On bench Tuesday Gueye (rest) was named to the match-day squad versus Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Impact Gueye last played for PSG on Dec. 22, missing the last five matches while on international duty with Senegal. Barring any setbacks, Gueye should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI but figures to be a mid-range fantasy option at best given his limited offensive upside.

Still out after AFCON Gueye (international duty) is scheduled to return to training Friday and won't be available for Friday's match versus Rennes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Gueye has apparently been given an extended rest after a tough AFCON campaign and will have to wait for his official return a few more days. He should be full go for next week's massive UCL clash versus Real Madrid. Leandro Paredes and Ander Herrera are also missing and Georginio Wijnaldum is only just returning from his issue and Danilo and Julian Draxler could be up for starts in the middle of the park.

Returns from AFCON Gueye (international duty) will be available for Friday's match versus Rennes after finishing his campaign with Senegal at AFCON.

Impact Gueye will return on a very high note after winning AFCON with his national team but that could also see him on the bench versus Rennes as Parisians could let him rest over the weekend. If that happens Leandro Paredes and Danilo could get starts in midfield.

Departs with Senegal for AFCON Gueye has joined up with the Senegal National Team to compete in the African Cup of Nations and will miss his club's next three matches.

Impact Gueye has started 17 games this season in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, but PSG will have to make do without the midfielder for a few weeks while he joins up with his national team. Ander Herrera and Danilo Pereira could see an uptick in playing time until he returns.

Takes two shots versus Lorient Gueye had two shots (off target), three aerials won and five tackles (four won) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw to Lorient.

Impact Gueye had a solid display in the middle of the park with contributions on both sides of the ball. He's now taken five shots over his past four starts but none of them on target and hasn't scored since September. He's racked up 10 tackles and four fouls drawn over his past three matches in other departments.

Earns caution in win over Monaco Gueye had two tackles (one won), two blocked shots, two fouls drawn and a yellow card in Sunday's 2-0 win over Monaco.

Impact Gueye remains scoreless now since September but has been knocking on the door with four shots and five chances created over his previous four appearances (three starts). He also continues to contribute with steady defensive numbers.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots versus Nice Gueye had two shots (off target), two tackles and 57 passes completed in Wednesday's 0-0 draw to Nice.

Impact Gueye had some more offensive looks and seems to have found his creative mojo yet again after mounting three shots and three chances created over his past two starts alone. The holding midfielder started the campaign with four goals in six matches so he clearly could hold an enormous upside.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Creates three chances in 3-1 win Gueye had one shot (off target), three chances created, three dribbles and three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 3-1 win over St. Etienne.

Impact Gueye had his most creative outing in quite some time as he tied his season high in chances created, with three after getting his only other such outing in early September. He's been quiet offensively though of late with nine straight appearances without a goal or an assist after starting the season with four goals in six matches.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Saint-Etienne Gueye has been selected in the XI to face Saint-Etienne Sunday.

Impact Gueye was in doubt for the game but he will play through a muscular ailment. He has logged two chances created, eight successful tackles and five clearances over the last five matches.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for St. Etienne match Gueye has been diagnosed with a muscle discomfort and is questionable for Sunday's match versus St. Etienne, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Gueye was replaced in the second half Wednesday versus City after feeling some pain in his leg. The initial tests however are very positive and came back negative for any serious damage and with a good recovery over the next few days he has a good chance to suit up as soon as Sunday again. Rafinha, Julian Draxler, Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti are out for longer periods and that could mean more playing time for Danilo over the next few weeks. Angel Di Maria could also see more playing time in central midfield.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Wins three tackles in win Gueye had one chance created, six tackles (three won), three dispossessions and 77 passes completed in Saturday's 3-1 win over Nantes.

Impact Gueye was yet again focused mostly on defensive duties and remains very quiet on the offensive front in seven consecutive outings now. The four goals from his first six matches seem ages away now though the upside is there should he turns his groove on.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays off bench Saturday Gueye played 15 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 3-2 win over Bordeaux.

Impact Gueye was rested here as some rotations were in place in other positions as well. The midfielder started the season with four goals in six starts but hasn't had anything offensively in six consecutive appearances (four starts) now.

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Wins two aerials versus RB Leipzig Gueye had two aerials won, three tackles (two won) and three interceptions in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to RB Leipzig.

Impact Parisians were mostly on the back foot this game and Gueye didn't have many offensive looks. He's cooled off significantly of late and after bagging four scores in his first six matches, he's now barely had anything going offensively over his last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Wins three tackles versus Lille Gueye had one shot (off target), one chance created and three tackles (all won) in Friday's 2-1 win over Lille.

Impact As expected Gueye returned to the starting XI with a very solid performance here. With Marco Verratti sidelined recently and Leandro Paredes still out there's gonna be plenty of playing time for Gueye over the next few weeks.

OCTOBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays off bench versus Marseille Gueye played 45 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 0-0 draw to Marseille.

Impact Despite a solid 45-minute shift Gueye turned in almost nothing in terms of stats and has been in a bit of a decline in fantasy of late. He started the season on fire though scoring four times in six matches so don't give up hope on him. He should get the start Friday versus Lille.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Earns caution versus RB Leipzig Gueye had two tackles (one won), four dispossessions and a yellow card in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.

Impact Gueye had a rough outing here and was far off his best. He mostly made woeful plays including a very unnecessary foul for a caution and that was the reason for his early replacement. The midfielder though is off to a fiery start of the campaign with four goals already in just eight starts and should be back in form soon.

OCTOBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Goes unused in win Friday Gueye was an unused sub in Friday's 2-1 win over Angers.

Impact Gueye apparently wasn't fit enough for a start here after returning from international duty but that would set him up to get the nod midweek in the UCL clash with RB Leipzig. He's been a revelation thus far scoring four times already in merely seven starts while taking at least one shot in six of those affairs.

OCTOBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes one shot versus Rennes Gueye had one shot (off target), one dribble and 47 passes completed in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Rennes.

Impact Gueye was quiet in this one and snapped his scoring run. He barely produced any numbers including in peripheral stats but with four goals already in just seven starts he'll continue to hold a great upside for the time being given how much braver he's been this season with his opportunities in front of goal.

OCTOBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again in win over City Gueye scored on his lone shot and hauled in two fouls drawn, team-high 44 passes completed and five tackles (three won) in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Manchester City.

Impact Ooops! Gueye did it again! The holding midfielder continues to kick butts and take names in front of opponents' goals with his fourth goal across all competitions this season after scoring in second consecutive affair. He's already matched his career-most goals in a season and after merely six starts. He's also matched his total numbers of goals between clubs and country from the previous three seasons.
