Jan Oblak - Concedes own goal against Getafe Oblak made a save but scored an own goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Oblak was unfortunate with his own goal Tuesday as a powerful Stefan Mitrovic header hit the post and then bounced off Oblak's hand and into the net. But his side recovered and took all three points thanks to a late Luis Suarez brace. On Saturday he will face Alaves, which have scored just once in four La Liga matches.

Mario Hermoso - Records assist against Getafe Hermoso assisted a goal and made a clearance in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Hermoso subbed into Tuesday's game in the 62nd minute and he set up the opening goal with his first La Liga assist in 11 months. He is likely to return to the starting lineup Saturday against Alaves if Simeone returns to the back three Atletico has used for most of the season.

Sime Vrsaljko - Records assist in win Vrsaljko subbed into Tuesday's match against Getafe in the 84th minute and he assisted a goal in the 2-1 victory.

Impact Vrsaljko set up Luis Suarez's winning goal Tuesday with a cross in what was just his second appearance of the season. He is still very much the backup option at right back/right wing back behind Kieran Trippier, but maybe he can finally find come into his own this season after so many inconsistent years at Atletico thus far.

Luis Suarez - Scores brace against Getafe Suarez took four shots (three on target) and scored two goals in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Getafe.

Impact Suarez turned Tuesday's game around with a brace in the final 12 minutes, turning a would-be shock defeat into three points. He's had somewhat of a slow start this season with just three goals through six La Liga games (three starts), but he is still likely to heat up as the season moves along. He had five goals through the first 11 games last season before going on a run of 11 goals in the next nine from December to early February.

Koke - Out vs. Getafe Koke (thigh) is out for Tuesday's clash with Getafe after not making the preliminary squad.

Impact Koke is out after missing Saturday's clash with Bilbao, and is firmly questionable for Saturday's trip to Alaves. Look for Rodrigo De Paul to fill in for Koke in the heart of the Atleti midfield.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Geoffrey Kondogbia - Doesn't make initial squad Kondogbia (strain) is out of the initial squad list for Tuesday's clash with Getafe.

Impact Kondogbia was always going to be questionable with a very quick turnaround and it appears he hasn't made it through the late test. The midfielder won't be in the preliminary squad list, and will likely be replaced by Hector Herrera. Kondogbia will hope to make the team for Saturday's trip away to Alaves.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Gimenez - Keeps clean sheet in draw Gimenez kept a clean sheet with three blocks made and two tackles won during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Gimenez has played twice this week and recorded two clean sheets at home. He'll now head out for a longer road trip against Getafe, Deportivo Alaves and AC Milan in the UCL.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yannick Carrasco - Comes off bench in draw Carrasco created one chance from four crosses (one accurate) and put one shot off target during 35 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Carrasco put up as many crosses in a third of the match as he did in all of the UCL draw with Porto, which is a good sign of how consistent he is. A bigger squad permits more rotation, so Carrasco may not be a guarantee to start every match when he's not in top form or if there are numerous games to play in a week. Up next are trips to Getafe and Deportivo Alaves.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Logs 35 minutes in draw Suarez created one chance and put one shot off target in 35 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Suarez has scored just one goal all season but has also started just twice in La Liga. Following the arrival of Antoine Griezmann, he appears to be under a program to manage his minutes as he gets older, but his production hasn't warranted playing more frequently than he has already following a busy 2020 into the summer of 2021. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which have conceded eight goals in five games.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet in draw Oblak kept a clean sheet with no saves made during Saturday's scoreless draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Oblak is starting to find his stride with clean sheets in consecutive matches across all competitions after conceding three goals in two matches against Villarreal and Espanyol. He'll get another two easier matchups against Getafe and Deportivo Alaves, which have combined to score two goals in their first nine total matches.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Felix - Sent off in draw Felix was sent off during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club after earning two yellow cards.

Impact Felix is sure to miss Tuesday's trip to Getafe so long as no other sanction is handed out. This leaves Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez, Angel Correa and potentially Matheus Cunha to fill out the forward spots until Felix is available.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Geoffrey Kondogbia - Leaves early in draw Kondogbia picked up a knock during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club, according to MARCA.

Impact Kondogbia isn't expected to be available for Tuesday's trip to Getafe but this injury isn't likely to keep him out for long. In his absence, Hector Herrera could make his first start of the season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Griezmann - Takes two shots in draw Griezmann put two shots off target in 55 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Griezmann still has yet to find the back of the net this season and hasn't put a shot on goal as well. One can hope that this will change in a team full of attacking talent, but at this point it's important to wait and see when he can execute. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which have scored just once this season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Correa - Starts in draw Correa put two shots off target in 60 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Correa has been a starter in all five league matches this season but he's failed to put a shot on target in his last three. A combination between he an Antoine Griezmann may not have worked as well as expected, and he'll next face another defensively sound opponent in Tuesday's trip to Getafe.

Koke - Out against Bilbao Koke has been left out of Atletico's match day squad for Saturday's clash against Bilbao due to a thigh injury.

Impact Koke suffered a thigh strain in Wednesday's Champions League draw against Porto, and he will miss Saturday's match as well. With Lemar out as well, manager Diego Simeone may turn to Rodrigo De Paul, Geoffrey Kondogbia or Hector Herrera in central midfield.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Griezmann - Comes off bench against Porto Griezmann played 34 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's draw against Porto. He created one chance, sent one cross and made two tackles (one won).

Impact The Frenchman came off the bench Wednesday, as Diego Simeone chose to start Luis Suarez and Angel Correa upfront. It remains to be seen if the former Barcelona star will gain a starting role any time soon, but performances such as this one don't help his cause.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Takes three shots but can't score Suarez took three shots (one on target) in Wednesday's draw against Porto. He also made one tackle.

Impact Suarez has scored just one goal this season, but the fact that he's started in each of the last three matches suggests the goals should start coming soon. Atletico are loaded in the attacking third, but Suarez should remain a reliable goalscoring threat every time he steps on the pitch.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Llorente - Limited impact against Porto Llorente sent one cross and made one tackle in Wednesday's draw against Porto.

Impact Llorente had an impressive season in 2020-21, but he hasn't been able to deliver the same numbers through the first few weeks of the current campaign. He's yet to score or assist in five games across all competitions, and if he can't crack the scoresheet, then his fantasy upside gets reduced considerably.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet in UCL debut Oblak kept a clean sheet and made one save in Wednesday's draw against Porto.

Impact Oblak has been extremely reliable for Atletico Madrid and this season hasn't been any different, as he has given up one or fewer goals in four of his five appearances in all competitions. Barring any sort of injury, he should remain between the posts for Atletico throughout the remainder of the group stage.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Thomas Lemar - Out with muscular injury Lemar picked up a muscular injury during Wednesday's scoreless draw with Porto.

Impact Lemar is expected to be out for at least three games, as the injury is considered minor and shouldn't put him out for more than 10 days. If the situation changes, expect a return after the October international break, though the signs suggest it won't take that long. Rodrigo De Paul took his place on the pitch during Wednesday's match but Yannick Carrasco and Marcos Llorente are also options to fill Lemar's role in the attack.
