Vinicius de Souza Costa - Benching boosts outputSouza assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Betis.

ImpactEspanyol previously hosted Athletic Club on April 8, but Souza served as a substitute. Possibly having been rejuvenated post-benching, he took advantage of his latest starting opportunity to log his first assist as a La Liga midfielder.

Cesar Montes - Scores goalMontes scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Betis.

ImpactMontes has his first goal of the 2022-23 La Liga. But considering his career history and center-back role, fantasy managers should not expect him suddenly improving his goal rate. Yet as one of Espanyol's preferred defenders available, Montes will always have an opportunity to score as long as he can play.

Fernando Pacheco - Five saves, three goals concededPacheco made five saves and conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Betis.

ImpactPacheco logged five saves twice across Espanyol's three games during the first half of April. Unfortunately for him, he also conceded seven goals and will try to redeem himself against Cadiz on Friday.

Rodri - Records assistRodri assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Espanyol.

ImpactRodri logged the assist to Betis' third goal, which William Carvalho scored. Rodri's contribution was his first since he suffered an undisclosed injury that forced him to sit out twice during the second half of February. The assist also ended a small contribution drought Rodri suffered from March 5 to April 9, which could ultimately explain why he was a substitute Saturday. However, that should not be a problem moving forward.

Ayoze Perez - Goal and assistPerez scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Espanyol.

ImpactPerez scored Betis' first goal. Seven minutes after scoring, he logged the assist to Betis' second goal, which Juan Miranda scored. Both contributions were his first since being loaned from Leicester City. Ideally for Perez, having these droughts off his back will help him establish a valuable pace to goal contributing that was not there previously.

William Carvalho - Finally scores againCarvalho scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win over Espanyol.

ImpactCarvalho logged his first goal since Oct. 16, when he recorded a much rarer brace. Between that date and Saturday, the 31-year-old mostly served as a midfielder across 16 games during which he failed to score. With that in mind, fantasy managers should only expect him suddenly increasing his scoring rate if he continues receiving starts as an attacking midfielder.

Juan Miranda - Redeems himselfMiranda scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Espanyol.

ImpactDuring the Betis team's previous game, Miranda logged a foul that allowed Ruben Alcaraz to score his penalty-kick goal. But on Sunday, Miranda recorded his first goal since Feb. 24. Miranda's contribution compensated for his previous transgression.
