Erik Lamela - Ineligible against Elche Lamela will serve a one-match suspension for accumulation against Elche on Saturday.

Impact Lamela has been starting approximately every other match for the club, featuring in eight of the last 13 contests. In those appearances, the forward has recorded two goals on 20 shots (10 on target), 16 crosses (four accurate) and 10 corners. Given his role on freekicks and corners, Lamela could offer a decent fantasy upside when he does crack the starting XI.
