Aspas will hope to bounce back after the international break.

Impact Aspas has put one shot on goal in each of the last three matches but has also conceded yellow cards in consecutive starts. While he's starting to show the type of play that will yield more goals personally, he also needs to limit his fouling to improve his value. Up next is a trip to Elche, which have conceded eight goals in their first seven matches.

Finally scores goal again Aspas scored one goal during a 2-0 win Tuesday against Levante.

Shut down in draw Aspas failed to put a shot on goal during Monday's scoreless draw with Osasuna.

Impact Aspas was absolutely shut down by a stout Osasuna defense, failing to even threaten the net. The forward is unlikely to be shut down so well, and is an elite attacking option in most formats. Next up for Aspas is a Saturday clash with Bilbao.

While unfortunately this season wasn't good enough to land Aspas a place in the national team for the Euros, he'll look forward to another bright season as long as strike partner Santi Mina sticks around.
