Jeremias Ledesma - Keeps clean sheet in win Ledesma kept a clean sheet with six saves made during Friday's 1-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Ledesma put in one of his classic performances to help his side earn their first win of the season. These are the type of games that one could expect with more consistency over his first two years in La Liga, but that still wasn't a guarantee for consistent fantasy value. At the least, one can hope after a first good game that Ledesma and his teammates grow in confidence over the next few weeks.

Alvaro Negredo - Scores team's first of season Negredo scored one goal from one shot in 19 minutes off the bench during Friday's 1-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Negredo has started just once in six games and ended up with his team's first goal all season in the 92nd minute of Friday's match. While Negredo could earn an increased role on the back of an important moment, his playing time has been cut back behind Lucas Perez and it remains to be seen if he'll be permitted to start more frequently.

Joseba Zaldua - Sets up first goal of season Zaldua provided one assist in 19 minutes off the bench and conceded a yellow card during Friday's 1-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Zaldua came off the bench for the first time this season and made one of the most important plays to set up Alvaro Negredo for their team's first goal in six games. As Zaldua has already conceded three yellow cards, his value will remain lower unless his attacking contributions make a big leap.

Ivan Alejo - Provides four crosses in win Alejo logged four crosses and put one shot off target during Friday's 1-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Alejo also conceded four fouls during this contest. While he has logged 25 crosses in six games, he's also earned three bookings and his disciplinary issues make him less valuable in a team that's scored just one goal so far.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Perez - Logs six crosses in win Perez created one chance from six crosses (two accurate) and put two shots off target during Friday's 1-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Perez has started in four-of-six games this season and remains scoreless, though his team were able to score and secure their first win of the season. As he still has 11 crosses in his last two starts, Perez is likely to be the most reliable option from his team whether the team scores a goal a game or a goal a month.

Fali - Doesn't make squad list Jimenez didn't make the squad list for Friday's match against Valladolid due to undisclosed reasons.

Impact Jimenez was left on the bench in each of the last two matches and may just not be favored to play at the moment. Given that he can play in both midfield and in defense, there isn't room for Jimenez in the lineup now that Jose Mari is in the side and with Victor Chust regularly starting.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Choco Lozano - Won't play Friday Lozano (undisclosed) didn't make the squad list for Friday's match against Valladolid.

Impact Lozano had been considered a doubt after missing Saturday's loss to Barcelona and now he's officially out for one more game. Lucas Perez figures to start at striker and Alvaro Negredo could also join from kickoff.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cala - In squad list Cala made the squad list for Friday's match against Valladolid.

Impact Cala is in line to make his debut after overcoming injuries and fitness problems that kept him out so far. He played in 14 games last season and may not be much more than a role player.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cala - Has chance to play Cala (undisclosed) could make the squad list for Friday's match against Valladolid, according to Portal Cadista via manager Sergio Gonzalez.

Impact Cala is close to making his season debut if he gets his name in the squad by Friday. He only started in 10 games last season and may not be much more than a role player when fit.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Choco Lozano - Considered doubtful Lozano (undisclosed) is listed as a doubt for Friday's match against Valladolid, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Portal Cadista.

Impact Lozano doesn't look likely to play after not training throughout the week, though the squad list could still say otherwise. While he's out, Lucas Perez and Alvaro Negredo are the top options at striker.

Tomás Alarcon - Sent off in loss Alarcon was sent off in the 76th minute of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Alarcon was handed two bookings in the second half to pick up a one-match suspension. While he's out, Fede could enter the lineup for Monday's match against Athletic Club after making his season debut Saturday.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremias Ledesma - Concedes two in loss Ledesma conceded two goals and made two saves during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Ledesma has now conceded three goals in two games while making eight saves. With a team that's lacking in attacking support, Ledesma will need to increase his save count even more as the defense hasn't held up well to offer him clean sheet protection so far.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mamady Diarra - Takes three shots in loss Diarra put three shots off target in 62 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Diarra was at least able to put some efforts on target, which Awer Mabil can't say for himself as both he and Diarra debuted in this loss. They should get plenty of chances to play early in the season as the squad builds up its fitness but they need to up the stakes if they'll offer much in fantasy.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Awer Mabil - Starts in loss Mabil played for 62 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Mabil has grown increasing favor within his team but a handful of absences have him a chance to make his first start. Once Ivan Alejo is back, Mabil's value may remain low if he can't play enough to build up his rhythm.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alfonso Espino - Active in loss Espino won three-of-five tackles and committed two fouls during 75 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Espino has already won six tackles in two games but his side are winless with three goals conceded. As he's also committed three fouls, Espino needs to be careful to preserve what little he can offer by picking up bookings.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fede San Emeterio - Comes off bench in loss Fede played for 10 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Fede wasn't able to start as Tomas Alarcon made the lineup but he was able to earn his season debut. He started in 10 of his 12 appearances while on loan at Cadiz last season and could be a reliable if low-value option should he make the side in the new campaign.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Perea - Out against Osasuna Perea didn't make the squad list ahead of Saturday's trip to Osasuna.

Impact Perea had started in the last match against Real Sociedad but evidently took a knock and is no longer able to play. Awer Mabil could make his first start while Perea is out.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Blanco - Heads to Cadiz on loan Blanco has joined Cadiz on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, it was announced Thursday.

Impact Blanco is looking for his first chance to play regularly as a professional after only making five appearances for Real Madrid's first team over the last two seasons. While he's not the most active in the attack over his youth career, Blanco fits the profile of a hard-working central-midfielder that fits in well with his new side. Additionally, the terms of his deal seem to suggest he'll start frequently, so if that comes to pass he and Fede or Alex could form the partnership in midfield.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alex - Trains with teammates Alex participated in Wednesday's training session with his teammates ahead of Saturday's match against Osasuna, according to Portal Cadista.

Impact Alex was hurt for Sunday's opener against Real Sociedad and is now ramping up his participation ahead of the next contest. Fali Jimenez and Jose Mari started in midfield while Alex was absent but now that Fede is fit, the lineup could change this weekend.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Perea - Misses training Perea didn't participate in Wednesday's training session ahead of Saturday's trip to Osasuna, according to Portal Cadista.

Impact Perea doesn't appear to be hurt but also didn't train with three days to go before the next game. He only played for the first half of Sunday's loss to Real Sociedad and has a lot more to do if he's to be worth much in fantasy.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mamadou Mbaye - Back in training Mbaye (strain) returned to training during Wednesday's session ahead of Saturday's trip to Osasuna, according to Portal Cadista.

Impact Mbaye missed Sunday's loss to Real Sociedad but looks likely to be available if needed. As a backup center-back, Mbaye is unlikely to play much when fit.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Gimenez - Trains Wednesday Gimenez (strain) participated in Wednesday's training session ahead of Saturday's match against Osasuna, according to Portal Cadista.

Impact Gimenez missed the opening loss to Real Sociedad as a precaution but should be able to play if called upon. He spent last season on loan with Real Zaragoza in the second tier and figures to be a backup in the attack once fit.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fede San Emeterio - Returns to training Fede (undisclosed) returned to training during Tuesday's session ahead of Saturday's trip to Osasuna, according to Portal Cadista.

Impact Fede missed the opener against Real Sociedad but seems to be on track to make his season debut this weekend. While with Cadiz last season, Fede started in 17 of his 24 appearances and figures to be a regular option in midfield though his fantasy value isn't the highest.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremias Ledesma - Concedes one in loss Ledesma conceded one goal and made six saves during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Ledesma did well aside from a well-taken Takefusa Kuba strike, the only successful effort of the contest. Playing like this will be key for Ledesma to maintain fantasy relevance, as he doesn't have much of a guarantee for attacking support but a high save count can make up for goals he can't stop.
