Matias Dituro - Three saves in draw Dituro made three saves during Saturday's three-all draw with Barcelona.

Impact Dituro faced six shots from Barcelona, and made three saves. The keeper put together a solid showing, but it wasn't one that offered much fantasy relevance. Next up for Dituro is a clash with Villarreal after the international break.

Hugo Mallo - Brought off with injury Mallo was brought off at half time during Saturday's three-all draw with Barcelona.

Impact Mallo was brought off with an injury at half time, though it's not clear if he aggravated the injury to his back or not. Mallo will be one to watch as he looks to recover over the international break.

Franco Cervi - Assists off bench Cervi provided one assist on one chance created during Saturday's three-all draw with Barcelona.

Impact Cervi came off the bench for the final 25 minutes and provided an assist. The midfielder lacks any fantasy value as he rarely starts, and isn't efficient when he does start. That seems unlikely to change after the international break.

Javi Galan - Provides first assist Galan provided one assist on one chance created during Saturday's 3-3 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Galan earned his first assist on 10 crosses (three accurate) during Saturday's draw. The defender has been a solid producer on the pitch, but not one that translates well to fantasy. He will be a mediocre option after the international break.

Nolito - Finally opens account Nolito scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's three-all draw with Barcelona.

Impact Nolito finally scored his first goal of the season as he has struggled with dreadful form. The midfielder scored seven times and provided five assists in 20/21, and has seemingly been nowhere near that level in 21/22. Nolito will hope to find form after the international break.

Iago Aspas - Nets brace in draw Aspas scored twice on four shots (two on goal), as well as creating six chances during Saturday's 3-3 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Aspas has struggled for form lately, but not Saturday, as he finally looked to be properly linked up in the starting XI. He was running everything through his feet, and kept the game pushed forward. Aspas will be a top option if he keeps this form going after the break.

Santi Mina - Returns to preliminary squad Mina (hamstring) is in the preliminary squad for Saturday's clash with Barcelona.

Impact Mina is in the preliminary squad for Saturday's match, and should be available. It's unlikely for Mina to start, but a run out in the second half to test his fitness seems likely.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Mallo - Available Saturday Mallo (back) is available for Saturday's clash with Barcelona.

Impact Mallo is available Saturday and is in the traveling squad. The defender will likely return straight to the starting XI if he is healthy. If not Kevin will likely replace him in the starting XI.

Matias Dituro - Preserves clean sheat Dituro made five saves to earn a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Dituro is in peak form right now with four clean sheets in his last seven contests while allowing just four goals and making 19 saves, including once from the penalty spot. The keeper may be hard-pressed to maintain his form heading into a clash with Barcelona on Saturday.

Augusto Solari - Launches four crosses Solari came onto the pitch in the 23rd minute against Rayo Vallecano on Monday and registered four crosses (one accurate), two tackles (two won) and one chance created. In addition...

Impact Solari has made just one start in nine appearances this season but will likely slot into the starting XI versus Barcelona on Saturday with Brais Mendez (suspension) unavailable and Santi Mina (hamstring) in doubt. If he does start, Solari should be capable of producing decent mid-range fantasy value.

Denis Suarez - Racks up 11 crosses Suarez recorded 11 crosses (two accurate), seven corners and two chances created versus Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Suarez leads the team with 56 crosses this season, including 21 in his previous two contests, in addition to taking 64 percent of the club's corners. The midfielder should continue to be the primary driver of the Celta Vigo offense, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Brais Mendez - Handed fifth yellow Monday Mendez was booked in Monday's matchup with Rayo Vallecano, his fifth of the season, and will be banned against Barcelona on Saturday.

Impact Mendez has featured in the starting XI in 11 of the club's 12 matches this season but will now be unavailable Saturday. In those previous appearances, the midfielder registered one goal on 19 shots (five on target), two assists and 17 crosses (three accurate). Augusto Solari should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI versus Barcelona with Mendez ineligible.

Santi Mina - Comes off with hamstring injury Mina (hamstring) was brought off the pitch with a hamstring injury last time out.

Impact Mina dealing with a hamstring injury could be worst case scenario for Celta Vigo, who have struggled for attacking acumen all season. The forward will undergo tests in the coming days to determine how serious the injury was.

Hugo Mallo - Out with back problem Mallo will miss Monday's clash with Rayo Vallecano due to a back injury.

Impact Mallo has started all 10 of his appearances for the club this season in which he recorded 43 crosses (six accurate), five shots (one on target) and 11 chances created. With the left-back out of action, Kevin will replace him in the starting XI, making his first appearance since Aug. 23 versus Osasuna.

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Fontán - On bench Monday Fontan (knee) will be available off the bench versus Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Fontan will be back in the squad following a two-game stint on the sidelines due to his knee problem. The defender was an unused substitute in his previous four matches and will likely continue to be a fringe roster option moving forward, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Thiago Galhardo - Assists off bench Galhardo played 12 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Galhardo remains mostly limited but still recorded a good week after entering in both matches and finally grabbing his first assist and major contribution of the season Monday. Until he can earn a regular role in the first XI though his upside should remain very limited.

Denis Suarez - Creates four chances in loss Suarez hauled in three shots (two on target), four chances created, 10 crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Suarez has been in a terrific form of late racking up five shots, six chances created and 18 crosses in the three starts since retuning to the first XI. He remains with just one goal and no assists but has been productive in formats with peripheral stats and set pieces also boost his numbers.
