Struggling for minutes Alcacer is struggling to even get on the pitch, making his debut during Sunday's 0-0 draw with Mallorca.

Impact Alcacer had a disappointing 2020, scoring six times and adding four assists in 27 appearances, and it appears he may have lost his spot in the starting XI. The forward is struggling for minutes, and when on the pitch he's looked absolutely toothless and disinterested. Alcacer has next to no fantasy value barring some big changes.
