Jose Angel - Logs four crosses in loss Cote provided four crosses (two accurate) and put one shot off target in 82 minutes of Monday's 3-1 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Cote started for the first time in over a month and was able to put in a few crosses as a wing-back instead of being asked to play a more defensive role. As he has yet to start more than one match in a row all season, Cote has plenty of work to do before he's a reliable fantasy target.

Jon Moncayola - Provides assist in loss Moncayola provided one assist from two chances created on six crosses (three accurate) and put two shots off target during Monday's 3-1 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Moncayola has recorded two assists in his last three matches from 17 total crosses. He's shown flashes of offensive ability in his young career, but this recent success might just be his best work and a sign of his potential even in a struggling team. He'll next face Cadiz, which have conceded the second-most goals in La Liga.

Kike Garcia - Scores in loss Kike scored one goal from four shots (two on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 3-1 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Kike scored for the first time in 11 games but it wasn't enough to give his side a win for the first time in over two months. Should he find more confidence following this goal, he'll next face Cadiz, which are tied for the fourth-most scores conceded to forwards in La Liga.

Ezequiel Avila - Sent off in loss Avila was sent off after conceding two yellow cards in the final moments of Monday's 3-1 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Avila was only on the field for 15 minutes but earned both bookings over a two minute span in stoppage time. He also got away with nearly taking out Nico Williams -- which earned the ire of brother Inaki Williams -- but that's no longer as important as his pending suspension. He'll now miss at least Sunday's visit from Cadiz and with two matches as a sub in his last three appearances, his absence may not make much of a fantasy difference.

Unai Garcia - Makes nine clearances in loss Garcia made one tackle (won), nine clearances and two blocks during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact Garcia had a very solid performance at the heart of the defense, leading all players in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay during most of the match. It looked like a perfect day for the centre back, but then substitute Dario Poveda appeared in the middle of Osasuna defenders to score the winning goal for the hosts deep into second half's stoppage time. Garcia will try to help his side bouncing back during Jan. 3 home clash against Ahtletic Bilbao.

Ruben Garcia - Active performance in loss Garcia had two shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in six inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (one won) during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact Garcia was one of Osasuna's few bright spots on the offensive end, putting up a decent stat line and being involved on his side's most dangerous plays. On the other hand, despite of his strong efforts this season, the midfielder has zero goals and one assist over 17 appearances. Up next for Garcia is Jan. 3 home match against Athletic Bilbao.

Sergio Herrera - Concedes late goal in loss Herrera made three saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact Herrera had a nice performance here and it looked like he was on his way to a second clean sheet over a three-game stretch, but everything changed in the last play of the match, when substitute Dario Poveda headed home a cross from the right to give the opposition all three points in play. With 10 saves, five goals conceded and one clean sheet over his las five starts, Herrera will next face Athletic Bilbao on Jan. 3.

Robert Ibanez - Could return against Getafe Ibanez (illness) has been called up by Osasuna for Sunday's clash against Getafe.

Impact Ibanez has missed Osasuna's last three La Liga matches with COVID-19, but he has recovered and is available for selection on Sunday.

David Garcia - Suspended against Getafe Garcia will miss Sunday's clash against Getafe with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Garcia picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in last weekend's draw against Barcelona, meaning he will be suspended for Sunday's game. Garcia has played every minute of the La Liga season so far for Osasuna, so his absence will be felt. Juan Cruz will likely replace him in central defense for the game.

Sergio Herrera - Concedes two in draw Herrera conceded two goals and made no saves during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Herrera has gone undefeated in his last three matches, but he's recorded just one clean sheet in his last five appearances and failed to win a single game in that time. With his side in good form there's a chance of getting wins, but for now Herrera's biggest contribution can be how many saves he makes. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which have scored the fewest goals in the league.

Ruben Garcia - Logs five crosses in draw Garcia logged five inaccurate crosses and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Garcia has been a steady part of his side's success this season, though he's also conceded seven fouls in his last three appearances. From the midfield, it may be better to trust Jon Moncayola than Garcia, as the former has shown better efficiency (assisted in Sunday's win) and more consistent minutes in recent weeks. Up next is a trip to Getafe.

Jon Moncayola - Logs assist in draw Moncayola provided one assist from three chances created on seven crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Moncayola also won two-of-three tackles during Sunday's match. It's been a noteworthy evolution to see Moncayola make an attacking impact as he's recorded five shots, one assist and 12 crosses over his last three matches. He'll look for one more positive effort to finish out 2021 in Sunday's trip to Getafe, which have conceded 20 goals in 17 matches this season.

Ezequiel Avila - Scores off bench Avila scored one goal on his only shot in 22 minutes of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Avila's injuries prevent him from playing every week but he still seems to come up in big spots, just like the equalizer he scored in this game. He'll now target a starting place in Sunday's trip to Getafe, which have conceded 20 goals in 17 matches this season.

Impact Garcia scored the opening goal and has been a big part of his side's three-game run without defeat. Juan Cruz could join the back line while Garcia is out against Getafe but the lineup could return to full strength by the Jan. 3 match against Athletic Club.

Manuel Sanchez - Active in draw Sanchez logged four inaccurate crosses and won one-of-four tackles during Sunday's scoreless draw with Levante.

Impact Sanchez has logged six crosses and eight tackles over his last two starts, in which his team has conceded just one goal. While he's failed to complete the full 90 due to late substitutions, his numbers are solid for a middling team. Up next is a visit from Barcelona.

Sergio Herrera - Keeps clean sheet in draw Herrera kept a clean sheet with three saves made during Sunday's scoreless draw with Levante.

Impact Herrera has conceded just two goals in his last three matches but is winless in his last six starts. He'll next face a tough test against Barcelona but could be a realistic option in the following weeks if he holds onto his solid run of form.
