Wins two tackles in 2-1 victory Marquinhos recorded one shot (zero on goal), two tackles won and five clearances in Sunday's 2-1 win over AJ Auxerre.

Impact Marquinhos yet again offered little going forward but was a rock in the back helping his team hold on to the crucial win. With just two clean sheets in his last 12 matches though his overall fantasy production has been mostly limited.

Extends PSG contract through 2028 Marquinhos has extended his contract with PSG on Friday and is now tied to the club through June of 2028.

Impact Marquinhos has already the third-most appearances of all-time for the Club with over 400 matches across all competitions and has been an integral cog both defensively and offensively. In terms of fantasy he brings a ton of value with his knack for goals and steady defensive numbers and that should remain the case for the foreseeable future.

Holds clean sheet in win Marquinhos held a clean sheet, one aerial won and 75 passes completed in Saturday's 5-0 victory versus Ajaccio. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.

Impact Marquinhos and the PSG back line held first clean sheet in last five matches but only fourth in 2023 as Parisians have been leaky of late. The center-back was behind one of the goal but his shot got deflected in the net by a defender and recorded as own goal. Outside that though he's offered very little offensively of late with his last goal coming all the way back in 2022.

Wins two tackles in 2-1 win Marquinhos recorded two tackles (two won), three aerials won and five clearances in Friday's 2-1 win versus Angers.

Impact Marquinhos had a solid production in the back as Angers pushed hard at the end of the game. The Parisians back line though remains with just two clean sheets in last 16 matches since mid-January which has certainly limited his overall fantasy production.

Wins three aerials in 3-1 win Marquinhos registered one tackle (one won), three aerials won and five clearances in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Lens.

Impact Marquinhos was a rock in the back keeping the in-form Lens at bay and just a spot kick separated him from a shutout win here. The center-back has been productive in defensive peripheral stats but hasn't scored or assisted in 2023 yet while only keeping three clean sheets since the turn of the year.

Keeps clean sheet in win Marquinhos generated one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Nice.

Impact Marquinhos has been struggling with this issue for a couple of games now and will probably need some full rest for more significant time to fully recover.

The defender decided to try and push through to play the match but couldn't make it to half time. Nordi Mukiele is the replacement on the left side of the back-three, and would see more playing time if Marquinhos is sidelined for an extended period of time.

Probable for Le Classique Marquinhos (hamstring) was named in the 20-man squad for Sunday's match versus Marseille.
