Luis Milla - Scores from spot Milla scored one penalty goal during Thursday's 3-2 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Milla took advantage of his only chance on goal to equal the scoreline, though eventually the match was lost. He's now started in four-of-five matches this season but his work rate on both ends of the pitch hasn't amount to much in fantasy just yet with three shots and five interceptions. Up next is a trip to Celta Vigo, which have conceded 10 goals in six games.

Ruben Rochina - Logs another assist Rochina provided one assist from one chance created and conceded a yellow card during Thursday's 3-2 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Rochina has provided assists in two straight appearances and looked solid in his first start since returning to the club. If he's still in the lineup in the next match at Celta Vigo, he'll have to work hard against a team that doesn't concede many touches to opposing forwards.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

German Sanchez - Scores in loss Sanchez scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Thursday's 3-2 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Sanchez was able to give his team an early lead but it didn't amount to much as he conceded his third yellow card in six matches and lost the contest. He'll hope to perform better on both ends of the pitch against Celta Vigo, which are tied for last in La Liga in total shots on goal.

Darwin Machis - Comes off injured against Sociedad Machis was subbed out of Thursday's defeat against Real Sociedad in the 24th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact It is unclear whether Machis will be forced to miss additional game time due to his injury. Antonio Puertas or Ruben Rochina could fill in on the left wing next week against Celta Vigo if necessary.

Koeman under direct attack for no 'tiki taka' at Barcelona

There were no signs of Barcelona’s famous “tiki-taka” style of ball possession in the team’s 1-1 draw against Granada in the Spanish league on Monday

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Darwin Machis - Creates two chances in draw Machis created two chances from two crosses (one accurate) during Monday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Machis tried to be an outlet in possession but he was never likely to get much going in a mostly lopsided match. He'll next face a solid Real Sociedad side, and Machis has yet to log any properly valuable performances just yet.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Maximiano - Concedes one in draw Maximiano conceded one goal and made five saves during Monday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Maximiano had to make some impressive stops as the hosts racked up chances late in the game and was only beaten in the 90th minute. With 12 saves in two games, Maximiano is on track to be a top option at his position, but these losses and draws need to start turning into wins. Up next is a visit from Real Sociedad, which has scored six goals in their first five matches.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Escudero - Logs assist in draw Escudero provided one assist from one chance created and made two interceptions during Monday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Escudero only played one half in his first start for this club, but still made an impact by setting up Domingos Duarte's early goal. His impactful showing could be an improvement at left-back as Carlos Neva can no longer expect to play each week, and both with compete for more opportunities by Thursday's match against Real Sociedad.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Domingos Duarte - Scores against Barca Duarte scored one goal from one shot and made eight clearances during Monday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Duarte nearly shocked the Catalans with a goal in the second minute but the defense left too many holes by the end of the match. He's kept just one clean sheet all season, and facing a real Sociedad club short of its top attacking options could be a good chance to change that story.

Yan Eteki - Injured against Barcelona Eteki was subbed out of Monday's draw against Barcelona in the 30th minute after suffering a possible hamstring injury. He made two clearances in the match before being taken off.

Impact Eteki was making his first start of the season Monday after recovering from a muscular injury, but he now has to go right back to the physio room. It's unlikely he'll be ready for Thursday's match against Sociedad, meaning Angel Montoro could be set to start again.

Luis Maximiano - Concedes two goals in loss Maximiano conceded two goals and made seven saves during Monday's 2-1 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Maximiano ended his first start for Granada with a late loss but he still did well with a higher number of saves made. If he isn't able to keep many clean sheets but is still able to stop plenty of shots, Maximiano will be a nice value target even against teams like Barcelona, which are sure to keep him busy through Mempis Depay and others.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Santiago Arias - Logs four crosses in first start Arias logged four inaccurate crosses and put one shot off target during Monday's 2-1 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Arias made his first start since joining Granada and since suffering a serious ankle injury in October of 2020. Though the team didn't play perfectly, this is still a positive sign for Arias that he could be a reliable right-back with a few more games under his belt. Up next is a tough trip to Barcelona, though the Catalans may not be as threatening with injuries plaguing their attacking group.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Darwin Machis - Takes two shots in loss Machis put two shots off target and created one chance during 64 minutes of Monday's 2-1 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Machis returned to the lineup after transfer rumors to Club America in Mexico fell through but he didn't have much to offer. With Ruben Rochina taking his place and setting up the goal, Machis now has competition to contend with as well, so putting on a good show in the next match against Barcelona will be important to improving his form.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Rochina - Logs assist in loss Rochina provided one assist from one chance created and put one shot off target in 26 minutes of Monday's 2-1 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Rochina has appeared off the bench twice since joining Granada and gave his team a short reprieve by setting up Luis Javier Suarez for an equalizing goal. Should he be able to provide legitimate production as a starter, Rochina would be a big boost for a team that's missing what Darwin Machis usually does. Even if he is in the first XI, the next couple of matches won't be so easy against Barcelona and Real Sociedad.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Gets goal in loss Suarez scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) during Monday's 2-1 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Suarez has scored two goals in his last three starts, which have been Granada's only goals scored through four matches to open the season. Despite that poor record, Suarez is still becoming a worthwhile target if he's the most important member of the attack. Life won't get any easier in the next match against Barcelona, which are slowly regaining some of their key defensive starters.

Darwin Machis - Starting against Betis Machis (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Betis.

Impact Machis is back in the starting XI for Monday's match after missing the game before the break because of a hamstring injury. He hasn't started since the opener when he went 79 minutes, meaning a full 90 may not be likely against Betis.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Neva - Busy to open season Neva has logged six crosses and seven tackles across three starts to open the season.

Impact Neva is a reliable if unspectacular player but his fitness wasn't something he could count on last season. If that changes in the present campaign, he'll still remain a lower-value option if needed.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Escudero - Joins Granada Escudero signed a one-year contract with Granada, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Escudero slipped down the depth chart in Sevilla before leaving the club at the end of last season, but the 31-year-old provides plenty of experience at left back for Granada, having made 168 La Liga appearances in his career, posting eight goals and 11 assists as well.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Santiago Arias - Loaned to Granada Arias has joined Granada on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid, the club announced Monday.

Impact Arias spent last year on loan with Leverkusen but only made one Bundesliga appearance before suffering a long-term ankle injury. He will hope to have a bounce back season this time with Granada, where he should be the starter at right back as Dimitri Foulquier has just left for Valencia.
