Game high seven shots in draw
Valverde took seven shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.
Analysis: Valverde was Uruguay's driving force in midfield and one of the standout performers in a frustrating 2-2 draw against Cape Verde. The captain dictated the tempo and covered plenty of ground on both sides of the ball, firing off a game-high seven shots in the process. If Uruguay is to move on to the knockout phase, they'll need a big performance out of Valverde against Spain on Friday.
Three shots, eight crosses in draw
Valverde generated three shots (two on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Valverde slotted as a right winger in what appeared to be a 4-2-3-1 setting, but the Real Madrid playmaker was a dominant presence in the middle of the park due to his passing and crossing skills. Playing in a more advanced role should boost his fantasy upside considerably, and he's tipped to be heavily involved again when Uruguay take on Cape Verde on Sunday, especially considering that Giorgian De Arrascaeta (calf) won't be an option.
