Lucas Boye - Takes five shots in loss Boye had five shots (two on target), drew three fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Betis.

Impact Boye was coming from scoring twice on the previous match and had a lot of chances here, racking up a game-high five shots attempted. But this time the striker wasn't as accurate and even missed a one-on-one situation against the opposing goalkeeper when his side was still fighting to get back in contention. Boye will try to bounce back during Nov. 29 visit to Osasuna.

Johan Mojica - Sends in 10 crosses in loss Mojica created four chances and sent in 10 crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Betis.

Impact Mojica was deployed in a more advanced role and that helped him to thrive once again on the offensive end as he reached double-digit crosses for the second time over the last three matches. Despite not appearing on the scoresheet so frequently, Mojica is always able to be a menace from the left flank and should be considered a lock to start Nov. 29 visit to Osasuna.

Lucas Perez - Active display in loss Perez created five chances and sent in six crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Betis.

Impact Perez had a great stat line despite of the loss, creating a season-high five chances and sending in cross after cross after cross as his side made a late push to cut the deficit. Despite usually being very active on the offensive end, Perez doesn't score since he found the back of the net in consecutive matches in September. Up next for the forward is Nov. 29 visit to Osasuna.

Edgar Badía - Concedes three in loss Badia made one save and conceded three goals during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Betis.

Impact Badia wasn't exactly at fault for any of the three goals scored by the opposition, but made only one save, so his performance can be considered lackluster for fantasy purposes. With five saves and five goals conceded over two starts, the goalkeeper isn't a exactly a lock as the starting GK for Nov. 29 visit to Osasuna.

Impact Boye was solid in attack against Real Madrid on Saturday, but he couldn't inspire his side to a result against the current La Liga leaders. He should have an easier time next weekend against Mallorca, which have conceded 16 goals in 11 matches this season.

Dario Benedetto - Records assist in loss Benedetto took a shot and assisted a goal in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid.

Impact Benedetto was a late substitute on Saturday but he provided a nice pass for Pere Milla's consolation goal against Real Madrid, his first assist of the season. The veteran has been in and out of Elche's starting lineup in spurts this year, but he has two goals and an assist in his last five La Liga appearances, and he should continue to get minutes off the bench at the very least.

Impact Milla subbed into Saturday's match with just under 10 minutes left, but he managed a consolation goal for his side. It was his first La Liga score of the season, but he hasn't featured in the starting lineup since August.

Impact Casilla has conceded five goals over his last three starts, which have ended with one draw and two losses. With a visit from the league's top scorer in Karim Benzema and Real Madrid coming next, Casilla won't have much chance to rest before facing a tougher opponent.

Helibelton Palacios - Decent in loss Palacios logged five crosses (one accurate) and won three-of-three tackles during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Palacios tied his season high for crosses and was one off matching his best effort in tackles made during a tight contest. While consistency hasn't been his specialty, there's certainly room to fit Palacios in if he's up against the right opponent. Up next is a visit from Real Madrid, which rank in the middle of the league in crosses conceded to defenders.

Lucas Perez - Busy in loss Perez created one chance from eight crosses (two accurate) during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Perez found himself in familiar surroundings against his old club and put up his best creative numbers of the season so far. While he hasn't scored or put a shot on target in his last six appearances, his base value could remain decent enough if he can maintain his pace in crosses and taking corners. Up next is a visit from Real Madrid.

Dario Benedetto - Quiet off bench Benedetto failed to take a shot in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Benedetto had scored in two of his previous three appearances before this game and came close if it weren't for a goal chalked off by VAR. He's still in solid enough form to be considered an underdog target against Real Madrid, which rank among the stronger defenses in the league.

Lucas Boye - Takes three shots in loss Boye took three shots (one on goal) during 74 minutes of Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Boye had scored in his previous two starts but couldn't find the scoresheet against a defensively solid opponent in good form. It won't be any easier if he remains in the lineup against Real Madrid, which are tied for the sixth-fewest shots on goal conceded to forwards in La Liga.

Diego Gonzalez - Available off bench Gonzalez (groin) will be a substitute option against Deportivo Alavez on Tuesday.

Impact Gonzalez has played just five minutes in the team's last three contests, in part due to his groin problem. Even if the central defender does start, he won't offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Gonzalez - Available against Alaves Gonzalez (groin) is in the traveling squad for Tuesday's clash with Alaves.

Impact Gonzalez should be an option Tuesday, though he isn't likely to slot straight into the starting XI. The defender provides needed depth for Elche as they head into a packed part of the schedule.

Kiko Casilla - Struggles in loss Casilla made two saves during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Rayo.

Impact Casilla made a pair of saves on four shots faced, but wasn't enough to keep his side in the match. The keeper has been solid overall this season, and could find his way into DFS lineups Saturday, against Espanyol.

OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Omar Mascarell - Defensive volume in loss Mascarell made three interceptions and two clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Rayo.

Impact Mascarell failed to get much done, but did add some defensive volume Sunday. The midfielder has yet to get on the scoresheet this season and has a truly non-existent floor. He will hope to bounce back Saturday against Espanyol.
