Wolves pursuing €25m move for Valencia star Guedes ' Goal.com Wolves are pursuing a deal for Valencia star Goncalo Guedes, Goal can confirm.
Giorgi Mamardashvili - Keeps clean sheet in first start Mamardashvili kept a clean sheet with four saves made during Friday's 1-0 win over Getafe.
Impact Mamardashvili won plenty of plaudits from fans during the preseason and injuries to Jasper Cillessen (undisclosed) and Jaume Domenech (knee) gave him the chance from game one. With an impressive performance even against an often-poor attacking side, Mamardashvili could be one of the surprise goalkeeping stars early in the season.

Goncalo Guedes - Logs three crosses in win Guedes provided three crosses (one accurate) and won two-of-three tackles during Friday's 1-0 win over Getafe.
Impact Guedes seems to be the second forward that Los Che were looking for over the last season and change, but his production still isn't enough to warrant much fantasy attention. With a softer opening to the season starting with the next match at Granada, there should be plenty of chances to gauge what Guedes can do in the coming campaign.
AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Soler - Scores from spot in win Soler scored a penalty goal from two shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Friday's 1-0 win over Getafe.
Impact Conceding fouls is a key part to new manager Jose Bordalas's game plan, but Soler is still an immensely talented player who's likely the key to Los Che's attack this season. Up next is a trip to Granada, which held the league's worst defensive record last year.
AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Alderete - Keeps clean sheet in first start Alderete kept the clean sheet with two blocks made and conceded a yellow card during Friday's 1-0 win over Getafe.
Impact Of all the teams to play while down a man, Alderete had the benefit of facing a perennially low-scoring Getafe side. This may give him a welcome boost of confidence, and his defensive stats seem solid enough to track early in the season. Up next is a trip to Granada, which will be figuring things out after the departure of Roberto Soldado to Levante.
AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Maxi Gomez - Takes one shot in win Gomez put one shot off target during Friday's 1-0 win over Getafe.
Impact Gomez doesn't seem to have changed much from last season as he didn't make much of an impact in the result aside from drawing six fouls and conceding a yellow card. As there aren't many other striking options, Gomez isn't likely to lose his place in the lineup for Saturday's trip to Granada.

Hugo Guillamon - Sent off quickly Guillamon was sent off with a straight red card after three minutes of Friday's match against Getafe.
Impact It only took three minutes into the La Liga season to see a dismissal as Guillamon managed to tackle an opponent with his studs too high not to be caught on VAR. So long as Uros Racic is healthy by the following match against Getafe, there won't be many issues filling Guillamon's spot in midfield until his return by the Aug. 27 match against Deportivo Alaves.

Maxi Gomez - Starting against Getafe Gomez (strain) is in the starting XI for Friday's opener against Getafe.
Impact Gomez didn't train a couple days ago, but he's a warrior and starting Friday's opener. He's hoping to rebound from last season's somewhat disappointing seven goals in 31 starts. Overall, his numbers have been down since joining Valencia a couple seasons ago.
AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Uros Racic - Makes bench for opener Racic (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's opener against Getafe.
Impact Racic is good to go for the opener, but it's unclear how he's feeling, as he's on the bench Friday. He started 25 matches last season and when healthy, he was a regular in the squad in the midfield, something that could be the case again.
AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Wass - Starting opener Wass (contract) is in the starting XI for Friday's opener against Getafe.
Impact Wass gets the call Friday despite having some contract issues. It's unknown where he's at in that aspect, but he started 35 matches last season and as long as he's in the team, he'll be a regular in the starting XI.
AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Soler - Starting against Getafe Soler is in the starting XI for Friday's opener against Getafe.
Impact Soler makes an immediate start Friday despite returning to training this week following the Olympics. It looks like he'll fight through fatigue issues, meaning a full 90 may not be in the cards in the opener, though after starting 31 matches last season, it may be best not to doubt him.

Jaume Domenech - Has knee injury Domenech is dealing with a knee injury and isn't ready to return to the team just yet, manager Jose Bordalas announced Thursday.
Impact Domenech probably won't be ready for Friday's season-opener against Getafe, which would leave Los Che short of options at goalkeeper outside of Giorgi Mamardashvili and Jasper Cillessen, who's not fully fit either. Additionally, manager Bordalas suggested that Domenech is almost back to training with his teammates, so he shouldn't be out for much longer.
AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Uros Racic - Dealing with injury Racic is dealing with an undisclosed injury ahead of Friday's season opener against Getafe, according to manager Jose Bordalas.
Impact It wasn't made entirely clear whether or not Racic would play Friday, so nothing will be finalized until the team publishes their squad list. Should Racic not play, Jason could get a rare chance to start.
AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jasper Cillessen - Last-minute decision for opener Cillessen (undisclosed) will be a game time decision for Friday's season opener against Getafe, according to manager Jose Bordalas.
Impact Cillessen still has a chance to play in the opener, but his current fitness explains why Giorgi Mamardashvili has played frequently during the preseason. Should Cillessen not be ready, Mamardashvili is likely to start in the opener Friday.
AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Maxi Gomez - Doesn't complete training Gomez wasn't able to complete Wednesday's training session, according to Manuel Blanc of El Desmarque.
Impact Gomez still expects to play Friday against Getafe, but his status has been put into some question after this news. Should he be unable to play, Goncalo Guedes and Manu Vallejo become key to the attack for Los Che and new manager Jose Bordalas.
AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Soler - Returns to training Soler joined his teammates in Tuesday's training session.
Impact Soler came back from winning the silver medal at the Olympics and like a few other players, hasn't elected to take much rest with the season less than a week away. Should he be ready to go, Soler's first chance to start will come Friday against Getafe.
AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Wass - Out while figuring out contract Wass has been given permission to resolve his future amidst outside interest, according to Javier Nacher of El Desmarque.
Impact Wass came out of the Euros suggesting he doesn't want to stick around with Los Che for much longer, though nothing has been finalized just yet. By Friday's match against Getafe that opens the La Liga campaign, there should be some resolution on to how much he'll play for now, if not all season.
AUGUST 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Soler - Logs assist in loss Soler provided one assist and put one shot on target during 75 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Brazil.
Impact Soler entered the match at halftime and provided a needed attacking boost as he set up Mikel Oyarzabal's well-taken equalizer. Though the result didn't fall in his favor, Soler still did well for himself in a smaller role than he'll get with his club. Heading into the coming La Liga campaign with Valencia, Soler figures to be one of the most important attackers available, though he may get some rest in the opening weeks after his Olympic exertions.
AUGUST 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Luis Gaya - Avoids serious injury Gaya took a knock during Wednesday's friendly against AC Milan and trained alone Thursday, according to Alex Lopez Sanfeliu of El Desmarque.
Impact Gaya was fortunate after an opponent stepped on his leg and should be able to play when the season opens Aug 13 against Getafe. With seven assists from 33 appearances last season, Gaya can be one of the better attacking fullbacks in the league.
AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kang In Lee - Another goal off bench Lee scored one goal across 33 minutes during a 6-0 win Wednesday against Honduras.
Impact Lee performed as a substitute during South Korea's last two Olympic group-stage games. Those meant to boost his confidence, which he improved by scoring three goals across that span.
