Starting regularly in midfield
Ruiz de Galarreta has started in five of his six 2026/27 LaLiga appearances for Athletic Club.
Analysis: Ruiz de Galarreta opened the season on the bench but has started in his other five appearances, providing balance and a steady presence in the middle of the park. Ruiz de Galarreta has one assist, six chances created and five interceptions this season, but as a holding midfielder, it's not surprising to see his fantasy stock being very low despite his regular starting role.
Back with team
Galarreta (personal) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Espanyol.
Analysis: Galarreta had to miss the club's last match after the birth of his son, but is back in the team Wednesday, with the midfielder fit enough to find the starting XI. The midfielder is likely to maintain a decent role in the final few games of the season, starting in 28 of his 32 appearances this season, while notching one goal and two assists.
