Impact Alena was one of the few Getafe players that brought some danger on the offensive end, creating a lot for his teammates and pacing his side in shots attempted, but the midfielder wasn't accurate enough to break the deadlock and score for the first time this season. Despite still being scoreless, Alena has seen his production trending up over his last two appearances and will try to keep this momentum going during Oct. 25 home match against Celta Vigo.

Damian Suarez - Impresses on both ends in draw Suarez created three chances, sent in nine crosses (three accurate), made 10 tackles (six won) and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Le...

Impact Suarez was one of the best players on the pitch here as he excelled on both ends, creating a lot for his teammates and being flawless defensively, which included a season-high 10 tackles. The right back possesses a huge two-way potential and that makes him a nice fantasy pickup regardless of the opponent. Up next for him is Oct. 25 home match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Soria has yet to record a win or a clean sheet this season, which is seldom the case for his club even in a bad year. With the international break to think about any solutions, Soria will next face Levante, which are tied for the third-fewest shots on goal in La Liga.

Mathias Olivera - Busy in draw Olivera created one chance, won four-of-five tackles and made five interceptions during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad.

Impact Olivera has done well over his last two matches with three shots taken, four chances created and eight tackles made. While this is solid personally, he's still a member of one of worst defenses in La Liga, which is tied for the most goals conceded with 13 in eight games. He'll at least get the chance to improve on that end against Levante, which have scored just six goals in eight matches.

Damian Suarez - Active in draw Suarez created one chance from four crosses (one accurate) and won one-of-four tackles during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad.

Impact Suarez didn't come as close to some of his best numbers of the season, but he's gone two straight appearances without conceding a foul or booking and that's the best thing he can do for his production right now. Up next is a trip to Levante, which are tied for the third-most crosses conceded to defenders in La Liga.

Impact Alena was one of the better all-around players for either team as he also won three tackles, but has already picked up four yellow cards and one red card this season. As one of the main creative influences for his team, curbing his disciplinary issues would certainly boost his value. Up next should be a better matchup against Levante, which are tied for the most goals conceded in La Liga.

Sandro Ramirez - Scores in draw Ramirez scored one goal from five shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad.

Impact Ramirez has scored in two of his four starts this season, which is a solid tally when he's only recorded four total attempts on target. This doesn't necessarily make him the ideal selection, as he's still prone to go entire appearances without a sniff at goal and he's yet to complete the full 90. After the international break, he'll travel to Levante, which have conceded 13 goals in eight games.

Impact Olivera was used in a more advanced position, being freed to support the attack from the left flank. And the changed role impacted immensely on his stat line, as he had season highs in both chances created and crosses. Regardless of where the coach needs him to play, Olivera is always a nice fantasy contributor and he'll try to remain productive during next Sunday's home match against Real Sociedad.

Sandro Ramirez - Three shots off bench in loss Ramirez had three shots (two on target), sent in three inaccurate crosses and was shown a yellow card after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Betis.

Impact Ramirez was back after a two-game absence, being brought at halftime to replace Jose Juan Macias. And the striker was better than any teammate on the offensive end, racking up a team-high three shots attempted.

David Soria - Concedes two in loss Soria made three saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Betis.
