Alberto Moleiro - Good performance in road draw Alberto Moleiro scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Moleiro was crucial in securing a point away from home for Las Palmas on Monday. In 88 minutes played, the 21 year old scored one goal from his only shot of the game, created one chance, made four passes into the final third, and won six duels. Moleiro now has goals in back-to-back starts for Celta Vigo. A late season surge from the young winger would be a great aid to Las Palmas who currently are inside the relegation zone by just one point.

Javi Munoz - Creative in attack Javi Munoz generated one shot (zero on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Munoz showed sparks of creativity in Las Palmas' 2-2 draw with Deportivo Alaves on Friday. In 90 minutes played, the attacking midfielder completed both of his dribbles, completed six of his nine long ball passes, and made seven passes into the final third. Still, the continued lack of tangible output will be frustrating for Munoz, who has not registered a goal contribution since November 30. Hopefully the international break will do him some good and he can get back on track on March 31 against Celta Vigo.

Jasper Cillessen - Average performance in draw Cillessen made one save and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Cillessen had a middling showing in net as Las Palmas drew with Deportivo Alaves 2-2. The Dutch keeper made one save, conceded two goals, made no diving saves or saves from inside his own box, but did complete nine of his 11 long ball passes. To his credit, the goals both came from good offensive positions, so there was not much he could have done to stop them. He will hope to have a better showing against Celta Vigo on March 31 after the international break.
