Carlos Soler - Takes double in derby Soler scored two goals from three shots (all on target, one penalty) and created four chances during Monday's 4-3 win over Levante.

Impact Soler tends to be the key to his side's success and he played a crucial role in their comeback in Monday's local derby. With three goals and 15 chances created in his last four matches, Soler could be a reliable midfield option in the coming weeks. Up next is a visit from Espanyol.

Goncalo Guedes - Scores brace, assists in win Guedes scored two goals from five shots (four on goal) and provided one assist from one chance created during Monday's 4-3 win over Levante.

Impact Guedes was the star of the derby with goals in both halves, including a stunning dribble to clear out the goalie and defender before scoring the fourth of the night. He's scored three goals and provided one assist in his last two matches and if he continues to play like this, Guedes will be the answer long sought for from Los Che's available strikers. Up next is a visit from Espanyol, which have conceded 21 goals in 18 matches this season.

Carlos Soler - Creates five chances in win Soler had one shot on goal, created five chances, sent in 10 crosses (six accurate) and made two tackles (one won) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Impact Soler had one of his best performances of the season so far despite not appearing on the scoresheet. The midfielder was a menace both from open play and set pieces, creating a lot for his teammates and racking up double-digit crosses for the second time this season. A great source of fantasy numbers on the offensive end, Soler will try to remain productive during Dec. 20 visit to Levante.

Mouctar Diakhaby - Provides assist in win Diakhaby provided an assist and made three tackles (two won), six clearances and two interceptions during Saturday's 2-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Diakhaby had his usual numbers on defense but his biggest contribution came on the other end as the centre back assisted Cristiano Piccini for the goal that sealed the 2-1 for Valencia in the 86th minute. He looks to finally have regained his best form, starting four of the last five matches and racking up nine tackles and 14 clearances over this stretch. Up next for Diakhaby is Dec. 20 visit to Levante.

Cristiano Piccini - Bags winner off bench versus Elche Piccini scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made five clearances after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-...

Impact Piccini was brought in the 20th minute to replace the injured Toni Lato and ended up as the hero for Valencia as he scored the goal that sealed the 2-1 win in the 86th minute after a corner kick was headed towards him inside the box. This was the first goal of the season for the full-back over just three appearances. With the injuries that made him miss the start of the campaign left behind, Piccini will hope to keep getting playing time during Dec. 20 visit to Levante.

Jasper Cillessen - Assists, makes three saves in win Cillessen provided an assist, made three saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Impact Cillessen did a nice job with his hands as usual but was even better with his feet. The goalkeeper was credited with an assist after Gonzalo Guedes picked up his long pass before making a brilliant individual effort to open the scoring for Valencia and then made a miracle save with the right foot in the closing minutes to preserve the 2-1 win. With 18 saves, six goals allowed and two clean sheets over his last six starts, Cillessen will try to keep it up during Dec. 20 visit to Levante.
