Impact Martinez returned to Bilbao's lineup on Saturday after missing last week's draw against Espanyol with a stomach issue, but he will be suspended for Friday's clash against Cadiz now following his sending off in the Basque derby. Dani Vivian (strain) is likely to replace him in central defense if he's fit enough, or possibly Unai Nunez if Vivian can't go.

Unai Nunez - Comes off bench in draw Nunez created one chance in 32 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Impact Nunez just returned from an ankle injury and made the bench without much early expectation of playing, though a knock to Dani Vivian sent him in for the final phase of the match. With Vivian confirmed to have a muscular issue, Nunez could be set to return to the starting lineup for Sunday's derby at Real Sociedad.

Unai Simon - Concedes one in draw Simon conceded one goal and made two saves during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Impact Simon has conceded no more than one goal in four straight starts, of which two have ended in victory and two in draws. His steady play won't necessarily make him a top fantasy target at his position, but the right opponent can keep him busy without him breaking under the pressure. He'll face one such chance in Sunday's derby at Real Sociedad, which have scored 14 goals in 10 games this season.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Iker Muniain - Another strong effort in draw Muniain took four shots (three on goal) and created two chances from seven crosses (two accurate) during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Impact Muniain helped his team to a healthy lead in most attacking statistics and came close to scoring if it weren't for some solid play by goalkeeper Diego Lopez. While he's only completed one full 90 all season, his one goal and 13 chances created in his last three starts still warrant the attention he's getting from opposing defenses. Up next is a trip to Real Sociedad, which have conceded the fourth-fewest goals in La Liga.

Inigo Lekue - Logs second assist in three matches Lekue provided one assist from two chances created and won three-of-three tackles during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Impact Lekue has performed capably well in recent weeks with two assists and 10 total crosses form his last three matches. While once a backup option at fullback, he's started in nine of his 10 appearances this season while Yuri Berchiche remains out with a groin injury and hasn't wasted his opportunity to play. Up next is the derby at Real Sociedad, which have conceded the seventh-most crosses to defenders in La Liga.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Inaki Williams - Scores in win Williams scored one goal from four shots (one on goal) and created three chances during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Impact Williams has recorded one goal from 11 shots (four on target) and one assist from six chances created over his last four starts. Following a five-match scoreless streak, other aspects of his game were suggesting that a goal wasn't far off given how well he and his teammates were playing. Up next is the derby trip to Real Sociedad, which have conceded the fourth-fewest goals in La Liga.

Dani Vivian - Picks up muscle injury in draw Vivian suffered a muscular injury in his right leg during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol, his club announced Wednesday.

Impact Vivian had started in all but one game so far this season but should be considered a doubt for much of the next two weeks of matches. As a result, Unai Nunez will get his own chance to start after returning from over a month out with an ankle issue, likely beginning with Sunday's derby at Real Sociedad.

Inigo Martinez - Late-scratch Tuesday Martinez will not be in the starting XI against Espanyol on Tuesday due to stomach pains while Dani Vivian will start in Martinez's place.

Impact Martinez was listed on the club's initial starting XI but was a late scratch after developing stomach pains pregame. The defender had logged the full 90 minutes in all nine of the club's matches this year and will miss out for the first time this season.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Nunez - Held in reserve Tuesday Nunez (ankle) will be an option off the bench against Espanyol on Tuesday.

Impact Prior to his three-game absence due to his ankle problem, Nunez was a healthy scratch in six of the club's first seven contests. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting the central defender to offer much in the way of value moving forward.
