Martim Neto
ELC
Competing for midfield minutes
Neto has made four appearances and two starts for Elche through seven LaLiga matches, totaling 161 minutes.
Analysis: Neto has remained part of Elche's midfield rotation without establishing himself as an automatic starter. The 23-year-old has three shots but no goals or assists across 161 minutes. With Villar commanding a regular place and several other midfielders competing for minutes, Neto's workload should keep fluctuating, which will ultimately hurt his fantasy upside across all formats.
Returns to bench
Neto (undisclosed) is fit for Saturday's friendly against Toulouse, included on the bench, according to the club.
Analysis: Neto had been dealing with discomfort that ruled him out of the earlier friendly against Cordoba, so his inclusion in the matchday squad now confirms he has recovered. He made 25 LaLiga appearances last season, contributing two goals and five assists, and his bench role positions him to build back toward regular minutes as Elche continues preseason preparations.
Suffers from discomfort
Neto (undisclosed) is dealing with discomfort and was not available for Friday's friendly against Cordoba, according to Ismael Martinez of Todo Alicante.
Analysis: Neto made 25 LaLiga appearances for Elche last season, contributing two goals and five assists across 1,354 minutes, establishing himself as a regular contributor in midfield since joining from Benfica last summer. His current discomfort is a setback to monitor, and his path back to full training will be worth tracking as Elche continues its preseason preparations.
Flurry of service
Neto registered five crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: With six corner kicks and five crosses, Neto has a good baseline of service to intrigue managers who roster him. However, he'll need to be more accurate to take advantage of a great matchup coming up against Oviedo. The last-place team has given up 48 goals in La Liga action this season.
