Impact Pirani came off the bench during Saturday's win and got involved, finding the back of the net. The attacking midfielder hasn't really lived up to expectations in D.C. but he's still be decently creative when given chances on the pitch. It's unlikely he will establish a starting role in the coming weeks, barring injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. That makes Pirani hard to trust moving forward, though he could have value on any given day he starts.
SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Available off bench Pirani (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Toronto.
Impact Pirani is back on the bench for Saturday's clash with Toronto after training throughout the week. the midfielder was day-to-day with a minor knock, but overcame it and is straight back onto the bench against Toronto.
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
Listed day-to-day Pirani (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day for Saturday's game at Toronto, Steven Goff of The Washington Post reports.
Impact It's unclear what's going on with Pirani, but it seems DC United will wait until the very last minute to see whether the Brazilian will be available or not. He's recorded 25 appearances (eight starts) this season, so even if he's available, it seems he'd be playing off the bench, making his fantasy upside almost minimal.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Scores off the bench against FC Cincinnati Pirani scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss against FC Cincinnati.
Impact Pirani replaced Christopher McVey at halftime and scored in the 69th minute assisted by Martin Rodriguez. Pirani created a chance despite completing four passes. He also recorded a crucial last man tackle. This was his first goal since his goal against Orlando in April.
JULY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Still on bench Pirani registered one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Atlanta United.
Impact Pirani played just nine minutes during Wednesday's loss to Atlanta. The attacking midfielder had his loan to D.C. made permanent during the offseason but he's fallen largely out of favor, only coming off the bench in recent weeks. Pirani's last start came on Apr. 27, and he's showing no signs of pushing his way back into the starting XI.
JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE
Three crosses Saturday Pirani had two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to New York City FC.
Impact Pirani produced three crosses and sent in a pair of shots, but didn't get much done with those chances despite the weak NYC FC defense. The midfielder was brought in to revitalize the D.C. attack, but on the whole Pirani hasn't really done that, especially not since the move was made permanent ahead of the 2024 season.
APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE
Impact substitute appearance Pirani scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Orlando City SC.
Impact Piriani's second half goal Saturday proved insufficient as DC United fell to Orlando FC by a margin of 2-3. The goal was Piriani's first of 2024. After being selected to the starting XI for the first four matches of the season, Piriani has been relegated to substitute duty for DC United's most recent three matches. After scoring once over 10 appearances (eight starts) in 2023, Piriani will have to continue to put forth positive performances to earn his minutes in 2024.
