Kroos won four tackles, put in seven crosses, attempted two shots and provided a pair of assists in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Osasuna.

Kroos pulled the strings in the midfield once again, setting up Sergio Ramos and Pepe both from corner kicks to earn his assists. Kroos plays a vital role for Los Blancos and will be one of the first names on the team sheet for Wednesday's Champions League group stage opener versus Sporting Lisbon.

Kroos slotted home a brilliant finish off of the post and past the keeper to give Real Madrid a victory on Saturday.

Kroos has already equaled his goals total from last year (1). Last season he appeared in 32 games and recorded 10 assists to complement his lone goal. With Real Madrid's goals coming primarily from the three-head monster that is Christiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, it is not wise to rely on Kroos to score much more this season. Where his true value lies is in his ability to assist and make plays happen in the mid-field. Expect Kroos to get quality minutes and fill up the stat sheet in assists, crosses, and touches.

Kroos has been ruled out for UEFA Super Cup clash versus Sevilla on Tuesday, ESPN FC reports.

Manager Zinedine Zidane has not included Kroos in the group for the match as the midfielder has just returned from his prolonged summer vacation due to his participation in Euro 2016.

Kroos started all six matches for Germany during Euro 2016, tallying one assist, 15 shots, with four on target, 42 crosses, 15 dribbles and five fouls. He improves his international record to 71 caps and 11 goals. Germany were knocked out in the semifinals after a 2-0 defeat by France.

Kroos had another outstanding campaign with Real Madrid last season. The 26-year-old central midfielder had decent fantasy upside, despite playing often as a holding midfielder, finishing the season with one goal and 10 assists in 32 La Liga starts.

Kroos won two tackles, attempted three shots, put in six crosses and earned the assist on the only goal of Sunday's 1-0 win over the Ukraine.

Kroos was exceptional in terms of controlling play in the middle of the field, as he had an absurd 129 touches on the ball. He generated his assist via a pinpoint free-kick to the head of Shkrodan Mustafi, and narrowly missed netting a goal of his own when his long-range effort nicked the crossbar in the first half. Kroos thrives as the midfield fulcrum for the reigning World champions, and carries considerable fantasy value despite not being deployed in an attacking role.

Kroos provided four crosses and made two key passes, including his fifth assist of the season, in Sunday's draw with Valencia.

The German has been a bit of a stranger to the score sheet this season, but he continues to pull the strings in the Madrid midfield, as he amazingly completed all 80 of his passes in Sunday's match. Kroos is unlikely to become an impact fantasy contributor with so many attacking options to carry the load for Los Blancos, but he does hold a bit of value in formats that reward action stats. A home matchup versus Deportivo is next on the schedule.

Kroos registered an assist Saturday as Real Madrid defeated Las Palmas 3-1.

Kroos assisted Jese just before half- time for what would be the last goal of the game. The German was dynamic throughout, taking a game-high number of 101 touches, producing five crosses and hitting one shot. He was eventually substituted for Borja Mayoral with three minutes of regular time to play.
