Diego Lopez - Concedes two in lossLopez made one save and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Atletico Madrid.

ImpactLopez was beaten twice by Yannick Carrasco during the second half, the last one coming off the penalty spot, but wasn't at fault for either goal. However, the lack of saves during the rest of the match seriously hurt his fantasy output here. The veteran goalkeeper will try to bounce back during Thursday's home clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Sergi Darder - Takes three shots in lossDarder had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made two tackles (both won) during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Atletico Madrid.

ImpactDarder was one of Espanyol's top performers on the attacking end, always finding his way to threaten the opposition with his playmaking and also finishing a couple of plays himself. The midfielder was coming from assisting on three of the previous four games and will try to remain productive during Thursday's home clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Raul De Tomas - Scores, commits PK in lossDe Tomas scored a goal off four shots (two on target), created one chance, drew five fouls and committed a penalty during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Atletico Madrid.

ImpactDe Tomas had another very productive offensive performance for Espanyol, scoring his side's lone goal with a free-kick shot in the 74th minute and being involved in many other dangerous plays. But the forward flipped from hero to villain deep into second half's stoppage time as he accidentally handballed inside his box and committed the penalty that led to the game-winning goal for the opposition. With 15 goals over 29 league appearances this season, RDT will try to bounce back during Thursday's home clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Felipe - Solid performance in winFelipe made two tackles (both won), three clearances and one block and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

ImpactFelipe bounced back after being sent off during the game that sealed Atleti's elimination from UCL, providing once again a solid presence at the heart of the defense despite not having spectacular numbers on the stat sheet. The bad news for the centre back is that the yellow card he received here was his fifth on league play, which means he'll be suspended for Wednesday's home clash against Granada. Mario Hermoso will be the main candidate for replacing Felipe at the back line.

Antoine Griezmann - Active off bench in winGriezmann sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made three tackles (one won) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

ImpactGriezmann was part of the attacking trio brought at halftime, alongside Yannick Carrasco and Matheus Cunha, and was the only one among them that didn't appear on the scoresheet. But the forward also contributed immensely for his side, creating some dangerous plays and even sacrificing to help on defense. Griezmann will try to put to an end his 12-game scoreless streak during Wednesday's home clash against Granada.

Rodrigo De Paul - Active off bench in winDe Paul had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in two off-target shots after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

ImpactDe Paul was brought in the 78th minute with the match already tied at 1-1. With his side having to finish with one man down, the midfield brought some much needed energy, tenacity and playmaking, which will probably boost his case for getting more playing time during Wednesday's home clash against Granada.

Jan Oblak - Makes four saves in winOblak made four saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

ImpactOblak made all great saves we're used to see from him but this time he committed a huge mistake, letting the ball slip under his body and go into the back of the net when trying to save Raul de Tomas' free-kick shot in the 74th minute. Anyway, the goalkeeper remain one of the top fantasy options at his position as he doesn't concede multiple goals since Feb. 12, with just nine goals conceded and four clean sheets over 13 starts between La Liga and UCL during this span. Up next for Oblak is Wednesday's home match against Granada.
