Ezequiel Ponce
ELC
Serving as rotational striker
Ponce has made three LaLiga appearances this season, starting once and logging 121 minutes.
Analysis: Ponce returned to Elche late in the summer window but hasn't immediately taken over a regular starting role. The striker has started just one of his three appearances, and he seems to be set into a backup role behind Fer Nino, who has earned most of the playing time upfront. As such, Ponce has been a rotational option whose fantasy value will depend largely on whether his minutes increase.
Returning to Elche
Ponce completed a transfer to Elche until the end of the 2026/27 season Friday.
Analysis: Ponce is back with Elche after playing for the team in 2021/22 and 2022/23. He didn't score a goal in the first half of the 2026 MLS season with the Houston Dynamo, but at the very least, he'll add depth upfront for them. He bagged 10 goals in the 2025 campaign.
Assists in rout
Ponce assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Austin FC.
Analysis: Ponce got on the scoresheet during Saturday's win, creating a pair of chances during the one-sided win. He added an assist in the match and was a threat throughout his time on the pitch. He didn't have too much volume, but he was efficient on the ball and looked dangerous whenever he got forward, an encouraging sign moving forward.
