Dani Parejo - Earns one-game ban Parejo picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 2-2 draw against Osasuna on Nov. 24 and will be suspended to face Girona this upcoming Sunday.

Impact Parejo has started in all but two of Villarreal's matches in the current league campaign, and there's no question his creativity will be missed in midfield. With just two goals and no assists, however, he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside from his role as a central midfielder. Parejo's next chance to play will come against Athletic on Dec. 8.
