Neymar - Shines with goal, three assists Neymar scored on two shots (one on target) and hauled in three assists, six chances created, four crosses (all accurate), two dribbles, four fouls drawn and two corners in Saturday...

Impact Neymar was absolutely spectacular in the opener and had a major part in four of the five goals for Parisians. The playmaker had a bit of a down year last time out due to injuries but if he can stay healthy and sustain that type of form he'll be clearly one of the top fantasy option in the whole league.

Lionel Messi - Fires in brace, assist in 5-0 rout Messi scored twice on six shots (four on target) and tallied one assist, four chances created, four crosses (three accurate), six dribbles and four corners in Saturday's 5-0 win ov...

Impact Messi turned in a brilliant game and seemed completely rejuvenated from last season. It's only week one but Parisians already look much stronger and we could be seeing the true power and creativity of the maestro this campaign.

Pablo Sarabia - Quiet in thrashing win Sarabia completed 22 passes in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Sarabia made a great play for the opener early in the match and almost set up the goal. He offered very little after that though and his stat line very poor. The potential return of Kylian Mbappe next week could also send the winger back to the bench.

Marco Verratti - Logs three dribbles in thumping win Verratti had three dribbles, four tackles, team-high 88 passes completed and two fouls drawn in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Verratti had a solid day in the middle of the park but with plenty of creative cogs around him he offered little that was fantasy worthy. The midfielder had two goals and two assists last term though and still offers a decent upside.

Leandro Paredes - Assists off bench in opener Paredes tallied one assist in 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Paredes gets on the board immediately with his first major contribution of the season. The arrivals of Vitinha and Renato Sanches though are expected to seriously cut into his playing time and it'll be hard to trust him to continue on that streak.

Achraf Hakimi - Shines with goal, clean sheet Hakimi scored on his lone shot, held a clean sheet and hauled in two chances created, two accurate crosses and two tackles (both won) in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Hakimi is off to a brilliant start after getting early on the score sheet with a fantastic finish following his terrific run on the right flank. He's been on the front foot all game long and starts the season in a similar fashion as last term when he fired in three goals and two assists over his first seven starts alone.

Nuno Mendes - Begins season with clean sheet Mendes had a clean sheet, two shots (both on target) and two fouls drawn in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Mendes was solid in the opener and played actually much better than what his stat sheet shows for. He only had one assist with no goals all of last season though and his offensive upside looks to be a bit limited though he should still be able to produce a ton of fantasy numbers in other categories. Juan Bernat will likely eat into his playing time if healthy.

Marquinhos - Heads home one in shutout win Marquinhos held a clean sheet and scored a goal on two shots (both on target) in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Marquinhos had little work defensively and that probably allowed him to get his looks up front and he was clinical with them almost getting a brace in his season debut. Parisians look very strong and a massive season could be ahead of him.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Commits four fouls in shutout win Kimpembe had a clean sheet, one shot (off target), three interceptions and four fouls committed in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Kimpembe was solid in the back and made no mistakes in the little work he had to get off to a fantastic start of the campaign. Parisians look much stronger defensively at this point and a big season could be ahead of him.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Ramos - Keeps clean sheet for win Ramos had a clean sheet, one shot on target and two aerials won in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Ramos had a golden opportunity to get on the score sheet right off the gate but will have to wait for that a bit more. He was a bit quiet outside of that with Parisians dominating the game but a clean sheet is still a solid accomplishment in the early stages of the season.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Holds clean sheet in season debut Donnarumma made one save en route to a clean sheet in Saturday's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot.

Impact Donnarumma gets the first crack at the starting role and given expectation that there will be no more rotation between him and Keylor Navas that could mean a big season is ahead of the former. He's already on the board with a clean sheet and many more could follow.

Kylian Mbappe - Avoids serious injury Mbappe (groin) has avoided a serious issue and should be available next week versus Montpellier, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Mbappe was a late scratch this weekend but his absence has been mostly a precaution rather than something serious and he'll be expected back as soon as next weekend with this news coming directly from coach Christophe Galtier. Given the early stages of the campaign and very successful start of it the starlet could also be limited in his return and if he gets eased off the bench Pablo Sarabia could enjoy another start on the wing.

Mauro Icardi - Out for season opener Icardi is not in PSG's match day squad for Saturday's clash against Clermont Foot due to personal reasons, RMC Sport radio reported before the game.

Impact Icardi only started 10 Ligue 1 matches last season for PSG, and his role in the team this campaign isn't likely to get any bigger if he indeed does stay in Paris. He won't be involved in Saturday's season opener even from the bench.

Idrissa Gueye - Sent to reserve team Gueye has been sent to the reserve team and will likely be on the way out of the club, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Gueye missed Friday's training of the first-team squad as he was sent to the reserves of the club to join the other few players that would be allowed to look for new clubs this Summer. The arrival of Renato Sanches turns the former into a surplus for the coach Christophe Galtier and Gueye may have already played his final game for Parisians. His fantasy value at the moment is very diminished.

Kylian Mbappe - Out for season opener Mbappe will miss Saturday's season-opening match against Clermont Foot due to an issue with his adductor. He will undergo further tests in three days.

Impact Mbappe had completed a suspension to be available for this game but a new issue will prevent his participation. In his absence, the attacking burden will fall to Lionel Messi and Neymar, which can't be considered a drop in talent but does change their responsibilities. This should land Pablo Sarabia in the starting lineup for the opener unless an early chance is given to Hugo Ekitike or Vitinha.
