Sarri's quiet revolution at Lazio built on mean defence as fans dream of title tilt Lazio recorded an impressive victory against Atalanta this weekend in what was Maurizio Sarri's team's sixth consecutive clean sheet
Juan Musso - Unused versus Lazio Musso (face) didn't feature in Saturday's 0-2 loss to Lazio.
Impact Musso didn't return between the sticks right away after being cleared following jaw and orbital fractures. His backup Marco Sportiello hasn't been particularly spectacular, so he's set to resume starting once he'll be comfortable playing with a mask.

Duvan Zapata - Comes off bench against Lazio Zapata (thigh) had two inaccurate crosses in 19 minutes in Saturday's 0-2 loss versus Lazio.
Impact Zapata didn't make an impact in his first appearance in over two months. His minutes are bound to increase versus Empoli since Luis Muriel is suspended. He'll likely split time with Rasmus Hojlund. He has notched five shots (two on target), two chances created, and six inaccurate crosses in five matches.
OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Teun Koopmeiners - Four crosses in loss Koopmeiners had one shot (zero on target), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Lazio.
Impact Koopmeiners had perhaps the best fantasy outing of any Atalanta player Sunday. His four crosses were a team-high. The midfielder is averaging 3.5 crosses per match to go with two tackles and two shots.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Sportiello - Concedes two in loss Sportiello grabbed three saves (two goals conceded) during Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Lazio.
Impact Sportiello made a few nice stops but just didn't receive any goal support from his outfielders. He's averaging three saves per match in league play. His next opportunity to rebound comes Sunday at Empoli.

Marten De Roon - Limps off versus Lazio De Roon had three clearances, won one tackle, and took one off-target shot before leaving due to thigh discomfort, coach Gian Piero Gasperini told BergamoNews.
Impact De Roon has played every minute so far, routinely working hard in the midfield. The gaffer added that the hope is that he bowed out before suffering a substantial injury. He'll be evaluated in the next few days. Ederson would likely replace him if he had to miss time.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Muriel - Sent off versus Lazio Muriel created two scoring chances, sent in nine crosses (one accurate), won one tackle, and was booked twice in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Lazio.
Impact Muriel had a fairly busy performance on a rough day for the Atalanta offense, leading his team in crosses but with little accuracy. He picked up a yellow card for diving early on and one for a late tackle in the final minutes. He will miss next Sunday's away game against Empoli. Duvan Zapata or Rasmus Hojlund will replace him in the XI.

Duvan Zapata - Makes bench against Lazio Zapata is fit and in the match day squad to face Lazio on Sunday.
Impact Zapata returns from a thigh injury that has kept him out since September. The forward starts from the bench as he remains in search of his first goal after starting four matches prior to the injury.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Musso - Called up for Lazio tilt Musso (face) has been named in Atalanta's squad list to face Lazio Sunday.
Impact Musso will be back from multiple face fractures earlier than expected and might reclaim his starting job at the expense of Marco Sportiello right away. He has made 16 saves, allowed three goals, and kept three clean sheets in seven matches so far.
OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Musso - Appears in friendly Musso (face) got the start in Thursday's friendly versus Ponte San Pietro, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Impact Musso missed the last three matches after multiple fractures in his face, but he's set to be back sooner than expected and play with the help of a special mask. If he felt good, he might be called up for Sunday's home game versus Lazio.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Duvan Zapata - Returns to full practice Zapata (thigh) trained with the rest of the group Tuesday, Atalanta announced.
Impact Zapata missed the last six matches with a thigh strain. The coach sounded optimistic after the last tilt, and he's indeed slated to be back for Sunday's home game versus Lazio. Luis Muriel has fared as of late, so it's likely that he'll be eased into action. The two can feature together, at the expense of a midfielder, in aggressive schemes. He has tallied five shots (two on target), two chances created and four inaccurate crosses in four scoreless appearances.

Marco Sportiello - Beaten once versus Sassuolo Sportiello had two saves and one accurate keeper-sweeper and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Giorgio Scalvini - Puts up numbers versus Sassuolo Scalvini had two interceptions and one clearance and won three of four tackles and three duels in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Sassuolo.
Impact Scalvini had a strong display in the back and enjoyed an uptick of minutes with Rafael Toloi (thigh) on the mend, but Berat Djimsiti might start getting integrated back into the rotation in the next match. He has logged 13 tackles, seven interceptions, ten clearances, and two blocks in seven appearances (four starts).
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Merih Demiral - Wins ten duels against Sassuolo Demiral won one of three tackles and ten duels and had one block and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Sassuolo.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joakim Maehle - Decent in Sassuolo game Maehle won two duels and had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Sassuolo.
Impact Maehle wasn't overly impressive but put together a solid showing and tried to help the offense with his energy out on the left flank. He has tallied three shots (one on target), two chances created, four crosses (one accurate), and seven tackles (four won) in the last five games (three starts).
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Teun Koopmeiners - Well rounded versus Sassuolo Koopmeiners took two shots (zero on goal) and had four crosses (two accurate), three interceptions, and one block Saturday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.
Impact Koopmeiners didn't have a ton of volume but still paced his team in crosses, along with Luis Muriel, and picked up stats at both ends. He has picked up an assist and added eight shots (three on target), eight chances created, and 18 crosses (seven accurate) in the last five games. Atalanta will host Lazio next Sunday.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Soppy - Provides two assists versus Udinese Soppy assisted twice to go with two crosses (one accurate) and five chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Sassuolo.
Impact Soppy paced his team in key passes and set up his teammates twice, generously slipping it to Mario Pasalic when he could have easily finished on his and then finding Ademola Lookman with a timely through ball. His playing time is still somewhat spotty, but he's generally pretty good when he's called upon. He has logged two shots (one on target), six chances created, and three crosses (one accurate) in the last five appearances.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Muriel - Delivers four crosses in Sassuolo game Muriel won three duels and one tackle and had four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.
Impact Muriel didn't have an active in the two goals and failed to take a shot, but he still contributed on offense. He has regained a consistent role after a subpar start to the season. He has posted one goal, two assists, seven shots (three on target), and eight chances created in the last five matches (four starts). Atalanta will host Lazio next Sunday.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ademola Lookman - Scores versus Sassuolo Lookman scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Sassuolo.

He has added six shots (four on target), four chances created, and three crosses (two accurate) in the last few appearances. Atalanta will host Lazio next Sunday.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Berat Djimsiti - Unused versus Sassuolo Djimsiti (lower leg) didn't feature in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.
Impact Djimsiti was available after missing a month and a half with a fibula fracture, but he didn't play. He will challenge Caleb Okoli and Giorgio Scalvini to get the nod in next Sunday's home game versus Lazio.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hans Hateboer - Clears suspension Hateboer served his one-game ban in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.
Impact Hateboer sat one out due to yellow-card accumulation. He will likely replace either Joakim Maehle or Brandon Soppy in the lineup in next Sunday's home game versus Lazio. He has logged four chances created, six crosses (three accurate), four tackles (two won), and nine clearances in the last five matches.
