Quini - Logs seven crosses in loss Quini provided seven crosses (one accurate) and made four interceptions during Thursday's 4-2 loss to Getafe.

Impact Quini set a new season high in both crosses and interceptions for a single match but it was the defensive side as a team that needed more work. As he was able to complete the full 90 for the first time in three matches, he will hope for another start in Sunday's match against Osasuna.

Domingos Duarte - Comes on in second half Duarte conceded a yellow card while playing in the second half of Thursday's 4-2 loss to Getafe.

Impact Duarte has been slowly working his way back from a thigh injury and is showing signs of improvement in his fitness after playing the back half of the match. With the defense struggling for cohesion all night, Duarte will hope to return to the lineup at the expense of Raul Torrente for Sunday's match against Osasuna.

Jorge Molina - Provides assist in loss Molina provided one assist from two chances created during Thursday's 4-2 loss to Getafe.

Impact Molina hasn't scored in any of his last three starts but still set up one goal against his former club. Before the schedule gets tougher, Molina can next face Osasuna, which have conceded 27 goals in 21 matches.

Luis Suarez - Scores twice in loss Suarez scored two times in three shots (two on goal) during Thursday's 4-2 loss to Getafe.

Impact Suarez was able to score for the first time in eight games but a lackluster defensive performance ended a streak of seven games without defeat. Despite the issues elsewhere, seeing that Suarez remains in good spirits and he received help on one goal from Jorge Molina, there's still plenty of benefit to gain from this side. Up next is a match against Osasuna, which have conceded 27 goals in 21 matches.

Luis Maximiano - Concedes one in draw Maximiano conceded one goal and made no saves during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Maximiano has conceded no more than one goal in six straight matches and remains undefeated in his last seven starts. This game also marked the first time this season he couldn't make a save, though that mark isn't likely to last much longer given the amount of pressure his team likes to absorb before counter attacking. Up next for Maximiano is a trip to Getafe, which have scored the fewest goals in La Liga through their first 19 games.

Alex Collado - Debuts against parent club Collado logged 22 minutes off the bench and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Collado joined Granada on loan from Barcelona and helped take down his parent club with a solid first effort as a substitute. His presence could be problematic for Darwin Machis, who hasn't been as consistent as Antonio Puertas on the other wing and could lose minutes to Collado if he can't improve soon. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which hold one of the better defensive records in La Liga.

Darwin Machis - Takes two shots in draw Machis took two shots (one on goal) in 68 minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Machis was pulled late despite his team sitting a goal down, though they were eventually able to pull level without him. With just one full 90 in his last four starts, Machis is proving hard to rely on with consistency, though he's certainly one of the more dangerous left wingers around. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which are tied for the fourth-fewest goals conceded in La Liga.

Antonio Puertas - Bags winner against Barca Puertas scored one goal from four shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Puertas escaped the defense on a late corner and smashed his shot into the net as his side secured a seventh consecutive match without defeat. During that time, Puertas has scored three goals and provided one assist, which has been important as Luis Javier Suarez hasn't been as productive in the scoring department. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which feature one of the better defenses in the league.

Jorge Molina - Takes one shot in draw Molina put one shot off target and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Molina came up big with the shot that preceded the game-winning goal from a corner but he remains scoreless in his last two starts. It was likely optimistic to expect Molina to keep up his run after scoring six times in four games but he hasn't looked far away from the net as well. Up next is a trip to Getafe, against which Molina scored back in October.

Luis Suarez - Creates two chances in draw Suarez created two chances from three crosses (zero accurate) and put two shots off target during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Suarez hasn't found the net in seven straight matches but he was still plenty threatening in the attack to keep his side in Saturday's solid draw. With three assists from seven chances in his last four starts, Suarez serves as a creative forward while Jorge Molina has found more direct chances on goal. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which are tied for the fourth-fewest goals conceded in La Liga.

Angel Montoro - Back in squad Montoro (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Montoro is back from injury after the break, having missed the last three league matches with a calf issue. He's started nine matches this season and figures to return to the XI in the coming weeks, having produced one goal and one assist in 15 appearances.

Luis Maximiano - Keeps clean sheet against Elche Maximiano kept a clean sheet with two saves made in Sunday's scoreless draw with Elche.

Impact Maximiano was fortunate that Guido Carrillo's first half goal was ruled out as a foul as he secured his first clean sheet in the last eight matches. During his side's current six-match unbeaten streak, Maximiano has conceded more than one goal on just one occasion and recorded 15 total saves. With not every match proving a simple task, Maximiano is a key piece to his team's success and he'll have to remain as such in the next match against Barcelona.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Darwin Machis - Takes one shot in draw Machis put one shot off target and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's scoreless draw with Elche.

Impact Machis didn't have much to offer after scoring a beautiful goal in the previous match against Atletico Madrid. While this could have something to do with coming back from the holiday break, the performances across the team weren't much to show for in the attack. As a result, he'll have plenty of time to increase his motivation for Saturday's visit from Barcelona.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Torrente - Keeps clean sheet on road Torrente kept a clean sheet with five clearances made during Sunday's scoreless draw with Elche.

Impact Torrente has received some high praise for his recent performances and has started all six matches during his side's current unbeaten run. With his next match coming against the inconsistent Barcelona, Torrente could be in line for another showcase performance.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Molina - Logs one shot in draw Molina took one shot (one on goal) and created one chance during Sunday's scoreless draw with Elche.

Impact After scoring five goals in three games, Molina was held to nothing in Sunday's match. For the moment, this shouldn't be much to worry about, as four of Molina's goals have come at home and he'll next face Barcelona, against which he scored the winning goal last season on the road.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Takes four shots in draw Suarez took four shots (two on goal) during Sunday's scoreless draw with Elche.

Impact Suarez had recorded three assists over his previous two matches but was unable to find the scoreboard despite another good effort. With spirits still high during a six-match unbeaten run, Suarez next faces a visit from Barcelona, which have conceded 22 goals in 19 games this season.

Luis Maximiano - Concedes one in win Maximiano conceded one goal and made two saves during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Maximiano was a big piece to a famous win as despite an early strike from Joao Felix, he held his nerve and sunk the visitors to a fourth straight loss. With Felix having a goal called back before halftime, Maximiano is a little fortunate to still have the win on his record, but a third win in his last four starts is sure to be more important. He'll now travel to Elche, which have scored the fourth-fewest goals in La Liga.

Luis Suarez - Logs assist in win Suarez provided one assist from one chance created and took two shots (one on goal) during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Suarez battled with Luis Suarez for the first time and it was this one that ended up on the right side as he set up Jorge Molina's game-winning goal. With three assists in his last two matches and seven shots taken, Suarez has been passed up by Molina as the side's top scorer but has found himself a good role as the forward on the ball. It will be interesting to see if his form holds up at Elche, which are tied for the fourth-most goals conceded in La Liga.

Luis Milla - Makes four tackles in win Milla made four tackles (one won) and logged four inaccurate interceptions during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Milla has logged eight tackles and 12 crosses over his last two matches. This run has given him some base value even without logging an assist, as he's also taken six set pieces in this time. Up next is a trip to Elche, which have conceded the sixth-most crosses to midfielders in La Liga.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Molina - Scores, assists in win Molina scored one goal on two shots (one on goal) and provided one assist from one chance created during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Molina is something of a winter renaissance man as he's now scored six goals and provided two assists in the last five matches. To continue this run, even against an Atleti in poor form, shows that Molina's efforts are no joke at the moment as he's carried his team to a run of two draws and three wins in the last five matches. He'll now travel to Elche, which are tied for the fourth-most goals conceded in La Liga.
