The striker couldn't produce anything noteworthy afterwards, which led him to be subbed off in the 71st minutes.

Impact The veteran forward had been struggling for minutes early in the season, but he made his presence felt in this one when he set up the team's first goal with a low cross that was met home by Yeremi Pino.

Struggling for minutes Alcacer is struggling to even get on the pitch, making his debut during Sunday's 0-0 draw with Mallorca.

Impact Alcacer had a disappointing 2020, scoring six times and adding four assists in 27 appearances, and it appears he may have lost his spot in the starting XI. The forward is struggling for minutes, and when on the pitch he's looked absolutely toothless and disinterested. Alcacer has next to no fantasy value barring some big changes.
