Marko Dmitrovic - Makes four saves in draw Dmitrovic made foir saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Dmitrovic got beaten by a close-range header with just two minutes into the game but then he put up a very nice performance to shut the opposition down during the rest of the way. The four stops made by the goalkeeper put him in sixth place among all La Liga counterparts, with 48, despite the fact that he was an unused reserve for the first six matches of the year.

Miguel De la Fuente - Logs another assist in draw Miguel delivered an assist, had four shots (three on target) and made three clearances during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Miguel had another huge contribution for Leganes as he logged an assist for the second consecutive game, this time setting up Seydouba Cisse for his team's lone goal in the 14th minute. The forward also had a season high in shots attempted and even helped defensively when his team needed. The makings of an all-around fantasy performer are there for the forward, but he really needs to start scoring more consistently to be considered a factor.

Seydouba Cisse - Scores again versus Espanyol Cisse scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created two chances and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Cisse picked up from where he left off in the previous match as he used a clinical finish in front of the keeper to draw things level at 1-1 in the 14th minute for what was his second consecutive game with a goal. However, it's still early to overreact on this as the midfielder is mostly known for his defensive contributions and went scoreless in his first 15 appearances of the campaign.

Juan Soriano - Earns suspension Soriano was sent off while on the bench during the 1-1 draw against Espanyol on Saturday.

Impact Soriano won't be available to face Atletico Madrid, and his next chance to return will come against Athletic Club on Sunday, Jan. 26. It's not like his presence would carry a lot of fantasy upside, though, as he hasn't started a league match since Sep. 19.

Jorge Saenz - Returning from suspension Saenz completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Saenz has started in nine of his 10 appearances this season, and with two of those coming over his last two outings, he could very well return to the side for this matchup.

Impact Raba made it to around the 70-minute mark before being dealt a blow that would force him off the field. He will likely be set for testing, with more likely coming out ahead of their next contest. He was replaced by Javier Hernandez, who will likely serve at left-back while Juan Cruz takes Raba's spot if he misses more time.

The fourth match of the ban would be determined depending on whether Leganes move into the next round of the Copa del Rey. Thus, his return will come either against Athletic Club or Rayo Vallecano.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Valentin Rosier - Set to return from ban Rosier completed his one-game suspension and will be available for Sunday's game against Villarreal.

He has one assist, 17 crosses, 50 clearances and 36 tackles this season. Given Leganes' defensive woes, however, he carries more value via defensive stats more than anything else.
