Fali - Brought off with injury Fali (undisclosed) was brought off with an apparent injury during Monday's one-all draw with Elche.

Impact Fali was brought off with an apparent injury Monday, limping off in the first half. The defender was replaced by Mamadou Mbaye, who could see more playing time if Fali is ruled out for a Saturday trip to Sevilla on short rest.

Mamadou Mbaye - On bench against Elche Mbaye (undisclosed) is in Cadiz's match day squad for Monday's clash against Elche.

Impact Mbaye is back in Cadiz's squad Monday for the first time since October after recovering from injury, and the center-back could see some playing time off the bench. He has started in all three of his La Liga appearances this season.

Alfonso Espino - Makes six clearances Espino blocked a shot and made six clearances during Friday's 1-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Espino was a part of the the Cadiz back four that kept a clean sheet on Friday. The full-back made six clearances in the match, the third most on the team, while helping Cadiz to his fourth clean sheet during his time on the pitch.

Jeremias Ledesma - Shuts out Valencia Ledesma kept a clean sheet while making two saves during Friday's 1-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Ledesma helped Cadiz claim all three points by shutting out Valencia on Friday. The clean sheet was the fifth in 16 starts for the keeper while his two saves upped his season total to a league-high 72.

Ruben Alcaraz - Claims all three points Alcaraz scored a goal while tkaing three shots (one on goal), making three interceptions and five tackles (winning all five) during Friday's 1-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Alcaraz found the back of the net in the ninth minute scoring the lone goal of the match. The goal was the first of the season in 12 appearances for the midfielder as he led Cadiz in shots, interceptions and tackles during the victory.

Fali - Starting Friday Fali (undisclosed) will feature in the starting XI versus Valencia on Friday.

Impact Fali will make his fifth straight appearance in the starting XI, shaking off the undisclosed injury that was plaguing him in the lead-up. While the defender should rack up plenty of clearances and tackles, he shouldn't be expected to produce offensively considering he has just one shot on target this season.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fali - Named to traveling squad Fali (undisclosed) was included in the squad list ahead of Friday's clash with Valencia.

Impact Fali started each of his previous four contests, in which he generated 12 clearances, seven tackles (two won) and four blocks, so he should be in contention to start Friday. Still, even if he does feature, Fali won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, given his limited offensive upside.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cala - Left out of squad Cala (undisclosed) was not included in the squad list ahead of a matchup with Valencia on Friday.

Impact Cala was forced off in the 73rd minute against Real Madrid on Nov. 10 while making just his first start of the season. Considering the defender has been an unused substitute nine times, he probably shouldn't be expected to slot into the starting XI even once cleared to play.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mamadou Mbaye - Still sidelined against Valencia Mbaye (undisclosed) remains on the shelf heading into Friday's clash with Valencia.

Impact Even once cleared to return, Mbaye will be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes for Cadiz, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests moving forward.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

David Gil - Absence continues Gil (undisclosed) will not be an option against Valencia on Friday.

Impact Gil was unlikely to feature even if available, so his lingering injury absence shouldn't impact most fantasy players. Even once fit, Gil figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests as long as Jeremias Ledesma remains healthy.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Víctor Chust - Remains unavailable Chust (undisclosed) was once again left out of the squad list ahead of Friday's matchup with Valencia.

Impact Chust will be on the shelf for his third consecutive matchup due to his lingering injury concerns. At this point, it might be fair to consider Chust out indefinitely until the team provides a more concrete update on his return to action. Once fit, the central defender should retake his place in the starting XI where he figures to continue piling up defensive stats.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Alcaraz - Provided chances versus Almeria Alcaraz created three chances and had one shot on target in Friday's 1-1 draw with Almeria.

Impact While he didn't have a goal contribution, Alcaraz provided plenty of chances versus Almeria. His three chances created were the best on the team despite being subbed off for Jose Mari in the 69th minute. Alcaraz has yet to have a goal contribution this season, but his performance versus Almeria shows that they may be coming soon.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremias Ledesma - Nine saves in draw Ledesma saved nine of 10 shots on target in Friday's 1-1 draw with Almeria.

Impact Ledesma played like a brick wall Friday, saving nine of the 10 shots he faced. His defense did not give him much help, but the Argentinian goalkeeper still found a way to play one of his best games of the season. Ledesma and the Cadiz defense will face a more difficult matchup next Friday as the team travels to Valencia, who are tied for fifth in the league in scoring.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Perez - Nets one in draw Perez scored a goal on two shots (one on target) and created one chance in Friday's 1-1 draw with Almeria.

Impact Perez replaced Theo Bongonda in the 55th minute and provided the key play of the game, an 83rd minute goal to secure a draw. This was the 34-year-old forward's third goal of the season, with all three coming off the bench. Perez has only played a full 90 minutes in three out of 14 appearances and has not started a game in the past five matches. If his minutes do not increase, it will be difficult to rely on him to be a consistent option, especially given Cadiz have only scored 10 goals in 15 matches.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fali - Comes off limping Fali was brought off limping during the second half of Friday's clash with Almeria.

Impact Fali was unable to carry on after coming up limping following a sprint. The defender was replaced by Carlos Garcia, who could take over in the starting XI if Fali is unable to return before a Friday trip to Valencia.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Parra Artal - Withdrawn from loan Parra has been withdrawn from his loan to Mirandes, Cadiz announced Monday.

Impact Parra's loan was actually withdrawn due to his good form convincing Cadiz he could offer something to the first team. The right back could see playing time as soon as Friday, though with just three training sessions under his built it's unclear if Parra will be anything more than a depth option in the short term.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Youba Diarra - Headed to Cadiz Diarra has completed a transfer from RB Salzburg to Cadiz, Cadiz announced Tuesday.

Impact Diarra has joined Cadiz after spending multiple seasons on loan from Salzburg. The midfielder has struggled to garner major playing time with the Austrian side but will hope to earn a larger role in Spain. Diarra passed his medical and could be ready to play as soon as a Friday clash with Valencia.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

David Gil - Unavailable Friday Gil was not included in the squad list versus Almeria on Friday due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Gil was unlikely to get the start over Jeremias Ledesma, so his absence shouldn't impact the majority of fantasy players. In his stead, Victor Aznar will serve as the backup option behind Ledesma.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cala - Missing from squad list Cala is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will keep him out of the squad list versus Almeria on Friday.

Impact Cala has served primarily as a bench option this season but did make his first start of the season before the World Cup break. Even once cleared to play, Cala figures to be a low-end fantasy target given his inability to earn consistent starts.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Alejo - Suspended Friday Alejo will not be available versus Almeria on Friday following his fifth yellow card.

Impact Alejo was making his first appearance in the starting XI in five matches when he was booked for the fifth time this season. In 12 total matches (eight starts), the midfielder has registered one assist, eight shots (one on target) and 44 crosses (eight accurate). If he can secure more consistent starts, Alejo's ability to push the attack should allow him to provide solid fantasy value.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mamadou Mbaye - Missing out against Almeria Mbaye (undisclosed) was not included in the squad list to face Almeria on Friday.

Impact Mbaye has been frequently sidelined due to injuries this season, making just three appearances this year. Without a clear path to the starting XI, the defender probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Víctor Chust - Not in squad list Chust (undisclosed) was left out of the squad list ahead of Friday's matchup with Almeria.

Impact Chust will be sidelined for his second consecutive matchup due to his lingering injury concerns. Prior to getting hurt, the defender started nine of his 11 contests and should continue to feature prominently in the starting XI once given the all-clear.
