Victor Ruiz - On bench against Rayo Ruiz (hamstring) is in Betis' match day squad for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Ruiz has missed Betis' last four four La Liga games with a hamstring injury, but he is on the bench Sunday for the second game in a row in all competitions, and might get his first minutes since Sept. 19.

Rui Silva - Keeps clean sheet in win Silva kept a clean sheet with two saves made during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Silva earned his first clean sheet since joining Betis and helped to secure just his second win in six starts. Like a few other players on this team, now is a good time to get into rhythm before the next international window, but things won't be easy in the next match against a high-scoring Rayo Vallecano.

Hector Bellerin - Creates two chances in win Bellerin created two chances from five crosses (two accurate) during Monday's 1-0 win over Real Betis.

Impact Bellerin is starting to make his presence felt for Betis with three chances created on nine crosses in his last two starts. Now that he has a few weeks until the next international break, he could be a reliable asset if he can stay fit. He'll next face Rayo Vallecano, which are tied for the fifth-fewest crosses conceded to defenders in La Liga.

Sergio Canales - Active in win Canales put three shots off target and created two chances during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportio Alaves.

Impact Canales only played 65 minutes during this match, which isn't what's needed for generating fantasy value from an important attacking player. That being said, he hasn't completed a full 90 since the second match of the season and didn't play in the final matches before the international break, so he's currently fitting into expectations. Up next is a visit from Rayo Vallecano, which have conceded nine goals in nine matches this season.

Joaquin - Logs assist off bench Joaquin logged one assist from two chances created in 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Joaquin has started both Europa League matches but come off the bench in all six of his La Liga appearances this season, so his value isn't ideal even with a major impact on this match. Unless injuries force him into the lineup, there isn't much else that falls in Joaquin's favor for fantasy this late into his long career, aside from his consistent starts in other competitions.

Borja Iglesias - Scores in win Iglesias scored one goal on his only shot in 14 minutes off the bench during Monday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Iglesias helped to snatch a late road win in his fourth appearance off the bench in five league matches. While staying consistent hasn't been a theme for Iglesias over the last two seasons, he's a streaky player who could be a worthy target should this goal turn into a start and further good performances. Up next is a visit from Rayo Vallecano, which have scored the second-most goals in La Liga.

Rui Silva - Concedes two in loss Silva made two saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Silva made his second consecutive start, once again getting the nod over Claudio Bravo. He was beaten once each half, but couldn't do much to prevent either goal. The goalkeeper is yet to keep a clean sheet after six starts in all competitions this season and will try to shut the opposition down for the first time during Oct. 18 visit to Alaves.

Hector Bellerin - Makes six clearances in loss Bellerin created one chance, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made six clearances during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Bellerin had some interesting moments on the offensive end and paced his side in clearances, but could've done much better on both goals as Arnaut Danjuma scored twice while finding spaces at his back. Bellerin and Martin Montoya are taking turns as Betis' starting right back for now, so it's still to be known who'll get the nod for Oct. 18 visit to Alaves.

Willian Jose - Creates three chances in loss Jose had zero shots and three chances created during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Jose was coming from scoring three and adding one assist over the previous three matches, but this time he couldn't be as effective in front of the goal, failing to take a single shot while he was on the pitch. On the other hand, the forward could at least save some fantasy value creating opportunities for his teammates. Jose will try to get back to his scoring ways during Oct. 18 visit to Alaves.

Nabil Fekir - Fills stat sheet in loss Fekir had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in eight crosses (three accurate), made two tackles (won both), drew four fouls and picked up a yellow card during...

Impact Fekir was once against Betis' best player on the pitch, racking up some nice numbers and doing everything he could to help his side against a strong Villarreal side, but his efforts weren't enough. The attacker has two goals and two assists over 10 starts in all competitions this season and impressive stats in any given category, so he'll probably be a nice fantasy pickup for Oct. 18 visit to Alaves.

Diego Lainez - Makes Europa League squad Lainez (ankle) is in the preliminary squad list for Thursday's clash with Ferencvaros.

Impact Lainez was seen back in training recently and his return to the squad, even if he fails to make the starting XI, is a great sign. The forward likely won't be rushed back, but could see time off the bench against Villarreal on Sunday.

Claudio Bravo - Keeps clean sheet in win Bravo made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Bravo had a nice performance between the sticks, showing safety the few times he was called into action and keeping his first clean sheet of the season. With 11 saves saves and six goals conceded over four starts this campaign, the goalkeeper will need to be at his best during next Sunday's visit to Villarreal and goalscoring machine Gerard Moreno.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

German Pezzella - Makes seven clearances in win Pezzella made one tackle and seven clearances while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Pezzella was rock-solid at the heart of the defense, leading all players in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay during the entire match, being an essential piece for his side to be able to shut the opposition down. The centre back doesn't have his place in the starting XI cemented yet, but will hope this showing was good enough for him to remain on the team for next Sunday's visit to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

William Carvalho - Makes 10 tackles in win over Getafe Carvalho had one off-target shot, made 10 tackles (seven won), drew three fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Carvalho simply bossed the middle of the park here, racking up a whopping 10 tackles, his season best, and making life much easier for centre backs with his positioning and tenacity. This was easily the best performance of the season for the midfielder and he'll hope to keep it up during Sunday's visit to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Borja Iglesias - Takes four shots off bench in win Iglesias had four shots (one on target) and created two chances after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Iglesias was brought in the 65th minute, replacing Willian Jose, and played with a lot of intensity, being second on his side in shots attempts making some dangerous plays despite of the short playing time. Iglesias is always able to contribute, but, with Jose coming from scoring three goals over the last two matches, it will be difficult for him to reclaim his starting spot for Sunday's visit to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nabil Fekir - Provides assist in win Fekir made an assist, had five shots (two on target), created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Fekir was all over the place here, pacing his side in shots attempted, which included a great individual effort finished with a beautiful shot from just outside the box that hit the top-corner woodwork. The attacked also created for his teammates as usual, boosted by his role on set pieces. With one goal and two assists over eight starts this season, Fekir will be once again Betis' biggest weapon for next Sunday's visit to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Willian Jose - Nets brace in win over Getafe Jose scored two goals off four shots (two on target), created one chance and made two tackles (both won) during Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Jose made just his second start of the season and was clinical in front of the goal, finding the back of the net once each half to give his side a 2-0 victory. The striker scored three times over his last two appearances and this will probably help him to remain in the lineup next Sunday when his side visits Villarreal.
