Suspended against Cadiz Mir will miss Friday's clash against Cadiz with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.
Subs on in loss Mir put two shots off target in 49 minutes of Sunday's 3-2 loss to Real Madrid.
Impact Mir scored in the previous round against Granada but upon coming in for the injured Anthony Martial, he wasn't able to repeat the feat. Should Martial miss multiple matches, Mir could slot in against Levante, which have conceded the most goals in the league.

Scores goal against Granada Mir subbed into Friday's match against Granada in the 68th minute, and he took three shots (two on target), scored a goal and created a chance in the 4-2 victory.
Impact Mir netted the stoppage-time winner Friday with his ninth goal of the season, and his first since February. He has started just one of Sevilla's six La Liga games since that last goal, so he will hope this performance can earn him another look in the XI.

Scores opener at Espanyol Mir scored one goal from three shots (two on target) in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Espanyol.
Impact Mir scored the opener in the 36th minute, but they allowed the equalizer in the second half and settled for one point on the road. That was his ninth goal in the season, and he did not log any other relevant stats during the match. The forward will now look to find the back of the net again when they host Betis on Sunday.

Scores off bench in win Mir scored one goal from one shot in 30 minutes of Friday's 2-0 win over Elche.
Impact Mir hasn't played consistent minutes through the first months of winter and has come off the bench in each of the last two matches. As he was able to add his seventh league goal of the season in Friday's win, Mir could try to regain his place as a starting striker by Sunday's trip to Espanyol.

Scores goal against Getafe Mir scored a goal and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Getafe. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Mir returned to the lineup Sunday after missing the previous game, and he scored the game winner with a neat flick. It was his sixth goal of the season and his first since November, and he will need to continue scoring like this for Sevilla while Youssef En-Nesyri and Munir El Haddadi are away at the African Cup of Nations. Next up is a clash against Valencia, which have conceded 32 times in 20 La Liga matches.

Gets goal in loss Mir scored one goal from three shots (three on goal) during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Impact Mir has scored in consecutive appearances after failing to score in five straight matches from the end of October until the Nov 23 match against Wolfsburg. The injury to Youssef En-Nesyri (hamstring) will keep Mir as an important piece in the lineup, so look out for what he can do on the back of Sunday's efforts. Up next is a visit from Villarreal, which have conceded the joint fewest goals in the league to forwards.

Scores off bench in UCL win Mir scored a goal off three shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in one accurate cross during Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Wolfsburg.
Impact Mir made a rare appearance off the bench after starting the previous 10 matches. He was brought in the 80th minute to replace Munir El Haddadi and displayed his usual intensity on the attacking end, being able to pace his team in shot attempts despite of the short playing time and being rewarded with a goal deep into the stoppage time that sealed the 2-0 win for Sevilla. This was the first career UCL goal for the striker and his first in all competitions after a five-match drought. With Youssef En-Nesyri (hamstring) still out, Mir will probably be back in the starting XI for Sunday's La Liga visit to Real Madrid.

Takes six shots in draw Mir took six shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Alaves.
Impact Mir was active in attack on Saturday, but he wasn't accurate enough with his shooting to make the difference against Alaves. He is yet to score in the Champions League, but he will want to end that dry run Tuesday against Wolfsburg, which drew Sevilla 1-1 in the reverse fixture on Sept. 29.

Takes one shot in win Mir put one shot off target during Sunday's 2-0 win over Betis.
Impact Mir has started the last nine matches across all competitions and scored twice, though none have come in his last four starts. It seems like an interesting call to play Mir over Youssef En-Nesyri, though neither are in great form and it may not make much of a difference at the moment. Up next is a visit from Deportivo Alaves, which have gone undefeated in their last four matches.

Takes two shots versus Lille Mir had two shots (one on target), two aerials won and one dispossession in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Lille.
Impact Mir has been on a dry streak of late with three matches without a goal now. He's taken six shots (two on target) over that period, so the volume has been there and after scoring four times in the seven appearances before that he could be back on the scoresheet very soon.

Records three shots, one on goal Mir recorded three shots (one on goal) during a 1-1 draw Wednesday at Mallorca.
Impact Mir recorded 17 shots (nine on goal) across his last seven La Liga appearances. Though fellow striker Youssef En-Nesyri is healthy now, the Spaniard's shot frequency and accuracy indicate he should not be someone Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui immediately disregards.

Nets in rare start Rafa scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 1-0 win over Celta Vigo.
Impact Rafa scored in a spot start, stepping into the starting XI with injuries giving him renewed opportunity. He will stay in the starting XI as long as Youssef En-Nesyri (hamstring) is out, and he has been mostly productive with the increase chance. Net up is a Wednesday trip to Lille.

Takes one shot in loss Rafa put one shot off target during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Granada.
Impact Rafa has started two of the last three league matches but wasn't able to take advantage of his chance to play instead of Youssef En-Nesyri. Fortunately, Rafa should get a few more opportunities to play as En-Nesyri recovers from a hamstring injury, so he'll look for another start in the Oct. 17 trip to Celta Vigo.

Nets off bench Rafa scored once on one shot during Saturday's 2-0 win over Espanyol.
Impact Rafa sored his second goal of the season, and has now scored in two straight matches. The forward is struggling to get in the lineup, but two goals in 149 minutes is absolutely elite efficiency. Next up is a mid-week trip to Wolfsburg in the Champions League.

Scores in win Rafa scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Valencia.
Impact Rafa scored his first goal in his first start, netting on his only shot on goal. The forward did well throughout even if he had limited opportunity. To hold onto fantasy relevance he will need immense efficiency, as his floor is truly zero. Next up is a Saturday clash with Espanyol.

Moves to Sevilla Rafa joined Sevilla from Wolves on Friday. He's committed to a six-year contract with his new club.
Impact Scoring 13 goals for Huesca and a hat trick for Spain at the Olympics is a good way to climb the club chain in one year and now Rafa finds himself in one of the top teams in La Liga. What will be more difficult for Rafa is to consistently start at forward due to the presence of Youssef En-Nesyri, who scored 18 goals of his own last season and added six more in the Champions League. As a result, Rafa may first bump Luuk de Jong out of the striking rotation and then play on the wings in order to include the most talented lineup.

Impact Rafa is training with Wolverhampton, but not many expect him to stay with the club. Atletico Madrid have reportedly made a bid for the striker to only have Wolves turn it down. It's unclear if Wolves plan to hold onto him in the last year of his contract or let him go elsewhere. He appeared in all 38 matches while on loan at Huesca last season, scoring 13 goals, in addition to playing with the Spanish national team in the Euros and Olympics.

Takes five shots in win Rafa took five shots (three on goal) during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Japan.
Impact Rafa got the start on the right wing and played all 120 minutes, though he was unable to score anything after bagging a hat trick in the win over Cote D'ivoire in the previous round. With Marco Asensio scoring the winner without needing to replace Rafa, there could be a chance he stays in the lineup for the gold medal match against Brazil.
