Creates three chances in UCL win Alaba created three chances and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 2-0 UCL win over RB Leipzig.

Impact Alaba had a lot of room to go up the field and get involved in the build-up of plays, creating a season-high three scoring chances. The left-back isn't exactly a regular source of defensive numbers, especially playing for a side that is used to dominate, so his offensive production is what will determine his fantasy value during this campaign.
