Ander Herrera - Places one shot in loss to AtleticoHerrera recorded one shot (not on goal) and one cross (not accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

ImpactHerrera came on after 66 minutes Saturday for Yeray Alvarez. The attacking midfielder was introduced to try and bring some fresh energy to Athletic as they sought to come back from behind to get something from the game. He worked hard but only managed to contribute one shot, three accurate long crosses in offensive actions, and two tackles in support of defense. The Spanish veteran is usually deployed from the bench and has not produced an assist since January.

ImpactGriezmann was not at his best Saturday. He never managed to place any shots on goal and was not instrumental in creating any of Madrid's three goals, in fact he lost the ball that created the build up to Nico Williams goal for Athletic. The Frenchman is usually a key contributor to his team's performance, he has scored two and produced an assist from Madrid's last four games.

Jan Oblak - Concedes one in win over AthleticOblak recorded no saves and conceded one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Athletic.

ImpactOblak did not have much to do Saturday, he had just 28 touches but managed to concede the only shot he faced on goal. Despite Atletico's current position of fourth in the league table, he has not kept a clean sheet in their last 13 matches. The Slovenian international has a good chance to improve upon that in Atletico's next against Mallorca. They have only found the net three times in their last six La Liga matches.

He has bagged four goals and produced two assists from Athletic's last six La Liga matches.
