Joaquin Fernandez - Comes off after 33 minutes Joaquin played for 33 minutes and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 3-2 win over Getafe.

Impact Joaquin has started in all but one of his seven appearances this season but a dismal performance saw him replaced after a third of the match. While still a reliable member of the back line, he'll have to step up his form if he's not to be replaced by Zou Feddal in the coming weeks.

Jawad El Yamiq - Out for next month El Yamiq is expected to miss between three and four weeks due to a grade II injury to his left quadriceps, his club announced Tuesday.

Impact El Yamiq was unfortunate to suffer this injury in his first appearance since Aug. 19, sentencing him back to the bench for the rest of October at the least. Joaquin and Javi Sanchez figure to be the top center-back options while Zou Feddal should offer more support in the coming weeks as well.

Sergio Leon - Scores two goals Leon scored two goals during a 3-2 win against Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Currently, Leon is Valladolid's only striker to have multiple goals across the 2022-23 La Liga. The forward indicated why he should continue playing instead of strikers like Shon Weissman and Sergi. Both players have fewer goals across more games started.

Jordi Masip - Four saves, including penalty Masip logged four saves (one penalty) during a 3-2 win against Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Masip saved shots by Juanmi Latasa, Borja Mayoral and Enes Unal (two). Unal's second opportunity (the penalty kick) was given because of an Alvaro Aguado foul. Fortunately for Valladolid, Masip saved the penalty-kick attempt and preserved a win.

Oscar Plano - Scores goal during win Plano scored one goal during a 3-2 win against Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Plano scored Valladolid's game winner. Using a 4-3-3 formation, the team won two of its last four games played. Plano was Valladolid's preferred left winger across that span.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kike Perez - Records assist Perez logged one assist during a 3-2 win against Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Perez's assist proves he can work well despite whichever of multiple forwards the Valladolid team possesses and uses. However, fantasy managers should not expect him to regularly log assists. Perez hadn't recorded an assist across his previous 48 appearances.

Gonzalo Plata - Quiet opening to season Plata has created five chances and made six tackles in four appearances (three starts) to open the 2022/23 season.

Impact Plata was an important contributor to Valladolid's promotion last season but hasn't had the same level of production in the top division. While playing for a team that is unlikely to score at a great clip, Plata will need to increase the reliability of his attacking output to offer substantial value in fantasy.

Sergio Leon - Doing work off bench Leon has logged one assist in five appearances (one start) this season.

Impact Leon needed to play more early but his minutes have been decreasing with every appearance as Shon Weissman and Sergi Guardiola got healthy. With this in mind and only one true forward spot available in manager Pacheta's formation, Leon is unlikely to make a massive impact this season aside from what he can contribute as a substitute.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Javi Sanchez - Extends contract through 2026 Sanchez signed a contract extension through 2026 with Valladolid, it was announced Monday.

Impact Sanchez has started five straight games, recording 10 interceptions and two yellow cards. This is solid progress in comparison to his last stint in La Liga, though he's still limited in his potential by a team that will struggle to stay afloat and avoid a relegation battle down the stretch.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Perez - Now out for two months Perez has been ruled out for the next two months after undergoing surgery on his groin, his club announced Friday.

Impact Perez is taking his time to get fully fit as an injury lingered from the end of last season and the World Cup break gives him basically until 2023 without missing a great deal of matches. Academy product Ivan Fresneda should slot in as the starting right-back until Perez comes back.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Asenjo - Out two weeks Asenjo has been ruled out for two weeks after suffering a fracture in his right hand, his club announced Saturday.

Impact Asenjo may only miss a couple of games with a week of the international break left before the Oct. 1 trip to Getafe. Jordi Masip, who conceded four in his lone start against Barcelona, should be in net while Asenjo is out.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Anuar - Out for season Anuar has suffered a torn right ACL, his club announced Saturday.

Impact Anuar had racked up three starts in six games, scoring key goal against Sevilla before injury officially ended his season. Oscar Plano will become the primary option on the left flank with Anuar out of the picture.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Asenjo - Concedes one in loss Asenjo conceded one goal and made no saves during Friday's 1-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Asenjo has conceded three goals in his last two games (both losses) after shutting down Almeria two weeks ago. An inconsistent start to the season doesn't provide much promise for his fantasy value, though things could change if Asenjo gets more goalscoring support.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Fresneda Corraliza - Does well in first start Fresneda created four chances from five crosses (three accurate) and won two-of-two tackles during Friday's 1-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Fresneda offered good production in his first start after only becoming a first team player in preseason. The absence of Luis Perez permitted Fresneda to make this appearance, so he'll need to train well during the international break to secure his place in the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Olaza - Logs 10 crosses in loss Olaza logged 10 crosses (zero accurate) during Friday's 1-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Olaza has now started two straight games and is improving in production as his minutes increase. He might be worth a little attention over the coming weeks but don't expect as much defensive value in a team that has conceded 11 goals in its first six matches.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kike Perez - Active in loss Perez took four shots (one on goal) and logged five crosses (zero accurate) during Friday's 1-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Perez set a new season high for shots and crosses in a single game with nine, though he has yet to convert either into a goal or assist. With the attack looking a little better thanks to Shon Weissman, Perez could continue to be a useful option from a team that hasn't been the best so far.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shon Weissman - Takes five shots in loss Weissman took five shots (four on goal) during Friday's 1-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Weissman was unlucky not to find the net but that's what happens when Jeremias Ledesma finds his groove for the opposition. All things considered, Weissman should remain a decent option from a lesser club seeing as he's scored once in three appearances and put five of his seven shots on target.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Guardiola - Set to play Sergi (knock) is expected to be fit for Friday's match against Cadiz, according to manager Pacheta.

Impact Sergi had been training on his own until Wednesday but it was mainly to manage a bruise and not aggravate another issue. Between he and Shon Weissman, the attack is set for their team but more goals are needed for fantasy relevance and to stay in the first division.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Perez - Out against Cadiz Perez will miss Friday's match against Cadiz due to an adductor issue, according to manager Pacheta via Jesus Dominguez of AS.

Impact Perez now has the international break to recover from what appears to be a minor muscular injury. This news could permit Ivan Fresneda to make another appearance, this time from kickoff, against a team that has yet to score this season.
