Diego Lopez - Struggles in first start of season Lopez made a save and conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Almeria.

Impact Head coach Andoni Iraola made the tactical decision to start Diego Lopez over Stole Dimitrievski on Saturday. The 40-year old veteran was abysmal on in the match by only getting a save on 10 shots (four on target) while making critical mistakes that led him allow multiple goals. Look to see Dimitrievski start the next game against Getafe on Friday after Lopez failed to prove that he can handle pressure in the goal.

Diego Lopez - On bench Monday Lopez (undisclosed) was named to the match-day squad versus Elche on Monday.

Impact Lopez will continue to serve as the No. 2 option for Rayo Vallecano, so his return to the squad shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy impact.

Stole Dimitrievski - Concedes three in loss Dimitrievski conceded three goals and made four saves during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Dimitrievski couldn't do much as he and his teammates were beaten for three goals in 20 minutes during the first half. He's now conceded eight goals in his last four games while making 12 saves, recording just one win and three losses in that time. A decent save count will protect his value but Dimitrievski will have to step up himself over the coming weeks.

Falcao - Finds net off bench Falcao scored one goal in 11 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Falcao has started just once this season but still has more goals to his name than Sergio Camello. As Camello is likely to be more useful tactically due to his energy to contribute defensively in a stronger press, Falcao will have to keep scoring if he's to start consistently.

Fran Garcia - Provides assist in loss Garcia logged one assist from two chances created on six crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Garcia hasn't had a massive start to the season but was finally able to secure his first assist in two seasons. He's now created six chances and made five interceptions in his last five games, which isn't a tremendous contribution but offers stable value in the place of higher production.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Camello - Logs assist in loss Camello logged one assist from two chances created and put two shots off target during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Camello contributed to his first goal of the season despite starting in five of the first six games. While playing for a team that doesn't have any major goal-scorers available, Camello has been able to start over the veteran Radamel Falcao anyway. Should he find the net himself after logging six shots in his last two starts, Camello will increase his fantasy contributions by some measure.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Trejo - Scores against Athletic Trejo scored one goal from one shot and committed five fouls during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Trejo scored his first goal of the season but may have been fortunate not to earn a fourth booking in just six games. Now that he's contributed to two goals in two games, Trejo could be finding his attacking form following a slow start to the campaign.
