Isaac Carcelén - Busy vs. Espanyol Iza created one chance and made two clearances during Monday's 2-0 loss to Espanyol.

Impact Iza was busy on both sides of the ball, but lacked the defensive volume he needs for fantasy value. The defender has been in the starting XI six times this season, and appears to have a regularly stable spot at right-back. He has a favorable match with Alaves coming up Saturday.

Jose Mari - Out again Monday Mari (strain) will not be available against Espanyol on Monday.

Impact Mari has begun training with the first team but will have to wait at least another Game Week before getting the opportunity to make his 2021-22 season debut.

Alarcon is also flirting with suspension after he got his fourth yellow card of the season --If he receives one more, he will be suspended for one match--. No matter what, he is one of the main pieces for Cadiz and he is worth a chance when they play.

Isaac Carcelén - Solid performance in return Iza sent one cross (none accurate), made five tackles (four won) and intercepted four times in the 0-0 draw with Valencia on Saturday.

Impact Iza returned to the starting XI after he sat out last week with an undisclosed injury. The defender surely did not disappoint either. He put together the best defensive performance from Cadiz and he also won the Man of the Match because of it.

Over his last five appearances, he is averaging, 0.6 shots, 0.6 created chances, 2.4 crosses, 4.2 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per 90 minutes in all competitions. Those numbers are hard to beat and he currently stands as one of the better defenders in the league from a fantasy aspect.
