Four crosses in win Gimenez sent in four crosses (none accurate) during Sunday's 2-1 win over NYRB.
Impact Gimenez had plenty of chances Sunday, but failed to put any of them in a dangerous position. The midfielder has had a quiet season, but his value on defense has made him a consistent fantasy performer. Gimenez will be tested Sunday, at home against Columbus.

Makes five tackles in draw Gimenez sent in three crosses (one accurate) and made five tackles (all won), two interceptions and two blocks during Wednesday's scoreless draw against New York City FC.
Impact Gimenez had a great showing ahead of the defensive line, winning all his team-leading five tackles and being a huge factor to prevent the opposition from having too many clear chances to score. With four chances created, five crosses, nine tackles and seven interceptions over his last three starts, the midfielder will try to remain productive during Sunday's home match against New York Red Bulls.

Opens season scoring Gimenez scored once on his only shot on goal during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with D.C. United.
Impact Gimenez scored his first goal for Chicago across two seasons during his seventh start of the season. The midfielder isn't likely to become a big goal-scorer, and is at home at the base of Chicago's midfield. If he keeps playing a more advanced role he could get back in the goals Saturday, against a weaker Toronto FC side.

Available Wednesday Gimenez (intl duty) is available for Wednesday's match against Orlando City after returning from the Copa America, according to Patrick McCraney of Hot Time in Old Town.
Impact Gimenez started six of the first seven games as a defensive midfielder but it's not clear if he's ready to start at club level after playing in a busy continental tournament. Recently, the Fire have been utilizing a formation that doesn't even play any holding midfielders, so the return of Gimenez may bump someone with more attacking value off the pitch, though he also takes on a helpful role with set pieces to generate a solid scoring floor.

Out on international duty Gimenez is away on international duty playing for Paraguay in Copa America.
Impact Gimenez will be out at least the next two weeks while playing for Paraguay and possibly more, depending if they advance or not. It's an unfortunate absence that will likely push Mauricio Pineda back into the starting XI for Chicago as a defensive midfielder.

Makes six tackles in 1-0 loss Gimenez produced one shot (one on target), created one chance, sent two crosses (one accurate), took two corners and made six tackles (four won) during the 1-0 loss to Montreal on...
Impact Gimenez was more efficient off the ball, than on in the loss. The midfielder had less of a role on offense in his return. However, he still managed to produce tackles with ease and his success rate was over 50 percent. He also continued to have a role on set-pieces, but it is not enough to alter his value one way or the other. If fantasy owners need a defensive midfielder with a spark of offense, Gimenez is a fantastic option.
