Falls out of starting XI
Pepe has started each of the last two La Liga matches on the bench, making an 11-minute substitute appearance in the most recent fixture.
Analysis: Pepe has seen his role decrease after beginning the season in strong form, with Ilias Akhomach recently earning opportunities on the right wing and performing well. Pepe has recorded two goals, nine chances created, 17 crosses and eight corners across six La Liga appearances. Akhomach's emergence has increased the competition for starts, though Pepe should remain firmly in the attacking rotation.
Scores for Villarreal
Pepe scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Deportivo.
Analysis: Pepe scored one of Villarreal's two goals in Saturday's match while also adding four key passes and three successful dribbles. He now has two goals to start the season and has been heavily involved in the attack, recording six shots on target, nine key passes, and 13 successful dribbles through the opening four matches.
