Impact Savic came off the pitch immediately during Saturday's loss. Savic is one to watch heading into a Champions League clash with Porto, where he is on the wrong side of a potential game time decision.

Stefan Savic - Comes off injured early Savic (undisclosed) came off after 11 minutes during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.
Koke - Seven crosses in loss Koke sent in seven crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.
Impact Koke sent in more crosses than he has in any match so far in the 21/22 season. It's not worth chasing this production, and it's not as if he was particularly impressive with the opportunity. Koke is a consistent starter, but far from a consistent fantasy option.
DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Assists in start Correa provided one assist on one chance created during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.
Impact Correa made a start in a new position on the right wing and did well earning his fourth assist of the season. The forward is a solid fantasy option when starting, but due to Atleti's immense depth it's hard to know when he will start. He will take on Porto on Tuesday.
DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Matheus Cunha - Scores yet again Cunha scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Mallorca.
Impact Cunha scored for the second straight match, this time in a start, though this one ended in a defeat. The forward has earned a look-in at the starting XI and could be in line for some more consistent playing time going forward. Next up is a Tuesday clash with Porto in the Champions League.
DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Renan Lodi - Back in starting XI Lodi (back) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Mallorca.
Impact Lodi is back in the XI after missing last weekend's match with a back issue. His last start came in October when he made it 58 minutes and he's likely in the XI Saturday, so someone else can start Tuesday's midweek trip to Porto.
DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Felix - Makes bench Saturday Felix (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.
Impact Felix had been out the prior three contests with a muscle injury, but he's healthy enough to make the bench Saturday. If he can get a few minutes Saturday, there's a chance he'll be able to start Tuesday's UCL trip to Porto in a must-win spot.

Jan Oblak - Concedes late goal in win Oblak made zero saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Oblak didn't have any work coming his way until the 86th minute, when he was caught by surprise when Choco Lozano's cross was slightly deflected by a defender and the ball ended up going into the far post. The goalkeeper's reaction could've been much better though and his poor calculation cost him which would've been a second straight La Liga clean sheet. Oblak will try to bounce back during Saturday's home match against Mallorca.

Matheus Cunha - Scores, assists off bench in win Cunha scored a goal off his lone shot and provided an assist after coming off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Cunha replaced Luis Suarez as part of a double substitution in the 73rd minute and three minutes later assisted Angel Correa, who was brought alongside him, for his side's third goal. And the forward still found time to find the back of the net himself, sealing the 4-1 win in the closing minutes of the match. This was definitely Cunha's best performance since joining Atletico at the start of the season. He'll hope this helps him to get more playing time during Saturday's home clash against Mallorca.
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Correa - Scores off bench in win Correa scored a goal off two shots (both on target) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Correa was brought alongside Matheus Cunha as part of a double substitution in the 73rd minute and the duo needed only three minutes to make an impact, with Cunha assisting Correa for Atletico's third goal of the match. This was the first goal since Aug. 22 for Correa and he'll hope it helps him to get more playing time during Saturday's home clash against Mallorca.
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marcos Llorente - Provides assist in win Llorente provided an assist, created two chances, sent in three crosses (two accurate) and drew three fouls during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Llorente was deployed as a right back for the first time this season but didn't have much defensive work, which gave him some room to provide support on the attacking end, which incluided an assist to Antoine Griezmann for his side's second goal. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet of the season for Llorente, who made his third consecutive start after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for a month. Up next for him is Saturday's match against Mallorca.
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Antoine Griezmann - Scores, assists in win Griezmann scored a goal off three shots (one on target), provided an assist and created three chances during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Griezmann was one of the best performers here as he doubled his side's lead in the 70th minute with a one-timed shot off a pass from the left flank, assisted Matheus Cunha for the goal that sealed the 4-1 win and was involved in many other dangerous plays. After a slow start since rejoining Atletico, the attacker has been very productive as of late, with six goals and one assist over his last 10 appearances in all competitions. He'll try to keep adding to his tally during Saturday's home match against Mallorca.
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Yannick Carrasco - Provides assist in win Carrasco provided an assist, had two off-target shots, created three chances and sent in five crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Carrasco provided the usual width from the left flank, pacing his side with five crosses and one of them was headed home by Thomas Lemar for the opening goal of the match. This was the second consecutive La Liga game for the winger with an assist and he accumulated six shots, eight chances created and 13 crosses over these two. Up next for Carrasco is Saturday's home clash against Mallorca.
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Lemar - Scores opener in win Lemar scored a goal off two shots (both on target), created four chances, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cadiz.
Impact Lemar had one of his best performances of the season so far, opening the scoring for Atletico in the 56th minute and creating a lot for his teammates. After suffering a couple of injuries earlier this season, the midfielder will hope this showing is a sign of better things to come. He'll try to keep it up during Saturday's home match against Mallorca.
