Impact Cunha recorded his first La Liga goal. Recording more of that will be rare until further notice, considering he played fewer than 30 minutes during all but one Spanish-league game this year.

Felipe - Records first assist Felipe recorded one assist during a 2-2 draw Thursday against Levante.
Impact Despite being one of three central defenders unable to prevent the Levante team from scoring two goals, Felipe somewhat redeemed himself by recording his first La Liga assist.

Kieran Trippier - Attempts five crosses during start Trippier attempted five crosses during a 2-2 draw Thursday against Levante.
Impact Trippier averaged 3.7 crosses attempted across his last seven La Liga starts. He recorded the latter tally among eight Atletico Madrid games despite not doing much fantasy-wise besides crossing.

Jan Oblak - Allows two goals again Oblak conceded two goals during a 2-2 draw Thursday against Levante.
Impact Oblak conceded goals twice during each of his last two La Liga appearances. He will try to redeem himself during the Atletico Madrid team's next game, Sunday versus Betis.

Marcos Llorente - Out against Levante Llorente (hamstring) will be out for Thursday's clash with Levante, after failing to make the initial squad list.
Impact Llorente will be out for Thursday's match as he failed to make the initial squad list. This is a big concern for the midfielder after he re-injured his hamstring against Liverpool. He will hope to make his return Sunday, against Betis.

Jan Oblak - Concedes two in draw Oblak conceded two goals and made two saves during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad.
Impact Oblak has conceded five goals over his last two starts between the league and UCL, which isn't a favorable record for someone who usually ends his seasons with clean sheets in over half of his games. As a result, he'll need to do better against Levante, which are tied for the fourth-fewest shots on goal in La Liga.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Lemar - Busy in first half Lemar created three chances from five crosses (two accurate) during the first half of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad.
Impact Lemar has started each of the last three matches across all competitions but wasn't used past halftime in this game. Still, he's scored once, added one assist and created six chances in these starts, so his productivity is certainly there if his minutes aren't. Should he put the two together, Lemar could offer another viable option from Los Colchoneros. Up next is a trip to Levante, which feature the worst defense in La Liga.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kieran Trippier - Provides six crosses in draw Trippier created one chance from six crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad.
Impact Trippier has created two chances over his last two matches to go with eight total crosses. These are better numbers from someone who isn't often asked to get forward with any frequency, so it's worth tracking the situation to see if it continues. He'll next travel to Levante, which have conceded the most goals in La Liga.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Suarez - Scores twice in draw Suarez scored two goals from three shots (all on target) and created two chances during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad.
Impact Suarez has scored in three straight league starts and logged six goals and one assist over his last five La Liga appearances. After a slow start to the season, he's picked up his pace and it's helped the current Champions record a few more guaranteed victories. It will also set him up well for a trip to Levante, which hold the worst defensive record in La Liga.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Felix - Logs assist in draw Felix provided one assist from two chances created and put three shots off target during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad.
Impact Felix has recorded assists in two straight matches between the league and UCL, which is the first time he's achieved the feat over the last couple of seasons. If he's finally able to match his productions to his evident talents, Felix should be one of the better players on offer for his team and in the league. Until then, he'll focus on traveling to Levante, which have the worst defensive record in La Liga.

Luis Suarez - Subs on late against Liverpool Suarez played the last 10 minutes of Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Suarez was surprisingly left off out of the starting XI in an important matchup against Liverpool. He replaced Thomas Lemar in the 80th minute and should return to the lineup Sunday against Real Sociedad.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Oblak - Concedes three goals Oblak conceded three goals and made three saves during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Oblak was beaten twice in the first half and then once in the second half as Liverpool came away with an important victory. He should have a much easier matchup during Sunday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Llorente came off the bench during Tuesday's match and re-injured his right hamstring. His second hamstring injury in the last month this is a bad sign for the midfielder.

Impact Griezmann was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Roberto Firmino where he kicked the Brazilian in the head. Griezmann will at least miss a Nov. 3 trip to Liverpool, and could miss more time if it's judged to be a dangerous or violent foul. Luis Suarez figures to play alongside Joao Felix at Anfield in place of Griezmann.

Jose Gimenez - Held in reserve Tuesday Gimenez (groin) was named to the match-day squad versus Liverpool on Tuesday.
Impact Gimenez has been an unused substitute just twice this season, having started all eight of his appearances for the team. Even when the central defender is on the pitch, he'll only really offer fantasy value in formats that value defensive stats considering he has recorded 31 clearance, 13 interceptions and seven blocks but just 10 shots (one on target).
OCTOBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marcos Llorente - Available as substitute Llorente (hamstring) will be on the bench against Liverpool on Tuesday.
Impact Llorente had started all 10 matches for the club this season across domestic and European competition but will be watching from the bench for kickoff. Barring any setbacks, the midfielder should reclaim his spot in the starting XI when the club squares off with Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Matheus Cunha - On bench against Liverpool Cunha (thigh) will be available off the bench in Tuesday's UCL clash with Liverpool.
Impact Considering Cunha has yet to break into the starting XI since joining Atletico Madrid at the transfer deadline, the fact that he is being held in reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. Unless he can force his way onto the pitch, the forward should be considered a low-end fantasy target this year.
