Impact De Ligt could be making his return from his illness this week although that is still up in the air, as he is still dealing with some of the issues of his illness. That said, his status likely won't be known until game time, as the club will give him time to recover. If fit, he will hope to see the start immediately, starting in 17 of his 20 appearances this campaign.

Defensively, the center-back didn't need to do much, but the clean sheet definitely gave him a huge boost for fantasy purposes. A starter in each of the last three league games, De Ligt looks to have his starting spot already locked up for the most important games.

Makes first start De Ligt registered one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.

Impact De Ligt got the start alongside Lisandro Martinez, and had some decent moments, but was largely picked apart by the Liverpool attack.
