Jorge De Frutos Sebastian - Created two chances in loss De Frutos created two chances from seven crosses (four accurate) and put two shots off target during Monday's 3-0 loss to Granada.

Impact De Frutos has done well over his last two starts with one assist from 13 crosses and three chances created. While his team continues to struggle, De Frutos looks to be a reasonable pickup if needed. Up next is a trip to Deportivo Alaves, which rank fifth in crosses conceded to midfielders.

He'll get another reasonable matchup against Deportivo Alaves, which are tied for the third-most goals conceded to forwards in La Liga.
