The Good, the Bad and the Fantasy Surprise from Osasuna-Athletic

Osasuna and Athletic Club shared the points in a 1-1 draw in a Matchday 12 clash that saved its biggest drama for the closing stages. Nico Williams put the visitors ahead, but Catena popped up at the death to rescue a point for Los Rojillos. It was a match with very different protagonists from a fantasy perspective.

The Athletic winger once again showed he has the quality to decide matches. After a fiercely contested game, Nico Williams struck in the 84th minute to finish off a counter-attack led by his brother Iñaki and put Athletic in front.

His pace, dribbling and ability to turn up in the big moments were decisive. Although the late equaliser meant his goal did not lead to victory, Nico once again gave plenty of reasons to trust him as a fantasy pick.

THE BAD

Budimir

Much more was expected of the Croatian striker in such an important match for Osasuna. Budimir started, but barely managed to create any danger and ended up being replaced by Raúl García de Haro in the 80th minute.

The Osasuna forward found no space and could not impose his usual presence in the box. He also picked up a yellow card that only added to a disappointing display.

A frustrating matchday for those who backed him for goals, especially given that the striker is usually one of Osasuna's main attacking references.

When it looked as though Athletic were taking all three points, the least expected hero stepped forward. Alejandro Catena took advantage of a scrappy move inside the box to score the equaliser in the 90th minute.

The Osasuna centre-back became the hero of El Sadar with a goal that allowed his side to avoid another defeat. A decisive intervention that few fantasy managers would have predicted.

Goals from defenders are always an unexpected bonus in fantasy, and Catena was the perfect example of how a single action can completely change a player's value.
