Has quiet game in win De Paul took a shot and made two interceptions in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Rayo Vallecano. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact De Paul wasn't too effective -- going forward, at least -- against Rayo on Tuesday, and he might be dropped from the starting lineup next weekend against Villarreal if Marcos Llorente (undisclosed) is fit enough to play.

Takes three shots off bench De Paul took three shots and created a chance in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Sevilla. He also made an interception and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact De Paul replaced an injured Marcos Llorente just before halftime on Saturday, but he couldn't make the difference against Sevilla. Atletico has one more game Wednesday against 15th-placed Granada, which have conceded 24 goals in 16 matches this season, before the winter break begins.

Scores late goal De Paul scored one goal on his only shot, won four tackles and made three interceptions during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Porto.

Impact De Paul smashed home a late goal to seal the result after a feisty encounter left both teams with red cards. As a mostly-defensive player, De Paul hasn't added a high level of involvement into the attack. This doesn't matter as much when he's putting in the work elsewhere and he's only conceded two yellow cards all season. Up next is the derby against the league's top attack in Real Madrid.

Draws five fouls De Paul drew five fouls and created a chance during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact De Paul did his best to control the midfield and hold onto the ball, but failed to get anything going once his side went down to 10 men. It was a tough performance for everyone on Atleti, but De Paul made the most of it for fantasy managers. He has solid value when in the starting XI, though that has been inconsistent.

Sends in 15 crosses in loss De Paul had one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in 15 crosses (two accurate) and drew four fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Alaves.

Impact De Paul made his third start of the season and was one of the few positives on the offensive end, creating a lot of plays from scratch and sending a whopping 15 crosses into the opposition's box. But, unfortunately for Atletico, his teammates couldn't convert those plays into goals. The playmaker will hope this showing helps him to make his first Champions League start during Tuesday's visit to Milan.

Sends in five crosses as sub De Paul took one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in five crosses (one accurate) and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 2-2 draw to Villarreal.

Impact De Paul played 20 minutes as substitute and was very active on offense, taking four of their 16 corner kicks in the match. The midfielder also picked up his first yellow card of the season in the proccess. He will now look to get the nod when they visit Espanyol on Sep 12.

Logs assist in first start De Paul provided one assist from two chances created in 62 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Elche.

Impact De Paul set up Angel Correa's third goal of the season in the first start of this new Argentine partnership. Without nearly as many crossing chances as he'd gotten at old club Udinese, it's up to De Paul to continue getting involved on the scoresheet in order to maintain his fantasy relevance. Up next is another home game against Villarreal.

Joins Atletico Madrid De Paul joined Atletico Madrid from Udinese on Monday. He's signed a five-year contract with Los Rojiblancos.

Impact De Paul earned this move on the back of impressive scoring numbers and hard work as he scored 33 goals and added 31 assists to go with over 200 total tackles during five seasons in Italy. Over the 2020/21 campaign, De Paul scored nine times and provided nine assists, the latter of which was tied for third-best in Serie A. His profile should fit well with Atleti, which prides itself on its defensive strength but also gets the most out of its central midfielders. If De Paul plays more like Marcos Llorente next season than Saul Niguez, he'll remain a valuable fantasy asset.

Whips 10 crosses in 1-0 loss De Paul produced threes shots (one on target), created one chance, sent 10 crosses (two accurate) and took six corners during the 1-0 loss to Sampdoria on Sunday.

Impact De Paul continued to be the maestro in the midfield. The midfielder was once again the best player for Udinese in their tough loss. De Paul hit double-digits in crosses for the eighth time this season and he remained the sole set-piece taker. Unfortunately his five-game point streak of three goals and four assists did end however. Nevertheless, he is and will remain Udinese's best player as long as he stays at the club. He is averaging, 2.31 shots, 2.31 created chances, 7.28 crosses, 3.14 corners and 1.17 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions this season.
