Gonzalo Villar - Delivers assist in huge loss Villar assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 5-3 loss against Real Sociedad.

Impact Villar slotted a perfect lobbed pass that allowed Bryan Zaragoza to find the back of the net late in stoppage time. Villar mostly plays as a holding midfielder, however, so his fantasy impact is not expected to be very high.

Antonio Puertas - Credited with assist in loss Antonio Puertas assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 5-3 loss versus Real Sociedad.

Impact Puertas should be considered fortunate to have been credited with an assist, as he was charging to the box but Lucas Boye got in his way and stole him the ball before scoring. Puertas has struggled to make an impact and shouldn't be very valuable in most fantasy formats.

Raúl Fernandez - Woeful outing Saturday Fernandez registered two saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-3 loss against Real Sociedad.

Impact Fernandez couldn't have wished for a worse outing, especially given how the goals happened -- two were one-on-one situations, two were edge-of-the-box shots, and the other one was an own goal. Fernandez will look to bounce back when Granada takes on Girona after the international break, but he's not going to have a lot of upside unless the defense improves significantly.

Adria Miquel Bosch - Credited with own goal Miki Bosch registered an own goal, one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact As if conceding four goals was not enough, Bosch scored in his own net to give Sociedad their fifth of the contest. As a defender who was playing for the first time in the current 2023-24 campaign, Bosch is not expected to alter many fantasy lineups going forward.

Jesus Vallejo - Set for extended period on sideline Vallejo (leg) will miss multiple weeks with a fibular rapture in his left hamstring.

Impact Vallejo will likely miss a good chunk of this season due to a fibular rapture. It is a tough blow for the defender as they are only three games into the season, but he will now have to watch from the sidelines as he heals over the next 1-3 months. Fellow defender Ricard will most likely slide into Vallejo's starting spot while he is out injured.
