Impact Cruz has made just five starts in the club's last 12 contests and was an unused substitute four times over that stretch. As such, the defender is far from a lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI even once given a clean bill of health. As such, he figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

That's a great bounceback performance from the midfielder, who was an unused substitute on the previous match. Gomez will hope to keep getting significant minutes during this final stretch of campaign, including May 21 visit to Atletico Madrid.
