Camp Nou, Barcelona, ESP
Ronald Araujo - Keeps clean sheet in drawAraujo kept a clean sheet with two tackles made (one won) during Saturday's scoreless draw with Rayo Vallecano.
ImpactAraujo will likely spend much of this season at right-back as Sergino Dest was left out of the squad for this game. The signings of Andreas Christensen and Jules Kounde also limit his chances in the middle even more, as Araujo appears to be the fourth-choice center-back but the top choice on the right.

Pedri - Creates two chances in drawPedri created two chances and put one shot off target in 72 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Rayo Vallecano. He also appeared to grab his thigh upon departure, but manager...
ImpactPedri played a typically sound game but didn't have a great deal to contribute in fantasy. Given how much the front line of Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha need to be on the ball, this could continue to be the case so that Pedri won't garner as much attention in fantasy as he does for his smooth play on the pitch.

Franck Kessie - Comes off bench in drawKessie put two shots off target in 18 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Barcelona.
ImpactKessie doesn't really have a place in the lineup if Gavi, Pedri and Busquets are all fit but as a new signing he should play plenty early in the season. If he sticks around long-term, Kessie will help back up Busquets as he ages.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen - Keeps clean sheet in drawTer Stegen kept a clean sheet with two saves made during Saturday's scoreless draw with Rayo Vallecano.
ImpactTer Stegen didn't have much to do but that's fine for game one. As the team gels and Jules Kounde works his way into the lineup, this could be a good season for ter Stegen based on the help he'll get in defense.

Ousmane Dembele - Active in drawDembele took four shots (two on goal) and created five chances from nine crosses (five accurate) during Saturday's scoreless draw with Rayo Vallecano.
ImpactDembele also conceded a yellow card during this game. Keeping him healthy will be the biggest key to his value, which should be exceptional if he comes even halfway to matching his production from last season (13 assists in 21 games).

Raphinha - Starts in debutRaphinha put four shots off target and created two chances from seven crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's scoreless draw with Rayo Vallecano.
ImpactRaphinha didn't take long to get into the lineup and looked plenty lively against a deep-lying opponent. The depth of this team won't permit Raphinha to play every week, but this is a decent start if there's anything to read this early in the season.
