Ousmane Dembele - Logs assist in loss Dembele made an assist, had two off-target shots, created four chances, sent in seven inaccurate crosses and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League loss against A...

Impact Dembele was one of the best men on the pitch despite being on the losing side as he displayed a lot of skill to create for teammates as usual and had a decisive contribution in the 14th minute as he stole the ball from a defender and just served Warren Zaire-Emery for the opening goal of the game. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet of the season for Dembele in European competition but his numbers from Ligue 1 (five goals, five assists over nine appearances) are a strong indicative of the forward's ability to easily get more production.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Concedes two in loss Donnarumma made one save and conceded two goals during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Donnarumma had a nightmare day for fantasy purposes as he was beaten once each half, with the second one being deep into second-half's stoppage time for the goal that guaranteed the opposition the win. With just clean sheets this season and multiple goals allowed in three of the last six matches in all competitions, the goalkeeper has been really disappointing compared to previous years..

Warren Zaire-Emery - Scores in UCL loss Zaire-Emery scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and made one interception during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Zaire-Emery scored for the first time since August as he displayed a lot of class to beat the goalkeeper after Ousmane Dembele stole the ball from an opposing defender inside the box and assisted him in the 14th minute. The wonderkid couldn't add anything substantial after the goal, though, and that led him to be subbed off during the final frame. Zaire-Emery can't really contribute consistently in any statistical category so he'll depend on either goals or assists to start deserving significant fantasy consideration.

Impact Barcola set up the lone goal of Saturday's match as he assisted Ousmane Dembele's goal in the 4th minute.

Matvey Safonov - Keeps clean sheet Saturday Safonov had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Lens.

It marked his second clean sheet in his four starts. With a midweek Champions League match, Safonov could start Saturday's Ligue 1 match at Angers, a side which has scored 11 goals through 10 league matches this season.

Desire Doue - Four shots, two on goal Doue registered four shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-0 win over Marseille.

Impact This season, Doue has been occasionally able to stir up multiple shots on goal during his limited appearances. Sunday marked the third time such has happened this season. Doue will enter November with 16 shots (seven on goal) across six appearances (two starts).

Achraf Hakimi - Four crosses, three accurate Hakimi had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win against Marseille.

Impact Hakimi logging more than three crosses may not be astonishing, but him getting multiple of them accurate is a welcome surprise. Sunday marked the right-back's first game with multiple accurate crosses since Aug. 23. That was the only other time Hakimi achieved such a feat this season, and he logged two accurate crosses that August matchup, making his latest tally a season high.

Ousmane Dembele - Records assist Dembele assisted once to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-0 win over Marseille.

Impact Dembele logged the assist to Paris Saint-Germain's third goal, scored by Bradley Barcola. In domestic-league action, he has been amazing, logging a goal or an assist during each of his last five appearances. They include three goals and three assists from Dembele's end.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Bradley Barcola - Scores again Barcola scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Marseille.

Impact Barcola will finish his October with two goals and one assist across three appearances. The 2024-25 Ligue 1 has been smooth sailing for Barcola, who has eight goals and that aforementioned assist in nine games this season, really stepping up in league action as Paris Saint-Germain's team attempts to continue to adapt without Kylian Mbappe.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Logs one-save clean sheet Donnarumma recorded one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Marseille.

Randal Kolo Muani - On bench Sunday Kolo Muani (ankle) is on the bench for the weekend visit to Marseille.

Impact Kolo Muani has been included in the match squad following his recovery from a sprained ankle. However, he's likely to play only a few minutes in case the team requires a natural center-forward at some point of the match.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Two saves for draw Donnarumma registered two saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus PSV Eindhoven.

Impact Donnarumma was beaten early by Noa Lang, but regained his composure and was solid the rest of the way. As always he didn't have much work to do, as the team in front of him was largely suffocating. Donnarumma has solid clean sheet chances, but his upside is capped as he very rarely faces too many shots.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Marquinhos - Decent in start Marquinhos had one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus PSV Eindhoven.

Impact Marquinhos had a quiet day defensively as PSV hardly troubled his defensive unit. He did get forward occasionally and created a chance while taking a shot as well, though he didn't find any goal contributions. Marquinhos is a veteran defender who offers plenty of solidity to the backline, but he's not going to fill the stat sheet on either side of the ball.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembele - Six shots in draw Dembele generated six shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven.

Impact Dembele peppered the net, sending in six shots, but struggled to find the back of the net. The winger has been solid, but his end product has been lacking, especially as he's been asked to take on a larger role following the departure of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar. Dembele will continue to have plenty of volume in all competitions in a dominant PSG side.
