Iker Muniain - Creates five chances in draw Muniain took two shots (one on target) and created five chances in Friday's 1-1 draw against Getafe.

Impact Muniain was his usual dangerous self against Getafe on Friday, but his teammates didn't put away any of the chances he created for them. He has seven assists from 78 chances created so far this season, and he will be looking for more after the international break against Elche.

Alex Berenguer - 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.

Unai Simon - Concedes goal against Getafe Simon made a save but conceded a goal in Friday's 1-1 draw against Getafe.

Impact Simon was beaten by an early Enes Unal header on Friday, though his team was able to battle back and salvage a draw. He has kept just one clean sheet in seven La Liga games since the start of February, but after the international break he will face Elche, which have scored 30 goals in 28 matches this season.

Inaki Williams - Records assist against Getafe Williams took five shots (three on target) and assisted a goal in Friday's 1-1 draw against Getafe. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Williams set up Yuri Berchiche's equalizer on Friday, but he couldn't find the back of the net himself for a would-be winner despite some dangerous activity. After the international break he will be looking for his eighth goal of the season against Elche, which have conceded 39 times in 28 La Liga matches.

Yuri Berchiche - Scores goal against Getafe Berchiche scored a goal and created two chances in Friday's 101 draw against Getafe. He also made a block, a clearance and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Berchiche equalized Friday's game with his first goal of the season, as he was a big attacking threat from left back in the game. He has now started three La Liga games in a row after missing the first half of the campaign with a few groin and achilles injuries, but he will likely be the preferred choice at left back over Mikel Balenziaga moving forward.
