Creates six chances in draw Berenguer took two shots (one on target) and created six chances in Friday's 1-1 draw against Getafe. He also made an interception and won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Berenguer was a big threat to Getafe with his passing from the right wing, but his teammates weren't able to capitalize and Bilbao had to settle for a draw. He will be looking for his seventh assist of the season after the international break against Elche, which have conceded 39 goals in 28 La Liga matches.

Provides two assists in win Berenguer provided two assists from five chances created on seven crosses (three accurate) and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 3-1 win over Levante.

Impact Berenguer had a field day against the last-placed team in La Liga as he recorded his third and fourth assists over his last two league matches. This was an important result to help put the poor performance during the Copa del Rey loss to Valencia in the past and could secure Berenguer a more stable role even as Nico Williams returns to full fitness. Up next is a trip to Betis, which have conceded 35 goals in 27 matches this season.

Suspended against Barcelona Berenguer will miss Sunday's clash against Barcelona with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Logs two assists in win Berenguer provided two assists from three chances created on seven crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 4-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Berenguer offered both corners from which his side scored during an impactful derby result.

Next could be a high-flying visit to Barcelona if both sides keep up their recent scoring trends.

Scores in loss Berenguer scored one goal on one shot and conceded a yellow card during 45 minutes of Monday's 3-2 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Berenguer nearly secured the comeback after coming off the bench to help his side score twice in two minutes, but a late own goal ended their chances.

Active in win Berenguer created one chance from eight crosses (two accurate) and won two-of-two tackles during Sunday's 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Berenguer took on a bigger creative role with Iker Muniain (COVID-19) unavailable and did well from the right wing. As he's continued to earn more minutes, it's created more difficulties for Nico Williams to get on the pitch, but both are playing plenty during a recent goalscoring surge from the Lions. Up next is a visit from Espanyol, which have conceded 30 goals in 22 matches.

Logs assist against Osasuna Berenguer provided one assist from one chance created and took five shots (one on goal) in 75 minutes of Monday's 3-1 win over Osasuna.

Impact Berenguer came back from his COVID-19 isolation and made his first start in almost two months, setting up Oihan Sancet's third goal of the night. The competition for minutes has gotten stronger thanks to the fine play of Nico Williams, but Berenguer still took his chance to prove he can be productive when on the pitch. There's also a possibility that he's picked up an arm injury during the match, so his availability could remain limited in the next match against Deportivo Alaves.

Playing against Osasuna Berenguer (illness) will be in the starting XI versus Osasuna on Monday.

Impact Berenguer will be making his first start since Nov. 19 against Levante, having come off the bench in his prior four contests. The midfielder has racked up 71 crosses (12 accurate) and 42 corners in his 18 matches this year and should be a factor on freekicks moving forward. As such, Berenguer figures to offer top-half fantasy value when he does feature.

Impact Berenguer was too lax in his penalty attempt as it was saved by Geronimo Rulli in the second half but he was still solid for much of the contest. With how impressive Iker Muniain has been on the other flank, it's important for Berenguer to take advantage of his role on set pieces in order to generate solid fantasy value. Up next is a trip to Espanyol, which have conceded 10 goals in 10 games.

Impact Berenguer has yet to record an assist this season but he's created one chance in every single game.
