Barcelona visits Celta with club pressing to sign Xavi
Barcelona faces an important match at Celta Vigo while its club officials are busy negotiating in Qatar to sign Xavi Hernández as its new coachNOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stole Dimitrievski - Earns clean sheet Dimitrievski made four saves to preserve a clean sheet in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.
Impact Dimitrievski has four clean sheets this season and has allowed a mere 12 goals in 12 appearances this year. The keeper enters Saturday's matchup with Real Madrid riding a two-match shutout streak that he will be hoping to extend.

Isi Palazon - Records three shots in draw Palazon recorded three shots (one on target), three tackles (three won) and two clearances versus Celta Vigo on Monday.
Impact Palazon has registered 12 shots in his last five matches but has only managed to put two of those efforts on target. Unsurprisingly, the midfielder is goalless over the stretch and remains stuck at just one goal so far this season. He'll look to get back on track against Real Madrid on Saturday.

Oscar Trejo - Takes two corners Trejo registered two corners and two crosses (zero accurate) in a 27-minute substitute outing versus Celta Vigo on Monday.
Impact Trejo was making his first appearance off the bench, having started all 10 of his prior matches. On the year, the midfielder has notched two goals on nine shots (three on target), six assists, 33 crosses (10 accurate) and 10 corners. Trejo should find himself back in the starting XI and taking corner versus Real Madrid on Saturday.

Bebe - Generates five crosses Bebe recorded a team-high five crosses (zero accurate) against Celta Vigo on Monday despite logging just 17 minutes off the bench.
Impact Bebe couldn't help his side break the deadlock but certainly had an immediate impact on the match. Still, the forward has been an unused substitute in three of the club's last six contests while playing a combined 29 minutes in the other three matches. Without a clear path to the starting XI, Bebe shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
NOVEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Unai Lopez - Records five crosses Lopez registered five crosses (one accurate), two corners and two chances created against Celta Vigo on Monday.
Impact Lopez was making his second start in the club's last three games and fourth appearance in the starting XI of the year. While he's far from a lock to start on a weekly basis, the midfielder should continue to rack up crosses when he does feature for the club.

Stole Dimitrievski - Saves penalty Dimitrievski saved a penalty during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona.
Impact Dimitrievski faced only a single shot on target, a penalty, and stopped it to secure the win. The keeper has been in good form, and will look to keep it going Monday, against Celta Vigo.

Óscar Valentín - Busy in win Valentin made six tackles and committed five fouls during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona.
Impact Valentin had plenty to do Wednesday, but also couldn't avoid the referee's ire. The midfielder has some fantasy value defensively when in the starting XI, but he has very limited upside as a defensive midfielder. Next up is a Monday clash with Celta Vigo.
OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Alvaro Garcia - Five crosses in win Garcia sent in five crosses, none accurate, during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona.
Impact Garcia had plenty of chances to get forward and send crosses in but failed to find any friendly heads. The midfielder could have had a couple assists with some more accurate final balls. Next up for Garcia is a Monday clash with Celta Vigo.

Oscar Trejo - Assists yet again Trejo provided one assist on two chances created during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona,
Impact Trejo scored setting up the only goal of the match during Wednesday's win. The midfielder has played himself into some consistent starting time, and is a strong fantasy option as long as he stays in the starting XI. Next up is a Monday clash with Celta Vigo.
OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Falcao - Scores in upset Falcao scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona.
