Randy Nteka - Scores in win Nteka scored once on one shot during Sunday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Impact Nteka came off the bench and scored his second goal of the season during Sunday's win. The forward has somewhat fallen out of favor in the starting XI, but has been solid when he gets a chance. Nteka has upside when starting, but off the bench he's underwhelmed, he's only worth the flyer if he's in the starting XI going forward.

Esteban Saveljich - Subs off with groin injury Saveljich came off the pitch late in the second half of Sunday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Stole Dimitrievski - Beaten late in loss Dimitrievski made two saves and clearances during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Dimitrievski wasn't beaten until 89th minute, costing him the draw and clean sheet. The keeper has been inconsistent to say the least to start the year but if he could find some form after the international break he's shown flashes of brilliance. He gets a solid bounce back opportunity against Elche straight after the break.

Isi Palazon - Continues good form Palazon made two tackles and shot three times off goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Palazon has finally found some form in the last two matches before the international break. Unfortunately the two weeks off very well could cool the midfielder off, if he can avoid that he has a favorable clash with Elche right after the break.

Oscar Trejo - Creates one chance in shutout Trejo created a single chance during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Osasuna.

Impact Trejo only managed a single chance created during Saturday's match, though it was enough to extend his streak to five games. If he can keep creating chances the goal contributions will keep coming, especially against a weaker Elche side after the international break.

Alvaro Garcia - Five wild crosses Garcia sent in five inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Osasuna.

Impact Garcia had plenty of chances down the left side of the pitch, but his crosses were wildly inaccurate and left plenty to be desired. The midfielder tends to have plenty of chances to create chances but is inconsistent at best. He takes on Elche after the international break.

Martin Merquelanz - Undergoes arthroscopic surgery Merquelanz (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery in his knee, according to Maite Martin of as.com.

Impact Merquelanz appears to have avoided an ACL injury, but still had to undergo surgery ruling him out for at least a month. The midfielder has been in great form, and will be a major loss. Isi Palazon is likely to slot into the midfield with Merquelanz sidlined.

That was his second assist of the season, to go with one goal, in four appearances (one start). He will now look for more playing time at Osasuna on Saturday.

Esteban Saveljich - Hurts ankle in win Saveljich (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Osasuna after hurting his ankle during Sunday's 3-1 win over Cadiz.

Impact Saveljich came off the pitch after rolling his ankle and appeared unable to put much weight on it at all. Scans should reveal the extent of the injury, but at best he is firmly questionable for Saturday's trip to Osasuna. Nikola Maras came on in his place, and could see more game time if Saveljich is sidelined.

Stole Dimitrievski - One save in win Dimitrievski made one save and one clearance during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.

Impact Dimitrievski made one save and faced only one shot, he failed to stop an own goal from Pathe Ciss, which cost him his clean sheet. Next up for the keeper is a favorable clash at home against minnows Cadiz.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pathe Ciss - Own goal in win Ciss scored an own goal during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.

Impact Ciss scored an own goal, that proved inconsequential as his team picked him up for the win. It was a poor performance from the defensive midfielder who has a very limited ceiling. If he can get forward consistently he gains some fantasy relevance.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Bebe - Assists off bench Bebe provided one assist on one chance created during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.

Impact Bebe came off the bench for 11 minutes, his sixth appearance (one start) this season, grabbing his first goal contribution in a solid showing. He has led the team in set-pieces despite not starting a strange tally, but it does give him an oddly safe floor - when starting. Next up is a Sunday clash with Cadiz.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Guardiola - Assists in win Sergi provided one assist on two chances created during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.

Impact Sergi has two goal contributions despite playing just 84 total minutes so far in the season. The forward is the picture of efficiency and has been one of the very best in the league in his very limited time on the pitch. That said until he has a consistent starting role, he isn't a viable fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Falcao - Scores off bench again Falcao scored once on one shot during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.

Impact Falcao scored his second goal in as many appearances during Tuesday's win, as the veteran showed he still has an eye for goal. He might not have the legs to be a consistent starter, but put him in front of net and Falcao can finish. Next up for the forward is a Sunday clash with minnows Cadiz.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Garcia - Scores in win Garcia scored once on three shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Bilbao.

Impact Garcia scored his second goal of the season in his fifth start, putting together yet another strong showing. The midfielder is off to a good start this year and has been consistently exceptional, he will look to continue that Sunday, at home against Cadiz.
