Roma’s current and former American owners and Lazio president Claudio Lotito are among numerous officials at the two clubs being investigated by Italian authorities for false accou...APRIL 6, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lorenzo Pellegrini - Puts up strong numbers in win Pellegrini had three shots (one on target), created four chances, sent in five crosses (two accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Pellegrini bounced back from the atypical performance he had against Lazio, being way more active on the attacking end, both finishing plays and creating for teammates. The captain looks to have left behind the head injury suffered a pair of weeks ago and is a must-have fantasy pick regardless of the opponent. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Torino.

Rui Patricio - Keeps clean sheet against Sampdoria Patricio made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Patricio had to work very little here as his side dominated wire-to-wire, especially after the opposition started to play with one man down during the second half. Anyway, the goalkeeper displayed his usual safety between the sticks in all shots he faced to keep his sixth clean sheet over the last 10 Serie A starts. Patricio will try to keep up with the strong play during Saturday's visit to Torino.

Ola Solbakken - Assists off bench versus Sampdoria Solbakken made an assist after coming off the bench during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Solbakken was brought in the 80th minute to replace Lorenzo Pellegrini and still found time to contribute, brilliantly assisting Stephan El Shaarawy for the goal that sealed the 3-0 win deep into stoppage time. This was the first career Serie A assist for the attacker, who will hope to keep getting playing time during upcoming games.

Stephan El Shaarawy - Scores in win over Sampdoria El Shaarawy scored a goal off four shots (three on target) and created one chance during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria
Impact El Shaarawy returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench on the previous two games. And the striker made most of the opportunity, playing well and sealing the 3-0 win with a beautiful one-timed shot that went into the far post deep into second half's stoppage time. With two goals and one assist over his last three starts, El Shaarawy keeps giving reasons to remain in the lineup when given the chance to play from the opening whistle.

Paulo Dybala - Converts PK against Sampdoria Dybala scored a penalty goal, had seven shots (one on target), created eight chances, sent in seven crosses (six accurate) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria...
Impact Dybala was constant threat here, putting up season-highs in both shots attempted and chances created and, if he couldn't find the target from open play, the story was different from the penalty spot as he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way in the 88th minute to double his side's lead. With 10 goals and six over 21 Serie A appearances this season, the attacker already surpassed last campaign's production and will now try to add to his numbers during Saturday's visit to Torino.

Nemanja Matic - Logs assist versus Sampdoria Matic provided an assist, created three chances and made two tackles and two interceptions during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Matic was solid as usual defensively but this time his biggest contributions came on the attacking end, with him being heavily involved on the build-up of plays and assisting Georginio Wijnaldum's opener with a perfect cross from the left in the 57th minute. This is just the second assists of the season for the holding midfielder, who mostly relies on peripheral numbers to be productive for fantasy purposes.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Georginio Wijnaldum - Scores opener, draws PK in win Wijnaldum scored a goal off four shots (one on target), created two chances and drew a penalty during Sunday's 3-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Wijnaldum had another great performance, especially on the offensive end. The midfielder had already struck the post during the first half and, then, in the 57th minute, appeared completely unmarked inside the six-yard box to head home a cross from the left and open the scoring for Roma. He also helped his side to double the lead later, suffering the penalty converted by Paulo Dybala. With two goals over the last four starts, Wijnaldum looks finally free from the injuries and is starting to meet the huge expectations surrounding his signing.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Sends two crosses in loss Pellegrini recorded one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Lazio. He also created three chances.
Impact Pellegrini did a little bit of everything Sunday and was active on both ends of the pitch, but his efforts were not enough to avoid the loss in the Rome derby. Pellegrini can provide a spark out of nowhere and plays a key role for Roma, but he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. He hasn't recorded a goal or an assist since Jan. 8 -- a span of 11 appearances across all competitions.

Tammy Abraham - Disallowed goal in derby loss Abraham generated one clearance and also had a disallowed goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Lazio.
Impact Abraham scored the equalizer in the second half, but his goal was ruled out due to an apparent offside on the play. The Englishman is on a cold streak and has now reached 10 games without a goal across all competitions.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Georginio Wijnaldum - Limited impact against Lazio Wijnaldum registered two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lazio.
Impact The Dutchman has started in each of Roma's last four league games, but he has racked up just one goal, nine shots and one chance created in that match. Due to his hybrid role as a central midfielder who doesn't contribute heavily to the attack, Wijnaldum doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Patricio - Concedes once Sunday Rui Patricio had four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Lazio.
Impact Rui Patricio and Roma have been struggling defensively of late, and the team has lost three of their last four Serie A matches. Despite the defensive woes, Rui Patricio's role as the starting goalkeeper is not under threat, and he should remain in the XI when Roma take on Sampdoria on April 2 once the league resumes following the international break.

Rick Karsdorp - Undergoes knee surgery Karsdorp went under the knife to repair a torn meniscus in the left knee, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Impact Karsdorp is set to be out for about two months, and therefore he'll have a tough time coming back this season, but his timetable will be clearer once he'll resume practicing in a couple of weeks. Zeki Celik will absorb his minutes on the right flank behind Nicola Zalewski.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ola Solbakken - Plays little againt Lazio Solbakken (thigh) had one interception and one pass in six minutes in Sunday's 0-1 defeat versus Lazio.
Impact Solbakken returned from a four-game absence but didn't see much action as Roma had primarily a defensive game plan after an early red card. He has scored once and added four shots (one on target), three accurate crosses, and two corners in six Serie A appearances.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nemanja Matic - Comes off the bench versus Lazio Matic (illness) had 17 passes in 24 minutes in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Lazio.
Impact Matic didn't get the start and didn't log any start after subbing in, as he was perhaps still affected by a stomach bug. He has posted three chances created, three crosses (two accurate), five tackles (all won), and five interceptions in his last fie appearances (three starts).
