Lucas Perez - Logs six crosses in loss Perez logged six crosses (one accurate) and conceded a yellow card during 73 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Perez figures to be the best of a middling bunch after also taking three set pieces in this game. Given how well Perez played down the stretch last season and has begun the new campaign, keep an eye on him over the other options from his team for now.

Choco Lozano - Takes two shots in loss Lozano took two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Lozano also committed four fouls in a tight loss to open the season. Coming off a seven-goal campaign last season, Lozano figures to be more useful, but he still plays in a team that doesn't cater to great fantasy value.

Alvaro Negredo - Enters as sub Negredo logged 17 minutes during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Negredo overcame preseason injury issues to make his debut off the bench. When fit, expect Negredo to start frequently after scoring seven goals and logging two assists in 34 appearances (24 starts) last season.

Ivan Alejo - Comes off bench in loss Alejo logged five crosses (one accurate) and conceded a yellow card in 25 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Alvaro Negredo - Should play Negredo is available for Sunday's match against Real Sociedad after training throughout the week, according to manager Sergio Gonzlaez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Negredo wasn't fully fit during the preseason but he should be ready to contribute for the coming campaign. Whether as a starter to open or from the bench is a different question, so for now Choco Lozano and Lucas Perez can be seen as starting options against La Real.

Ivan Alejo - Should play Alejo (undisclosed) trained with his teammates and is available for Sunday's match against Real Sociedad, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Alejo may not be able to start but he should feature in some capacity for a team with plenty of injury issues at the moment. He started 11 times in 20 appearances last season (two goals, two assists) and will likely hold a similar role in the coming campaign.

Fede San Emeterio - To miss opener Fede will miss Sunday's opener against Real Sociedad, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Fede just joined from Valladolid on a permanent deal and is likely lacking fitness, even though he's already been on loan at Cadiz in 2022. Once fit, he could easily earn some starts for a team with plenty of midfielders that don't offer much fantasy value.

Mamadou Mbaye - Out for opener Mbaye will miss Sunday's match against Real Sociedad as a precaution, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Mbaye is in line as the fifth option at center-back so while he won't play much his presence is still important. The losses of Varazdat Haroyan and Akapo mean that there are opportunities to climb the ladder among the defensive places this season.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Gimenez - Missing first match Gimenez will miss Sunday's match against Real Sociedad as a precaution, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Gimenez hasn't played for Cadiz in a couple of seasons but after a decent loan spell with five goals at Zaragoza, he'll hope to reinforce the attack when fit. Still, he'll mostly play as a backup over the coming season unless he reaches exceptional form.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Isaac Carcelén - Remains out for opener Iza (muscular) will miss Sunday's match against Cadiz, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Iza remains out due to muscular problems and won't be able to play in the opener. As a result, Joseba Zaldua should be in line to feature at right-back against his former club.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Sobrino - Out against La Real Sobrino will miss Sunday's match against Real Sociedad, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Diario de Cadiz.

Impact Sobrino has been out for all but one preseason game and still hasn't returned to fitness. While capable of starting regularly when fit after scoring four times in 33 appearances last season, it could now fall to Santiago Arzamendia to play in the opener of the new campaign.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fede San Emeterio - Joins Cadiz permanently Fede transferred to Cadiz from Real Valladolid on Saturday, committing to a four-year contract with the Andalusian club.

Impact Fede already spent 2022 on loan with his new side and will now reinforce the midfield in over the coming season. After starting in 10 of his 12 league appearances, Fede can be expected to play plenty even if his fantasy value is unlikely to be the highest.

Isaac Carcelén - Not fully fit Iza has been limited in preseason due to injury, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Portal Cadista.

Impact Iza has been set back in his preparation due to a knock or two and it could limit his ability to play in the Aug. 14 opener against Real Sociedad. He started in 17 of his 25 appearances last season but the arrival of Joseba Zaldua is likely to limit his minutes.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Alejo - Dealing with knock Alejo has been limited in preseason due to various issues, according to manager Sergio Gonzalez via Portal Cadista.

Impact Alejo needs to get up to speed by the Aug. 14 opener against Real Sociedad but judging by the manager's words, that may not be fully possible. He scored two goals and logged two assists in 20 appearances last season, so even when fit Alejo may not be much more than a rotation piece.

Alvaro Negredo - Limited in preseason Negredo has been limited in preseason due to muscular issues, according to manager Sergio Gonalez via Portal Cadista.

Impact Negredo still has until Aug. 14 against Real Sociedad to overcome any injuries, but if he's unable to get up to full speed it's less likely he'll be able to start or play for very long. Should that happen, Choco Lozano and Lucas Perez are solid options to start over Negredo at striker.

Ruben Alcaraz - Recovering earlier than expected Alcaraz was pictured on a training pitch with Cadiz this week.

Impact Alcaraz suffered a serious knee injury during a friendly with the Catalan National Team in late May that was initially expected to rule him out until mid-October. But he is recovering faster than anticipated and is now hoping to be able to play as soon as late August.

Víctor Chust - Commits to Cadiz Chust transferred to Cadiz from Real Madrid, his club announced Wednesday. He's agreed to a four-year contract with the Andalusian club.

Impact Chust arrived on loan at the start of the 2021/22 season and ended up starting in 20 of his 25 appearances. With seven clean sheets kept in that time, Chust should be seen as an important piece to the success of his club in the coming campaign. As he's still on a side that will routinely struggle to avoid relegation, his production may not be the most reliable even if his club tend to play best against the biggest sides.

David Gil - Extends contract with Cadiz Gil has signed a three-year contract extension with Cadiz, the club announced Monday.

Impact Gil made just five appearances last season with Cadiz, all of them coming in the Copa del Rey, but the 28-year-old has signed on with the club through the 2024/25 campaign as he will continue to backup Jeremias Ledesma in goal.

Impact Pombo made 23 La Liga 2 appearances with Oviedo last season, and the 28-year-old is set to return to Cadiz in the first division for the upcoming campaign. He will likely be a backup attacking midfielder if he does indeed stay with the club.
