SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • YOUTUBE
Oguzhan Ozyakup - Records three crosses Ozyakup registered three crosses (two accurate), two corners and two chances created after coming off the bench at halftime against Ajax on Tuesday.
Impact Ozyakup has yet to feature in the starting XI for the club but may have done enough with his performance versus Ajax that he could be an option for the next Champions League matchup on Oct. 19 against Sporting CP.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Michy Batshuayi - Records three shots Batshuayi registered three shots (zero on target), one tackle (won) and one interception in a loss to Ajax on Tuesday.
Impact Batshuayi led the team with three shots but failed to put any of his efforts on target.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ersin Destanoglu - Gives up two in loss Destanoglu made five saves while allowing two goals against Ajax on Tuesday.
Impact Destanoglu has faced significant pressure in the Group Stage as he has racked up 10 saves while conceding just four goals. The keeper should continue to see plenty of shots in a clash with Sporting CP on Oct. 19.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mehmet Topal - Sidelined for a month Topal (muscle) is expected to miss about a month with a muscular injury.

Francisco Montero - Won't travel vs. Ajax Montero (illness) won't travel to Amsterdam after failing to make the preliminary squad for Tuesday's clash with Ajax.
Impact Montero is out with an illness and won't travel for Tuesday's clash with Ajax. Montero was the only goal-scorer for Besiktas during Matchday 1 of the Champions League but isn't a consistent goal threat in general. He should be healthy for an Oct. 19 clash with Sporting.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Welinton - Won't travel to Amsterdam Welinton (muscle) failed to make the preliminary squad for Tuesday's clash with Ajax.
Impact Welinton won't be in the squad for Tuesday's clash with Ajax, with a muscle injury putting the defender on the sideline for the Champions League match. Welinton will have two weeks of league matches before an Oct. 19 clash with Sporting.

Rachid Ghezzal - Out against Ajax Ghezzal (muscle) will miss Tuesday's trip to Amsterdam after failing to make the initial squad list.

Miralem Pjanic - Out of initial squad list Pjanic (muscle) failed to make the preliminary squad for Tuesday's clash with Ajax.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Atiba Hutchinson - Out vs. Ajax Hutchinson (muscle) will be out for Tuesday's clash with Ajax after failing to make the preliminary squad.

Ersin Destanoglu - Saves five in loss Destanoglu made five saves while conceding two goals in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
Impact Destanoglu stood up well against the seemingly ever-present Dortmund attack. While wins may be harder for the keeper to come by in the Group Stage, he should continue to get plenty of opportunities to make saves which gives him decent mid-range fantasy value.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Rachid Ghezzal - Generates four crosses Ghezzal recorded four crosses (one accurate), two shots (zero on target) and one corner versus Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Impact Ghezzal took just one of the team's four corners, with the bulk of the workload going to Miralem Pjanic. Looking ahead to a clash with Ajax on Sept. 28, Ghezzal shouldn't be expected to replace Pjanic as the primary corner taker but can still offer decent mid-range fantasy value.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Fabrice N’Sakala - Launches six crosses N'Sakala recorded six crosses (four accurate), two tackles (one won) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund.
Impact N'Sakala's six crosses led the way against Dortmund, though he wasn't able to help his side secure an equalizer. The left-back figures to continue pushing the attack from the backline and should be a solid fantasy target moving forward.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Miralem Pjanic - Picks up assist Wednesday Pjanic registered one assist, five crosses (four accurate) and three corners against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Impact Pjanic was second in crosses for the club and took all but one of the team's corners. The midfielder should continue to serve as the primary corner taker heading into the next Group Stage clash with Ajax on Sept. 28, making him a top-half fantasy target.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Francisco Montero - Scores goal in loss Montero scored a goal on one shot in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
Impact Montero's extra-time goal wasn't enough to pull the club even with the German side. The defender could be an option on setpieces moving forward but shouldn't be expected to convert with any consistency, making him a mid-range fantasy target at best.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Georges-Kevin N’Koudou - Picks up ankle injury Nkoudou suffered an ankle injury over the weekend and will miss Wednesday's match against Dortmund.
Impact Nkoudou is one of three injuries Besiktas suffered in their last league match, making things even harder for them in the opening Champions League match. They still have options like Kenan Karaman, but their depth will definitely be tested Wednesday.
