Donyell Malen - Leading the line Tuesday Malen will be in the starting XI on Tuesday against Besiktas, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Malen is set to get another start in the Champions League with the group already decided heading into the final match. The forward was one of the first options to deputize for Erling Haaland and has earned the start. Malen has four goals in 19 appearances in all competition so far in 21/22.

Axel Witsel - Starting Tuesday Witsel will start Tuesday against Besiktas, according to manager Marco Rose.

Raphael Guerreiro - Likely limited Tuesday Guerreiro (muscular) is unlikely to play the full 90 Tuesday against Ajax, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Guerreiro is just returning from a plethora of injuries so it's not surprising that he won't be playing Tuesday with the Champions League group stage already decided. The full-back will look to return to playing the full 90 Saturday, against Bochum in the Bundesliga.

Erling Haaland - Not ready for full 90 Haaland (hip) won't play the full 90 during Tuesday's clash with Besiktas, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Haaland wasn't expected to return from this hip injury until 2022 and yet he has played and scored in his last two matches. The forward is a strong option even without a guarantee that he will play a full 90, though it's tough to trust him if he doesn't start. He will hope to return to full fitness for a Saturday trip to Bochum.

Gregor Kobel - Three saves in defeat Kobel made three saves and one clearance during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Kobel conceded three goals to Bayern Munich, which is plenty understandable. The keeper is still a top fantasy option and has a much more favorable clash Tuesday, against Besiktas.

DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Emre Can - Busy in defeat Can made three interceptions and two tackles during Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Bayern.

Impact Can struggled to get anything going forward, as he tends to frequently with his defensive role. The midfielder simply hasn't had much fantasy value this year, and despite some surprise starts further up the pitch, is a lackluster fantasy option. Next up is a Tuesday clash with Besiktas.

DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jude Bellingham - Pair of assists Bellingham provided two assist on two chances created during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Bayern.

Impact Bellingham did well to earn both assists, and was at his very brilliant best. The midfielder has a lackluster fantasy role as a defensive midfielder, but that hasn't stopped him from having excellent individual days. He will likely play a major part Tuesday, against Besiktas.

Julian Brandt - Scores, stretchered off Brandt (head) scored once and was stretchered off after a nasty collision during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Bayern.

Impact Brandt scored early on a beautiful dribble through the Munich defense showing his stellar individual skill the the extreme. Unfortunately he had a collision with Dayot Upamecano in the second half and was stretchered off though he was seen looking around and seemed aware of his surroundings. It's doubtful he will play Tuesday against Besiktas.

Impact Haaland scored once again on his return to the starting XI from a hip injury.

Haaland is a top two fantasy option in the Bundesliga, alongside Robert Lewandowski.

Raphael Guerreiro - In starting XI Saturday Guerreiro (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich.

Impact Guerreiro returns to the XI after missing eight of the last nine matches for Borussia. The hope is that he doesn't suffer a recurrence and he can again hold onto this starting role. When healthy, he's been a regular in the XI this season.

Jude Bellingham - Starting against Bayern Bellingham (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich.

Erling Haaland - Not starting once more Haaland will be available off the bench Saturday, against Bayern, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Haaland is perhaps the only striker in the world as purely gifted as Robert Lewandowski, so it's hard to recommend against him, and yet it's hard to pay the salary Haaland commands for someone who isn't starting. An intriguing fantasy play, Haaland will hope to return to the starting XI sooner rather than later.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jude Bellingham - Optimism around return Bellingham (undisclosed) trained well this week and could play Saturday, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Bellingham will be looking to make his way back from an undisclosed injury Saturday, and there's hope that he will do just that. The midfielder has every chance to play Saturday and has made a strong return to training. Bellingham is a low-ceiling fantasy option if he does play.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Akanji - Training lightly Akanji (undisclosed) is training lightly ahead of a Saturday clash with Bayern, according to manager Marco Rose.

Impact Akanji is dealing with a knock and a groin injury, but the hope is that he will be able to make a full appearance Saturday. The defender isn't a major fantasy option even when playing due to his role at center back.
