Falcao - Out against Levante Falcao will miss Saturday's match at Levante after returning from international duty with little time to train with his teammates, according to manager Andoni Iraola via Union Rayo...

Impact Falcao was expected to miss this game already after getting called up to the Colombian national team but it was always likely he was going to be given more time to train once he arrived in Madrid. This should mean that Randy Nteka will get the start over the weekend, though things should get more interesting after the arrival of Sergi as well.

Falcao - Unlikely for Levante match Falcao isn't expected to be ready for Saturday's match at Levante after playing for Colombia during the international window, according to Union Rayo.

Impact Falcao will need extra time to settle in with his new club, so his chances of debuting this weekend are lower. He'll compete with Randy Nteka for minutes as the starting striker, though it will be interesting to see how the veteran Falcao compares to Nteka, who just made his step up from the second division.

Falcao - Signs with Vallecano Falcao has signed a dealwith Rayo Vallecano after the termination of his Galatasaray contract.

Impact Falcao is back in one of the top European leagues after scoring 19 goals in 34 appearances at Galatasaray the last few years. He's never really lived up to the hype and it's unknown how much he last left in the tank at 35 years old. In the 2018/19 season, his last with Monaco, he had 15 goals in 33 appearances.

Sergi Guardiola - Loaned to Vallecano Sergi has joined Rayo Vallecano on a season-long loan from Valladolid, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Sergi scored just one goal and two assists last season as Valladolid were relegated from La Liga -- he scored eight goals the season prior. But he makes the move back up to the first division for this year with Vallecano, where he will challenge Randy Nteka for the starting spot at forward.

Unai Lopez - Moves to Vallecano Lopez has signed a three-year deal with Vallecano from Athletic Bilbao.

Impact Lopez makes the move to Vallecano after starting 39 matches the last two seasons at Bilbao. He should immediately contend for starts at Vallecano, though his exact role is unclear after he split set pieces at times with Athletic.

Stole Dimitrievski - Keeps clean sheet in win Dimitrievski kept a clean sheet with three saves made during Sunday's 4-0 win over Granada.

Impact Dimitrievski has only conceded one goal in his two starts this season after a solid effort Sunday. With Luca Zidane returning from his suspension by the next match at Levante, Dimitrievski may move to the bench, but that will be something to determine over the international break.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Randy Nteka - Scores in win Nteka scored one goal from three shots (two on goal) and created two chances during Sunday's 4-0 win over Granada.

Impact Nteka has started two-out-of-three matches to begin the season but it took until this game for his first shot and goal. Now that he's set for some softer matchups after the international break, Nteka could get into better form over the coming weeks.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Santi Comesana - Gets goal in win Comesana scored one goal from four shots (two on goal) and logged three tackles (one won) during Sunday's 4-0 win over Granada.

Impact Comesana has been one of the more steady options from his team, but a boost from the attacking end of the pitch always makes a bigger difference. If he can continue get up the field after the international break against Levante, Comesana should draw a little more attention.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Trejo - One goal, two assists in win Trejo scored one penalty goal and provided two assists during Sunday's 4-0 win over Granada.

Impact Trejo had a big impact on the final result, though he did concede four more fouls in this contest. It will be up to Trejo to rein in his fouling to generate properly consistent fantasy value, and his next chance will come after the international break at Levante.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Garcia - Scores in win Garcia scored one goal on four shots (one on goal) and logged eight crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 4-0 win over Granada.

Impact Garcia faced much tougher challenges over the first two matches before completing a solid performance in this game. He'll get another favorable matchup after the international break at Levante, and that will be a good chance for Garcia to prove this goal wasn't an anomaly.

Bebe - Pads stats off bench Bebe recorded four shots not on goal and four crosses (one accurate) across 16 minutes during a 1-0 loss Sunday against Real Sociedad.

Impact Despite playing less than 20 minutes, Bebe attempted more shots than any other Rayo Vallecano footballer. He could occasionally supply some value if available. However, Randy Nteka and Andres Martin seem to be more favorable starting options right now.

Martin Merquelanz - Great against loanee Merquelanz recorded six crosses (three accurate), three corners and three chances created during a 1-0 loss Sunday against Real Sociedad.

Impact Merquelanz showed his skill set against the team that loaned him out less than two weeks ago. The Rayo Vallecano squad does not have many other attacking options, so its Real Sociedad loan is already a more promising option compared to what else it has.

Alejandro Catena - Provides serviceable defense Catena recorded six clearances and two interceptions during a 1-0 loss Sunday against Real Sociedad.

Impact Catena was Rayo Vallecano's only footballer who recorded multiple clearances and interceptions. However, the team lost because Mikel Oyarzabal scored a penalty kick off an error from Ivan Balliu.

Ivan Balliu - Gives up penalty Balliu recorded three tackles (one won), two interceptions and one yellow card during a 1-0 loss Sunday against Real Sociedad.

Impact Despite supplying some serviceable defense, Balliu was punished for a handball inside Rayo Vallecano's penalty box. Mikel Oyarzabal proceeded to score the spot-kick.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Stole Dimitrievski - Records seven saves Dimitrievski conceded one goal but recorded seven saves and four clearances during a 1-0 loss Sunday against Real Sociedad.

Impact Dimitrievski played outstandingly despite conceding an unfortunate goal, a Mikel Oyarzabal penalty kick rewarded thanks to one of the goalkeeper's teammates. The former averaged six saves across his last two games. Considering the two-game save output, Dimitrievski could start regularly once Luca Zidane returns from suspension.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Randy Nteka - Starts in opener Nteka logged 71 minutes during Sunday's 3-0 loss to Sevilla.

Impact Nteka had picked up an injury during the preseason but was already back to start the first game. Without a shot or cross to show for, it wasn't an ideal debut for fantasy or otherwise.
