Santi Mina - Starting Sunday Mina is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Elche.

OCTOBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nestor Araujo - Good to go Sunday Araujo (ankle) is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Elche.

Santi Mina - Sprains ankle vs. Granada Mina picked up a sprained ankle during Monday's 1-0 win over Granada.
Impact Mina didn't come off the pitch and seemed to be moving well, even setting up the winning goal late in second half stoppage time. The club announced his ankle sprain though, an injury that could set him back for weeks depending on the severity. Nolito or Denis Suarez would be likely to move up the pitch if Mina isn't good to go for Sunday's trip to Elche.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nestor Araujo - Picks up ankle sprain Araujo picked up an ankle sprain during Monday's clash with Granada and is being evaluated to see how long he will be out.
Impact Araujo could be out for multiple weeks, or be fit enough for Sunday's trip to Elche, it's impossible to know until the club completes all testing. Okay subbed on for Araujo, but there's no guarantee that he would be the long-term solution if Araujo has to sit out.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Matias Dituro - Keeps another clean sheet Dituro kept a clean sheet with four saves made during Monday's 1-0 win over Granada.
Impact Dituro is starting to find his rhythm after conceding eight goals in three games on either side of the international window. He'll hope to put in one more strong effort against Elche, which have scored just four goals in seven matches.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Javi Galan - Active in win Galan created one chance from five crosses (one accurate) and took two shots (one on goal) during Monday's 1-0 win over Granada.
Impact Galan likely won't yield as many crosses as he did last season with 156 in 37 appearances, but he's going to be more consistent defensively as he's kept clean sheets in consecutive matches. That could be a streak to hold up in the next match at Elche, which have scored just four times all season.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Santi Mina - Logs assist in win Mina provided one assist from one chance created during Monday's 1-0 win over Granada.
Impact Mina is the top attacker for La Celeste right now with two goals and three assists in his last four starts. He should remain a competitive target against Elche, which have conceded eight goals in seven matches.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Denis Suarez - Scores late winner Suarez scored one goal from one shot and created two chances during Monday's 1-0 win over Granada.
Impact Suarez has only played in the second half over the last two matches but he's done well with one goal and eight crosses in that time. Still, he'll need to get back into the starting lineup to be worth trusting with any reliability. Up next is a trip to Elche, which should cede plenty of possession to Suarez and his teammates.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Iago Aspas - Misses penalty in win Aspas took two shots (one on goal, one missed penalty) and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 1-0 win over Granada.
Impact Aspas has put one shot on goal in each of the last three matches but has also conceded yellow cards in consecutive starts. While he's starting to show the type of play that will yield more goals personally, he also needs to limit his fouling to improve his value. Up next is a trip to Elche, which have conceded eight goals in their first seven matches.

Hugo Mallo - Logs four crosses, four clearances Mallo recorded four crosses and four clearances during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact Mallo averaged four crosses and 2.4 clearances across his last five league appearances. He will try to record similarly adequate tallies Monday versus Granada.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Denis Suarez - Attempts four corner kicks Suarez attempted four corner kicks during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact Suarez has been Celta Vigo's primary corner-kick taker since 2019. Concerning that statistical category, the midfielder averaged three attempts across his last 15 appearances. Suarez will consistently supply fantasy value using corner kicks in place of rarer assists.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jeison Murillo - Helps maintain clean sheet Murillo recorded four clearances and three interceptions during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact Murillo helped maintain Celta Vigo's second 2021-22 La Liga clean sheet, his first since returning to the team. He and Nestor Araujo remain its primary central defenders. They have been those since 2019, so their experience could be useful to fantasy owners who value it.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Matias Dituro - Records penalty save, clean sheet Dituro saved one penalty kick and maintained the clean sheet during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact An Iago Aspas handball gave Levante a 71st-minute penalty kick. Fortunately for Celta Vigo, Dituro saved it (attempted by Roger Marti) and one other Dani Gomez shot to maintain the clean sheet. The goalkeeper has two of them across six league appearances since July.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Iago Aspas - Finally scores goal again Aspas scored one goal during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact Aspas possesses two 2021-22 La Liga goals. Despite recording that tally across six league appearances, he will receive many chances to improve his goal rate. Celta Vigo's next game is Monday versus Granada. The latter La Liga team remains one of two that conceded more than 10 post-July goals, an unimpressive tally favorable to a goalscorer like Aspas.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Brais Mendez - Scores first goal Mendez scored one goal during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact Mendez recorded his first goal of the 2021-22 La Liga. Despite going scoreless across five previous league appearances, he remained Celta Vigo's most valuable central midfielder. Mendez will try to continue being it among at least six different player options.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Santi Mina - Records two assists Mina recorded two assists during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.
Impact Mina recorded his first two assists of the 2021-22 La Liga. Surprisingly, he has been more versatile (concerning goal contributions) since sitting out Celta Vigo's April 18 league game. Mina recorded six goals and four assists across his last 13 La Liga appearances.
