Javi Puado - Registers first assist of yearJavi Puado assisted once to go with two shots (zero on target) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Osasuna.

ImpactPuado got his first assist of the season after earning his fourth straight start. He may return to the bench soon once Nico Melamed (illness) returns to full form again. The 24-year-old has totaled three goals, one assist, 12 crosses (two accurate) and 11 chances created in 19 appearances thus far.

Martin Braithwaite - Nets goal against OsasunaBraithwaite scored one goal to go with four shots (three on target) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Osasuna.

ImpactBraithwaite logged in his second goal in two matches to put him at five on the year. With Joselu doing all the scoring for Espanyol, the 31-year-old usually hangs back, but still produces goals when he can. He is only averaging 1.8 shots a contest with 28 (six on target) on the season.

Ezequiel Avila - Gets assistChimy Avila assisted once to go with one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

ImpactAvila still produced for the team with an assist for his second on the year. This gives him a goal and an assist in the last four matches. He also ties his career high of assists and is still three away from his career high of goals with seven thus far. The Argentinian has a high chance to score next match with a trip to Valladolid next Sunday, in which he scored a goal during the last outing on Oct 30. The opponent has also conceded six goals in the last five contests.

Ante Budimir - One goal in drawBudimir scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Espanyol.

ImpactBudimir scored the first goal of the match and his first since Oct 20. He has started in four of the last five matches with Bruno Petkovic struggling to keep consistent performances on the campaign. The Croatian has logged in a goal on nine shots (three on target) in the last five contests.

Aitor Fernandez - Three saves against EspanyolFernandez registered three saves and allowed one goal with two clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Espanyol.

ImpactFernandez has allowed one single goal in each of the last three matches along with 10 saves in the span. Because of the Spaniard's form in recent games, looks like he will keep his goalkeeping role despite Sergio Herrera recovering from a knee injury. He will aim for his fifth clean sheet with a trip to Valladolid next Sunday, who have only scored once in the last five matches. The opponent also failed to score on Fernandez during their last meeting on Oct 30.
