Creates five chances in win Depay created five chances from 11 crosses (four accurate) during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev.

Impact Depay tied his season-high for chances created and set a new record for crosses in a single match during Wednesday's victory. Though he still just has two assists to his name across league and UCL matches, Depay has a solid scoring floor for fantasy as the regular set piece taker for his club. Up next is El Clasico against Real Madrid, and Depay's current form makes him one to follow.

Scores penalty, assists in win Depay scored one penalty goal from three shots (one on goal) and provided one assist from two chances created during Sunday's 3-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Depay was one of the highlights of the night as he set up Ansu Fati's opener then helped take the lead from the penalty spot. With the third-most crosses in the league, and third-most shots taken, Depay's value should continue to be high, even if he doesn't score during every match. Up next are two major matches against Dynamo Kiev in the UCL and El Clasico against Real Madrid, which are both shaping up to be important matches at this point in the season.

Creates three chances Depay created three chances during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Atleti.

Creates two chances in loss Depay took a shot and created two chances in Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League defeat against Benfica.

Impact Depay didn't do enough going forward on Wednesday as his side suffered an embarrassing loss to Benfica. The upcoming doubleheader against Dynamo Kiev in the next two Champions League are both must-win games, but first up is a return to La Liga Sunday against defending champions Atletico, which have conceded six goals in seven matches this season.

Back in the goals Depay scored once on six shots (five on goal) during Sunday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Depay scored his third goal of the season, and it's been coming. The forward has been in feisty form of late, creating 10 chances in his last three games and taking 13 shots in that span. Depay has become more than stop-gap striker and is truly leading the line, he will likely be in the starting XI on Wednesday, away to Benfica.

Three shots in draw Depay shot three times (two on goal), and created two chances during Thursday's 0-0 draw with Cadiz.

Impact Depay was solid in his sixth straight start and really should have gotten on the score sheet. He just couldn't beat the Cadiz defense and brought his streak up to three matches without scoring. He will look to turn that around Sunday, against Levante.

Busy in draw Depay took four shots (one on goal) and created five chances from 16 crosses (eight accurate) during Monday's 1-1 draw with Granada.

Impact Depay and Sergino Dest both logged 16 crosses apiece in this game but neither were able to get a goal or assist. With these impressive production numbers, it's important that Depay starts to finish off some of his chances, as some elaborate bicycle attempts weren't necessarily needed. Up next is a trip to Cadiz, which conceded eight goals through their first five matches.

Shotless in loss Depay created one chance from four crosses (one accurate) during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Depay faced the first defense he couldn't breach since joining Barcelona as he and his teammates were even outmatched in keeping possession at home. While the result certainly didn't go well, he has plenty of time to turn things around in the next match against Granada as Philippe Coutinho could bolster the attack in his return.

Scores first Barca goal Depay scored one goal from three shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Athletic Club.

As the focal point to the attack, Depay looks more than happy to play as he pleases and it's made him a prominent member of the lineup through two games. He'll next face a tough Getafe defense, but Depay should still have plenty of chances through his own team's control of possession.
