Real Sociedad players have provided a solid points haul for LaLiga Fantasy managers following the goalless draw with Celta Vigo in an early matchday 6 fixture. Goalkeeper Álex Remiro was the top performer with 10 points, closely followed by a defensive line that delivered a high-level performance.

The Basque side, sitting 13th in La Liga with 7 points from six games, kept their first clean sheet of the season at Anoeta. That result, coupled with a 3-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid last Friday, leaves the team with a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses. Saturday's defensive performance was immediately translated into rewards for the league's official fantasy game.

The Matchday Standouts

Remiro, with his saves and the clean sheet, leads the scoring list for the txuri-urdin. Right behind him, with 9 points each, are defenders Jon Aramburu, Sergio Gómez, Jon Martín, and Igor Zubeldia. Midfielder Beñat Turrientes also reached a notable figure, adding 10 points after a performance full of work in the centre of the park.

Other players who contributed to virtual teams were Ander Barrenetxea with 6 points, Yeray Herrera with 3, and Takefusa Kubo with 5. Mikel Oyarzabal, Gonçalo Guedes, and Andri Oskarsson added 4 points each. Carlos Soler and Jon Gorrotxa remained on 2 points, while manager Davide Matarazzo, despite being suspended for the match, also earned 2 points for the starting lineup.

Impact for Fantasy Managers

This match was played before the official start of LaLiga's sixth matchday, which kicks off on Tuesday, September 15th. For the millions of fantasy users, this means the points earned by Real Sociedad and Celta players are already banked. Managers who had them in their lineups start with an advantage for the rest of the round.

It's key to remember that the final lineup for the rest of the matchday's games must be saved before 19:00 on Tuesday. Those who don't have players from this match can still make changes to their virtual squad. Current rules no longer allow an extra lineup for these early fixtures, as was the case in previous seasons.

The fantasy output contrasts with the need for improvement in reality. With only 6 goals scored and 11 conceded, Real Sociedad are seeking more cutting edge ahead of their next challenge. On Sunday, September 20th, they visit a Valencia side in 17th place, in a key duel to climb the table.
