Ezequiel Ponce - Transfers to Elche permanently Ponce has signed a four-year contract with Elche after transferring from Spartak Moscow on a permanent basis, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Ponce scored a goal in 13 La Liga appearances (five starts) since joining Elche on-loan in January, and the 25-year-old will now be fully joining the club from Spartak Moscow in the summer. He's behind Lucas Boye and Guido Carrillo in the forward depth chart at the moment, but he will want to challenge the pair for a starting spot next season.

Kiko Casilla - One save in win Casilla made one save and one clearance during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Casilla made a single save during Sunday's 3-1 win. The keeper has mostly fallen out of favor with Edgar Badia taking the starting duty in most matches. That said the veteran still has something to offer the team and ended the season conceding two goals in the final two matches. Casilla will likely be back on the bench to start the 2022/23 campaign.

Tete Morente - Nine crosses Sunday Morente sent in nine crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Morente ended the season with his 18th starts, though just his fourth since February. The midfielder didn't seem to have missed a beat, sending in nine crosses, all from open play during the win. Morente is a solid fantasy play when starting, but more often than not finds himself on the bench, cutting his fantasy value considerably. Morente ended the campaign with three goals and three assists, though he ended the season without assisting for over four months.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gerard Gumbau - Eight crosses in win Gumbau sent in eight crosses (two accurate), creating three chances during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Gumbau peppered the box with crosses, building off of six corners during the win. The midfielder finishes the season with 31 appearances and 20 starts, returning four assists. Gumbau also added 93 crosses and 28 chances created, giving him some fringe fantasy upside. If he holds this duty on set-pieces Gumbau could be a solid fantasy play in 2022/23.

Josan - Assists Sunday Josan provided one assist on one chance created off the bench during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Josan came off the bench during Sunday's 3-1 win. The wing-back was brought on the pitch for the final 13 minutes, where he created a single chance that was converted. Josan has been a bench option for the most part in 2021/22, with 31 appearances and 10 starts. In that context his two goals and three assists are workable, though the limited minutes make him a hard to trust fantasy play.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fidel - Assists off bench Fidel provided one assist off the bench during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Fidel earned his sixth assist of the campaign in the final match of the season. The midfielder had an excellent campaign with five goals and six assists, both personal bests for Elche. Fidel will lead the midfield from the left flank once more in 2022/23, where he will be a strong fantasy option in all formats.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kike Perez - Brace in finale Perez scored twice off the bench during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Perez came off the bench for the final 21 minutes of Sunday's win, and scored twice. The midfielder has only played 12 matches since joining Elche in the January transfer window. Perez will hope to continue this strong end of season form heading into 2022/23.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Olaza - Scores in finale Olaza scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Olaza scored his first goal of the season in the final match of the campaign, and his fifth start. The wing-back did well to get forward and find the back of the net, and has been a solid option in the starting XI. Olaza is a worthwhile fantasy play when in the starting XI, but unless he can fully break into the first team he will be best avoided for fantasy purposes in 2022/23.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Verdu - Out against Getafe Verdu (groin) is not in Elche's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Getafe.

Impact Verdu finishes his sophomore La Liga campaign with four clean sheets in 19 appearances (16 starts) in the competition, a big decline in usage from last season. The 33-year-old is no longer an automatic choice in a deep center back depth chart at Elche.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Marcone - Suspended against Getafe Marcone will miss Sunday's clash against Getafe with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Marcone picked up his fifth booking of the season in last weekend's defeat to Celta Vigo, meaning he will be suspended for Sunday's match. The 31-year-old finishes this season with 20 La Liga appearances (10 starts) in midfield.

Josan - Sends in nine crosses in loss Josan created two chances, sent in nine crosses (three accurate), made two tackles (one won) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo.

Impact Josan was completely out of position when Iago Aspas appeared unmarked on his flank to make the assist for Denis Suarez's goal but other than that had a nice performance, especially on the offensive end, where his crosses made opposing defenders work hard at times. The right back is having his role on the team being expanded as of late, with four starts over the last six contests. He'll probably remain in the lineup for next Sunday's season finale against Getafe.

Lucas Olaza - Fills stat sheet in loss Olaza had two off-target shots, created two chances, sent in seven crosses (one accurate) and made one tackle (won), two clearances, two interceptions and one block during Sunday's...

Impact Olaza made just his second start since joining on loan in January and made most of the opportunity, racking up numbers on both ends and being particularly dangerous on attack. With his loan contract expiring next month, Olaza will probably be very motivated to prove he belongs to the big leagues during next Sunday's season finale versus Getafe

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Guido Carrillo - Takes three shots in loss Carrillo had three off-target shots during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo.

Impact Carrillo received another opportunity in the starting XI and, despite not being able to find the back of the net, the forward was at least very active up front and paced his side in shots attempted. With just two goals over 28 league appearances (10 starts) this season, Carrillo will try to finish his campaign in a higher note during next Sunday's home clash against Getafe.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kiko Casilla - Makes three saves in loss Casilla made three saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo,

Impact Casilla was back in the net for the first time since October and, despite being beaten with just nine minutes into the game, had a very good performance. If it wasn't for his difficult saves during the second half, the opposition could've scored much more than once. The veteran goalkeeper will hope this performance helps him to remain in the lineup for next Sunday's season finale against Getafe.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Boye - Ineffective return Boye (groin) played 58 minutes during a 2-0 loss Wednesday versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Boye's most recent La Liga appearance was his first since he suffered a groin injury on April 3. Elche failed to log an accurate shot Wednesday. But fortunately for Boye, he remains Elche's best forward in spite of the team abandoning its previous 4-4-2 formation system.

MAY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Edgar Badía - Concedes two goals Badia conceded two goals during a 2-0 loss Wednesday versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Badia conceded a goal to backups Rodrigo De Paul and Matheus Cunha. He will try redeeming himself during Elche's next game, currently scheduled Saturday against Celta Vigo.

MAY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Boye - Starting Wednesday Boye (groin) will feature in the starting XI against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Impact Boye will be back on the pitch for the first time since April 3 against Athletic, a stretch of five games on the sidelines. In his last five appearances, the forward recorded nine shots (two on target), three crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Josan - Six tackles against Cadiz Josan made six tackles in a 3-0 defeat to Cadiz on Saturday.

Impact Josan had a decent outing for the visitors. The 32-year-old completed six tackles in eight attempts - most by any player in the match. Other than that, Josan also made a couple of interceptions.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Guido Carrillo - Six aerial duels against Cadiz Carrillo won six aerial duels in a 3-0 defeat to Cadiz on Saturday.

Impact Carrillo had a decent outing for the losing team. The 30-year-old made six clearances. Other than that, Carrillo also won six aerial duels.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Edgar Badía - Four saves against Cadiz Badia made four saves and conceded three goals in a 3-0 defeat to Cadiz on Saturday.

Impact Badia had a disappointing day for the losing team. The 30-year-old made four saves but conceded three goals as well. It was the third occasion in the last six outings where Badia conceded two or more goals.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Ponce - Sent off against Cadiz Ponce received a straight red card in the 66th minute of Saturday's defeat against Cadiz for a foul on Luis Hernandez.

Impact Ponce lasted all of three minutes before earning a red card with an elbow to the face. He will be suspended for Wednesday's clash against Atletico Madrid.
