Antoine Griezmann - Called up for Champions League Griezmann (thigh) is in Atletico's squad list for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Manchester United.

Impact Griezmann hasn't played since suffering a thigh injury in a Copa del Rey game in early January, but he has recently rejoined training and was an unused substitute against Osasuna in La Liga at the weekend. He might be fit enough to see some playing time against United, even if it's not in a starting role yet.

Rodrigo De Paul - Suspended in win De Paul missed Saturday's victory against Osasuna with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact De Paul was suspended for Saturday's game after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, but he will be available for selection once again next weekend and return to the starting XI.

Yannick Carrasco - Suspended against Man United Carrasco is suspended for Wednesday's match against Manchester United after being sent off in the final group match.

Impact Carrasco is recently back from COVID-19 and now he's suspended midweek. That'll at least allow him to get back to full strength for the next league match. Atletico have a few options to use in Carrasco's absence, but Thomas Lemar seems most likely to get into the XI, which was the case in prior contests.

Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet in win Oblak kept a clean sheet with four saves made during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Oblak has conceded just one goal over his last two matches, which is far more normal to what we've expected from him over the last few seasons. As the team still doesn't look perfect defensively, Oblak probably isn't worth relying on in perfect fashion as he once was. Up next is the UCL match against Manchester United before facing Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Angel Correa - Scores off bench Correa scored one goal from one shot in nine minutes off the bench during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Correa has been the most in-form attacker for an inconsistent team by scoring seven goals over his last seven appearances. Even with Luis Suarez finding the net in Saturday's win in impressive style, Correa could be a more reliable target ahead of Wednesday's UCL match against Manchester United.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Koke - Provides assist in win Koke provided one assist from one chance created and put one shot off target during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Koke hasn't had the best of seasons, but as a defensively-focused player in the worst defensive team in years under manager Diego Simeone, he's doing well to ride the form of his side. What will be more important is if he can reproduce his assist against Manchester United in the UCL on Wednesday, as Koke and his teammates have struggled to stay consistent.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Scores in win Suarez scored one goal from one shot in 72 minutes of Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Suarez has scored two times in his last four appearances, which is far better than he's been for much of the past three months. One should expect him to stay motivated in the UCL against Manchester United, which have been as inconsistent defensively as Suarez's own team this season.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Felix - Scores, assists in win Felix scored one goal from one shot and provided one assist from one chance created during Saturday's 3-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Felix had struggled with consistency for most of 2021 but he finally seems to be back to his best form with one goal and two assists in his last three appearances (one start). It will be worth seeing if he keeps up the pace in the UCL against Manchester United before hosting Celta Vigo, which are tied for the fifth-fewest goals conceded in La Liga.

Yannick Carrasco - Back in starting XI Carrasco (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Osasuna.

Impact Carrasco returns to the XI Saturday after missing the last week with COVID-19. His numbers haven't been overly great this season, but part of that has been injury and illness, as he's on three goals and five assists through 22 appearances (20 starts).

FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Griezmann - Returns to training Griezmann (thigh) is back in training and hopes to be available against Osasuna, according to Javi Gomez.

Impact Griezmann was spotted in training and is reported to be available against Osasuna in a minor capacity. Barring any set-backs it appears Griezmann will be fully available against Manchester United in the Champions League.

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Concedes one in loss Oblak conceded one goal and made four saves during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.

Impact Oblak performed much better than his first two matches in February, as he only conceded one instead of seven in the first two games against Barcelona and Getafe. Still, he remains on the losing end and without a clean sheet even against one of the lowest-scoring sides in the league. He needs to capitalize on his better effort from Wednesday against Osasuna, which have scored 25 goals in 24 matches so far.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Llorente - Provides five crosses in loss Llorente provided five inaccurate crosses and put one shot off target during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.

Impact The ever-versatile continues to play at right-back following the departure of Kieran Tripper and even well before his departure due to an injury for the Englishman. By now, it's become apparent that Llorente's attacking output isn't the same as it has been in past seasons, though last year's 12 goals and 11 assists could just be an anomaly. Up next is a trip to Osasuna before an all-important UCL tie against Manchester United.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reinildo Mandava - Logs five crosses in loss Reinildo created one chance from five crosses during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.

Impact Reinildo has featured in three matches so far since joining at the winter transfer deadline. With three chances created and 11 crosses provided in that time, he hasn't performed poorly, but the defense continues to be a weak point after a bad midweek loss. Up next is a trip to Levante before the UCL returns against Manchester United the following Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Comes off bench in loss Suarez put one shot off target in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante.

Impact Suarez came off the bench for the first time in seven matches after Matheus Cunha needed a replacement following a potential injury. With the UCL tie against Manchester United beginning Feb. 23, he may have to play extra minutes against Osasuna if Cunha is unavailable.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matheus Cunha - Hurts knee in loss Cunha failed to take a shot in 65 minutes of Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Levante. He also picked up a suspected knee injury, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Cunha had scored twice in his previous three league appearances but was replaced by Luis Suarez with plenty of time left on the clock. Up next is a trip to Osasuna before the UCL tie against Manchester United and Cunha will hope this injury doesn't keep him out for long.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Gimenez - Starting against Levante Gimenez (COVID-19) will feature in the starting XI versus Levante on Wednesday.

Impact Gimenez has played in just three of the club's previous 10 contests due to various ailments but has started whenever available. In that trio of appearances, the defender has generated one assist, two shots (zero on target) and 15 clearances. While he figures to serve primarily as a defensive option, Gimenez should continue to be a target in the box on freekicks and corners.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matheus Cunha - Logs goal during start Cunha scored one goal across 74 minutes during a 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Cunha has five goals across his last 13 La Liga appearances. But despite fellow striker Antoine Griezmann (thigh) being unavailable across most of that 13-appearance span, the Brazilian logged four starts -- Angel Correa and Joao Felix have more.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Felipe - Receives straight red card Felipe received a straight red card during the 58th minute of Atletico Madrid's 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Felipe kicked Mauro Arambarri's left arm while trying to clear a ball in mid-air. Because of the resulting red card, he will not play against Levante or Osasuna on Wednesday and Saturday. Felipe remains eligible to play UEFA Champions League games.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Felix - Logs assist off bench Felix logged one assist across 16 minutes during a 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Felix logged his first La Liga assist this year. Antoine Griezmann's ongoing thigh injury is allowing the Portuguese striker to receive adequate playing time, albeit less than that of fellow backup Angel Correa.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Correa - Scores two goals during start Correa scored two goals across 74 minutes during a 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Correa scored six goals across his last five La Liga appearances. He and Joao Felix have been sharing starts in place of an injured Antoine Griezmann (thigh). However, Correa is supplying a better statistical output -- than Felix is -- since the Frenchman's injury.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Hermoso - Records goal off bench Hermoso scored one goal across 30 minutes during a 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Hermoso logged Atletico Madrid's game-winning fourth goal Saturday. Despite playing off the bench, fantasy managers should not expect him benched regularly. Hermoso recorded a start concerning all but one of his last eight La Liga appearances.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Thomas Lemar - Logs assist as wide midfielder Lemar logged one assist during a 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Lemar logged the assist -- his first this year -- by recording an accurate cross to Angel Correa, who scored Atletico Madrid's third goal Saturday. The Frenchman was a left midfielder four times across his last five La Liga appearances and will remain such until further notice.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Another bad stat line Oblak conceded three goals during a 4-3 win Saturday versus Getafe.

Impact Oblak has been having a bad 2022 fantasy-wise. Across five La Liga games this year, he is averaging 2.2 goals conceded and 0.6 saves. Oblak will try to get back on track against Levante next Wednesday.
