Logs six tackles in win Saul logged six tackles (four won) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over Villarreal.

Impact Saul made his first start since completing his one-match suspension and promptly picked up another yellow card. Despite this, he's still a quality option with mid-range value based on his defensive work rate alone, and the potential absences of both Yannick Carrasco (foot) and Thomas Lemar (undisclosed) for Sunday's derby against Real Madrid.

Scores goal against Cadiz Saul scored a goal and created a chance in Sunday's 4-2 victory against Cadiz. He also made a clearance and won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Saul made just his second start since Dec. 9 on Sunday, but he justified the selection by scoring his second goal of the season. He has been a bit off form this term and he has lost his starting spot in midfield, so he will hope that this performance can kickstart a revitalization in his performances.
