Thomas Delaney - Moves to Sevilla Delaney will transfer to Sevilla from Borussia Dortmund effective Wednesday.

Impact Delaney will be departing the Bundesliga for the first time since 2016-17 when he originally joined Werder Bremen. In total, the midfielder made 88 appearances for Dortmund in which he registered four goals and 11 assists. With Sevilla, Delaney should compete for regular minutes but is far from a lock for the starting XI.

Jules Kounde - Keeps clean sheet in win Kounde kept a clean sheet with five interceptions made during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Kounde did well against a team that doesn't score much but had a better attacking show than was often present last season. As long as he's with Diego Carlos at the heart of the defense, Kounde shouldn't have any issues racking up clean sheets with regularity all season, whether it's Bono or Marko Dmitrovic starting behind him in goal.

Suso - Plays first half in win Suso logged 45 minutes during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Suso's appearance in this game was his first of the season after skipping the opener against Rayo Vallecano. With a tactical change now featuring the wide players in a tighter formation than last season, it will be interesting to see if Suso is able to lock down a starting gig when there's greater competition for minutes. Up next is Saturday's trip to Elche.

Oussama Idrissi - Takes one shot off bench Idrissi put one shot on target and provided two inaccurate crosses during 23 minutes of Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Idrissi also started in the season-opening win over Rayo Vallecano, so his role in this team appears to be growing in comparison to last season, where he spent more time on loan at Ajax. In an increasingly-deep winger rotation it will be interesting to see who plays the most and how many minutes are split.

Bono - Keeps clean sheet in win Bono kept clean sheet without making a save during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Bono made his first start of the season under favorable circumstances against an opponent that hasn't had a serious scoring threat in a couple of seasons. The competition for the starting goalkeeper spot between he and Marko Dmitrovic is sure to keep going for a few weeks, so keep an eye onto who ends up in goal for one of the best defenses in the league.

Erik Lamela - Scores again in win Lamela scored one goal from his only shot and created two chances during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Lamela has scored three of Sevilla's four goals through two games as he bagged the winner in Monday's match. It's somewhat hard to pick him if he continues to be utilized as a substitute, though one would expect he would break into the lineup soon if he keeps scoring at this rate. Up next is a trip to Elche.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Papu Gomez - Plays first half in win Gomez logged one inaccurate cross during the first half of Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Gomez didn't go far into his first start of the season but may still be working his way into full fitness. This will be something to monitor heading into the next match at Elche, though much of the crossing production in this team comes from the full backs instead of in the midfield.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Navas - Logs four crosses in win Navas logged four inaccurate crosses and kept the clean sheet during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Navas didn't have much to do and didn't do much with what he had to do in a game more full of energy than efficiency. This isn't likely to always be the case, though Navas also has competition from Marcos Acuna on the other flank for production among his team's attacking full backs. Up next is a trip to Elche.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Youssef En-Nesyri - Shotless in win En-Nesyri created one chance during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact En-Nesyri went shotless after scoring and assisting in the opening win against Rayo Vallecano. Facing a team like Getafe is usually a tough defensive matchup, but there are plenty of those in La Liga these days so he'll need to stay sharp in order to have another good season. Up next is a trip to Elche.

Oliver Torres - Out against Getafe Torres will miss Monday's match against Getafe due to an undisclosed reason.

Impact Torres also missed the first match of the season against Rayo Vallecano and remains unavailable. He's mostly a backup option in the midfield when fit, so his absence isn't nearly as impactful as it could be while Fernando, Ivan Rakitic and Joan Jordan are all able to play.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Ocampos - Remains out Ocampos (undisclosed) remains out for Monday's match against Getafe.

Impact Ocampos also missed the first match of the season and it's unclear when he could return. Along with Rafa, Erik Lamela will help to fill the gap on the wings until Ocampos is able to play.

Rafa Mir - Moves to Sevilla Rafa joined Sevilla from Wolves on Friday. He's committed to a six-year contract with his new club.

Impact Scoring 13 goals for Huesca and a hat trick for Spain at the Olympics is a good way to climb the club chain in one year and now Rafa finds himself in one of the top teams in La Liga. What will be more difficult for Rafa is to consistently start at forward due to the presence of Youssef En-Nesyri, who scored 18 goals of his own last season and added six more in the Champions League. As a result, Rafa may first bump Luuk de Jong out of the striking rotation and then play on the wings in order to include the most talented lineup.

Luuk De Jong - On bench in win De Jong was left on the bench during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact De Jong had picked up a knee injury over the summer and is fit enough to make the match day roster for the opening round of the season. As the backup striker behind Youssef En-Nesyri, de Jong may not be guaranteed to start frequently in any case.
