his current club following an 11-goal season. In two seasons as a starter in La Liga, Budimir has scored 24 goals and provided two assists. While his value has held steady, even the smallest amount of help from his teammates in Navarra could turn Budimir into one of the better strikers for fantasy in Spain.

Kike - Signs with Osasuna Kike signed a three-year contract with Osasuna on Tuesday after transferring from Eibar.

Impact Kike is coming off a personal-best season in the first division with 12 goals and two assists in 37 matches. He was a key figure in keeping Eibar in the first despite being the smallest club in La Liga, and a famous goal to secure a draw at Barcelona during the most recent campaign will be a good memory to take away from the relegation. Now, he's yet another who scored double-digit goals before joining Osasuna, just like Ante Budimir. Between Kike, Budimir, Chimy Avila and Jonathan Calleri, there's a lot of strikers and not as many minutes to go around, though whatever lineup ends up as the starters will be interesting to track.

Jonathan Calleri - Finishes season injured Calleri missed Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad due to an injury.

Impact Calleri missed the final month of the season and finished with five goals and two assists in 25 appearances (20 starts). With Kike already signed after Eibar's relegation, Calleri will need to step up his efforts next season.

Ante Budimir - Plays 21 minutes as sub Budimir played 21 minutes during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Budimir subbed on for Enric Gallego in the 69th minute and couldn't do much to avoid the home loss during his limited time in the field. The forward finished the season with 11 goals in 30 appearances (18 starts), and will now look to improve his number in 2021-22.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Torres - Takes two shots against Sociedad Torres took two off-target shots, sent in three inaccurate crosses and made one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Torres co-led his side in shots and sent in the second-most crosses, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The midfielder closed the campaign with seven goals and one assist in 35 appearances (19 starts).

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Enric Gallego - Picks up yellow card in loss Gallego took one off-target shot and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Gallego started and had a quiet outing before subbing off in the 69th minute, but picked up his second caution of the season in the proccess. The forward finished the campaign with zero goals and two assists in 22 appearances (eight starts).

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Manuel Perez - Starts and concedes once Juan made zero saves during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Juan started for the third time in the season and was keeping the clean sheet until the 86th minute, but failed to make a single save. The goalkeeper finished the season with five saves, four clearances, three goals allowed and one clean sheet in three starts.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kike - Takes two shots in loss Kike took two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Kike finished the season with 12 goals in 37 games, but a scoreless run over the final four matches saw his team relegated and sit dead-last in the table. Still, as one of the few players to score over 10 goals in La Liga, Kike shouldn't have any issues finding a new club if he wishes to do so.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Garcia - Finishes season with muscle injury Garcia suffered a muscular strain during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad, his club announced Monday.

Impact Garcia made 13 starts from 17 total appearances this season as he spent much of the campaign as a rotation defender. He'll likely hold a similar role as long as he's healthy when the next campaign begins.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Avila - Out for season finale Avila is unavailable for Saturday's season finale against Real Sociedad.

Impact Avila may have taken a knock to his ankle late in the week and as a result he's out for the final match of the campaign. He failed to score in eight appearances since his return from a torn ACL, so while he probably feels good about returning to full fitness, he'll focus on scoring more goals by the time next season comes around.

MAY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aridane - Out against La Real Aridane (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's season finale against Real Sociedad.

Impact Aridane will miss the final three matches of the season due to injury after starting in all 24 of his appearances. In his place, Unai Garcia and David Garcia are one option to pair at center-back.

MAY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Manuel Perez - Extends contract until 2024 Juan signed a contract extension through June of 2024 on Wednesday.

Impact Juan has only made four league appearances over the last two seasons but evidently received enough assurances to continue his development with this club. He'll stick around for two more years if no other opportunities arise.

MAY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Scores in loss Budimir scored one goal on his only shot during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Budimir continued his excellent run of form with his fourth goal in three matches. For a team that's scored as many goals collectively (37) as they've played games (37), Budimir's recent goalscoring run has been a big boost for this club. He'll head into the season finale against Real Sociedad, which are tied for the third-fewest goals conceded to forwards.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Garcia - Provides assist in loss Garcia provided one assist from one chance created and won two of three tackles during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Garcia was deployed as a left-back in a back five as his club sought to play extremely defensively against a talented opponent. It nearly paid off as Garcia set up Ante Budimir's goal, but the comeback was on and the hosts prevailed. In Garcia's case, he really only has decent fantasy value when able to log a good number of crosses, and that could be difficult against Real Sociedad, which defend well against that stat.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Herrera - Ships two in loss Herrera conceded two goals and made seven saves during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Herrera hasn't recorded a victory in any of his last four starts, though he gave his club a good chance of changing that narrative until the hosts fought back with two late goals. He'll head into the season finale against another tough opponent in Real Sociedad, which scored four goals in their most recent match against Real Valladolid.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Ramalho - Makes five clearances in loss Ramalho made five clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Ramalho has started in three of the last five matches after spending the first few months of his loan to Osasuna riding the bench. With parent club Girona unlikely to be promoted without a strong push in the final weekend of the season, Ramalho will get one more shot to prove his worth in the final game against Real Sociedad.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David Garcia - Makes 11 clearances in loss Garcia made 11 clearances and three interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact It was a far cry from the previous match in which Garcia's club won 3-2 over Cadiz, as he was forced to bunker down and only completed eight passes during Sunday's narrow loss. As clearances aren't an ideal fantasy stat outside of the right format, Garcia will have another tough matchup against Real Sociedad, which have scored the fifth-most goals in La Liga.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Calleri - Remains unavailable Calleri (undisclosed) isn't in the match day roster for Sunday's game against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Calleri has missed the last three matches entirely and may just be out for the rest of the season to fully recover from his ailment. Ante Budimir has been the most recent starter at striker while Calleri is out.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aridane - Limited in training Aridane was a limited participant in Wednesday's training session.

Impact Aridane had missed Monday's 3-2 win over Cadiz and hasn't quite recovered his fitness. If healthy, Aridane has started all but two of the last 15 matches, so he should be able to return to the lineup. If that doesn't happen, look to Unai Garcia and David Garcia as an option to pair up at center-back.

MAY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Avila - Takes three shots in win Avila took three shots and made an interception in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Cadiz. He also won two of five tackles in the match.

Impact Avila was given just his second start of the season Tuesday as he is still working his way back to full fitness, but he looked active against Cadiz. But he might find less space next weekend against La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, which have conceded just 22 goals in 35 matches.

MAY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Manuel Perez - Concedes two goals against Cadiz Juan made two saves but conceded two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Cadiz.

Impact Juan deputized for Sergio Herrera between the sticks in Tuesday's wild game, but he and his side were able to hang on for the victory. It remains unclear whether he or Herrera will suit up for next weekend's clash against La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, which have scored 61 goals in 35 matches this season.

MAY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Sanchez - Records assist in win Sanchez assisted a goal and made an interception in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Cadiz. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Sanchez set up Ante Budimir's opening goal against Cadiz on Tuesday for his fourth assist of the season. He will hope to feature once again in next weekend's clash versus La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, which have scored 61 goals in 35 matches.

MAY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jony - Records assist in win Jony subbed into Tuesday's match against Cadiz in the 71st minute, and he assisted a goal in the 3-2 victory.

Impact Jony set up Ante Budimir's second goal against Cadiz just a few minutes after subbing in on Tuesday. It was his second assist of the season, though he will likely return to the bench for next weekend's clash against La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid.

MAY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Torres - Scores goal against Cadiz Torres scored a goal and created a chance in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Cadiz.

Impact Torres scored the game winner on Tuesday from the penalty spot, his seventh goal of the season. Next weekend, he will face La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid.

MAY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Scores brace against Cadiz Budimir scored two goals and created a chance in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Cadiz. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Budimir lifted his side to victory with a well-taken brace on Tuesday that brings him up to 10 goals on the season. He might find things more difficult next weekend against La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, which have conceded just 22 goals in 35 matches.
