Janis Blaswich - Comes off bench in winBlaswich conceded one goal and made three saves in 77 minutes of Tuesday's 3-1 win over Celtic.

ImpactBlaswich had to make his third appearance of the season as the replacement for Peter Gulacsi, who has torn his ACL and will be out for most of the season. Going forward, look to Blaswich as the starter between the posts.

Peter Gulacsi - Tears ACLGulacsi was confirmed to have suffered a torn right ACL during Tuesday's UCL match against Celtic.

ImpactGulacsi might be back in time for the end of the season as he'll miss somewhere between six and nine months at the least. An unfortunate movement saw Gulacsi collapse on his knee while attempting to make a pass and that lead to his present situation. In his absence, Janis Blaswich figures to be the starter after coming in during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Celtic.

Yussuf Poulsen - Plays eight minutesPoulsen played eight minutes during a 3-1 win against Celtic on Wednesday.

ImpactPoulsen subbed for Dominik Szoboszlai after RB Leipzig logged three goals. So currently, fantasy managers should expect the Dane being a backup when healthy. Injuries limited Poulsen to 40 minutes across Leipzig's 11 games (eight domestic, three international) played since August. Also, teammate and forward Andre Silva scored two goals Wednesday. He will continue to be Leipzig's preferred striker until further notice.

ImpactSzoboszlai benefited from a bad pass by Joe Hart. He received it and supplied an assist of RB Leipzig's second goal. Across his three Champions League games played during 2022, he has two assists. Fantasy managers should expect Szoboszlai continuing to be one of the Leipzig team's preferred midfielders despite its hectic schedule.

Mohamed Simakan - Records assistSimakan logged one assist during a 3-1 win against Celtic on Wednesday.

ImpactSimakan played an hour against VfL Bochum on Saturday. The limited minutes that day allowed him to play more Wednesday. Fortunately for Simakan, the tactic was beneficial. He logged an assist of a 77th-minute goal scored by Andre Silva. Simakan has contributed to two goals across his three Champions League games played during 2022.
