Carlos Benavidez - Available off bench Friday Benavidez (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's match against Granada.
Impact Benavidez will be an option off the bench for Alaves and could be called upon duty if the team needs to close the result in the second half. However, the defensive nature of his role limits his upside in most matches.

Carlos Benavidez - In contention to play Friday Benavidez (undisclosed) is in the squad to play Friday against Granada.
Impact Benavidez had been dealing with an injury over the last few weeks, but it seems he's healthy enough to, at least, make the squad for Friday's match. Benavidez has started in three of his eight appearances this season, but the nature of his defensive role in midfield prevents him from having a lot of fantasy upside.

Samuel Omorodion - Adds one more to goal tally Samu scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Samu capped off a first-minute counter-attack Deportivo Alaves used to score the team's only goal Sunday. Perhaps no option for the team is more surprising than Samu, who has four goals across his five starts in the 2023-24 season. It is becoming more difficult to ignore what the 19-year-old has been able to do with his limited opportunities.

Javi Lopez - Records assist Lopez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Barcelona.
Impact Lopez capitalized on a first-minute counter-attack by logging the assist to a goal scored by teammate Samu. Though the Alaves team is not one bursting with many offensive options, Lopez has been promising recently, with two assists across his last four starts in La Liga action. Though there is a strong chance his positive momentum cools down from the international break, Lopez is at his most promising and one to consider after it ends.

Antonio Sivera - Concedes two goals Sivera registered four saves but conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Barcelona.
Impact Sivera could not stop Robert Lewandowski from logging a brace past him Sunday. The goalkeeper will look to establish more consistency after the upcoming international break. Sivera has conceded multiple goals in four of his last eight appearances, only one of them being a clean sheet.

Ander Guevara - Busy defensively versus Almeria Guevara had two off-target shots, created one chance and made six tackles (five won), two clearances and three interceptions during Sunday's 1-0 win over Almeria.
Impact Guevara was back to his normal self after scoring on the previous match, focusing on his defensive duties and simply dominating, with season highs in both tackles and interceptions. This stat-stuffing wall is probably the version we'll see in action next Sunday, when Alaves visits third-placed Barcelona.

Luis Rioja - Active display against Almeria Rioja had two off-target shots, created three chances, sent in nine crosses (three accurate) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-0 win over Almeria.
Impact Rioja was one of his side's top performers here, always generating plays for teammates from the left flank and being second in key passes among all players. With eight shots, six chances created and 19 crosses over his last three starts, the winger is getting closer and closer from finally appearing on the scoresheet for the first time since Aug. 21. Up next for him is Sunday's visit to Barcelona.

Kike Garcia - Takes four shots versus Almeria Kike had four shots (one on target), created two chances and drew two fouls during Sunday's 1-0 win over Almeria.
Impact Kike returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench in back-to-back matches and was very active on the attacking end despite not being able to put to an end his scoreless streak that is now at 10 games. The forward will try to put this drought to an end during next Sunday's visit to Barcelona.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Blanco - Takes five shots versus Almeria Blanco had five shots (one on target) and drew three fouls during Sunday's 1-0 win over Almeria.
Impact Blanco had little defensive work with his side dominating the opposition for most of the match but found a lot of room to support the offense, even leading all players in shots attempted, with one of them being a long-range effort that forced the goalkeeper to make an acrobatic save. However, this kind of stat line should never be expected from the holding midfielder, who will be probably much more focused on his defensive duties during next Saturday's visit to Barcelona.

Ianis Hagi - Misses PK versus Almeria Hagi had two off-target shots, created four chances, sent in seven crosses (two accurate), made two tackles (both won), drew two fouls but missed a penalty during Sunday's 1-0 win...
Impact Hagi returned to the starting XI after two matches as a substitute and had his numbers boosted by his role on set pieces. However, the highlight for the playmaker was a penalty he missed with the game still scoreless during first half's stoppage time. Still in search of his first goal since joining Alaves, Hagi will try to bounce back during next Sunday's visit to Barcelona.

Impact Sedlar suffered the severe knee injury against Almeria and is now set for up to a year on the sideline. With surgery already decided it's more likely than not that Sedlar will be done for 2023/24, with eyes on a return for 2024/25. Rafa Marin should be in line for an expanded role with Sedlar sidelined.

Impact Duarte was decent on both sides of the pitch Sunday, whipping in four crosses and taking one shot in the attack while also making three tackles, two interceptions and one clearance in the defense. The defender started the first six matches of the season as the club's left-back before settling for a rotational role for a couple of matches, but he appears to be back as a regular starter after starting in the last two matches.
