Scores beautiful goal Thursday Payet scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 6-1 win against Toulouse.

Impact Payet is one of the best attacking midfielders in the league, and he showed his quality with an impressive goal in the second half, as he took advantage of a low cross from Jonathan Clauss to drill an unstoppable shot into the upper 90. He only has two goals and three assists in the current campaign, but this performance should be a step in the right direction for the veteran and former France international.

Two assists off bench versus Monaco Payet made two assists, sent in six crosses (one accurate) and drew three fouls during Sunday's 3-2 win over Monaco.

Impact Payet was brought in the 62nd minute to replace injured Amine Harit and ended up being instrumental for his side to get a huge come-from-behind win as he assisted two goals between the 83rd minute and stoppage time. With Harit out for the World Cup and probably beyond, Payet will hope this performance helps him to be a regular starter for the second half of the season.

Creates three chances in draw Payet had one shot (off target), three chances created, three crosses (none accurate), two dribbles and four fouls drawn in Saturday's 2-2 draw to Strasbourg.

Impact Payet finally picked up his first start in last five matches after he was getting regular play for a bit just before that. He turned in a decent outing here but the competition is steep, especially now also adding Bamba Dieng with a great display in his first start of the season with all that likely taking Payet back to the bench for the massive clash with Spurs on Tuesday.

Converts PK in 2-1 defeat Payet converted a penalty on two shots (one on target) and hauled in seven crosses (none accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Ajaccio.

Impact Payet was very ineffective with his corners but was clinical from the spot early in the game to put his team ahead. That's finally his first goal of the campaign but with just five starts all season he'll remain limited in long-term formats.

Creates four chances in rout Payet had four chances created, three crosses (none accurate) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 win over Angers.

Impact Payet has now started twice in last three matches and four times in last seven while delivering some decent numbers and is getting closer and closer to his vintage form. The maestro though is still with just one assist and no goals all season.

Quiet in rare start Tuesday Payet had one shot (off target), one chance created and one dribble in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Payet picked up a rare start here but was very invisible drawing an early substitution which could easily see him go back to the bench over the weekend. The maestro is in a major stall for his fantasy season.
