Atletico Madrid's Fernando Torres: Comes on as Substitute in Season Opener
Torres came on as a substitute in the 45th minute and failed to record a goal in Atletico's 1-1 draw against Alaves.
Analysis:
Although he failed to score, Torres drew the controversial penalty kick that gave Atletico a short-lived 1-0 lead. The goal was scored by Kevin Gameiro, who figures to be the number two scoring option behind Antoine Greizmann for Atletico Madrid this season. The signing of Gameiro, who scored 16 goals for Sevilla last season, spells restricted minutes for Torres. Despite his great career, his fantasy value will be greatly limited if Gameiro continues to score like he can.
