Nahuel Molina - Provides assist versus Poland Molina provided an assist, created two chances, sent in one accurate cross, made two tackles (one won), one clearance and one block and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during...

Impact Molina was back in the starting XI here and more than made up for the lack of peripheral fantasy numbers with his assist for Alexis Mac Allister to open the scoring in the first minute of the second half. This huge contribution is probably more than enough for the right-back to remain in the lineup for Saturday's Round of 16 clash against Australia.

Koke - Comes off bench in draw Koke played for 24 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Germany.

Alvaro Morata - Finds net in win Morata scored one goal from one shot in 36 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Germany.

Impact Morata continues to be the first forward off the bench in a role that's rewarded him with two goals and an assist in two games. In the right situations, he's worth the pick given how well he does in limited minutes.

Antoine Griezmann - Gets busy in win Griezmann logged one assist from three chances created on eight crosses (three accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Denmark.

Impact Griezmann has looked even more impressive for his national team with one assist from nine chances in two games. As goals have become a key part of France's early performances, Griezmann will be one of a few options on his team.

Alvaro Morata - Scores, assists off bench Morata scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and logged one assist from one chance created in 33 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 7-0 win over Costa Rica.

Impact Though he didn't start, Morata did well to work on a bad reputation of missing the mark in major tournaments. Keeping up his goalscoring is sure to be a tougher task, though first he needs to earn his place in the lineup back from Marco Asensio, who scored in the match as well.

Marcos Llorente - Substitute option Wednesday Llorente (undisclosed) will be available off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with Costa Rica.

Impact Llorente has logged just 17 international appearances for Spain, including six qualification contests in which he recorded a pair of assists. Considering he has started nine of those matches and subbed on in the other eight, he is far from guaranteed to earn a spot in the starting XI.
