Suspended for Roma clash Koopmeiners recorded one off-target shot and one clearance and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 win over Roma.

Impact Koopmeiners wasn't particularly active on either end and will have to miss Saturday's game versus Roma due to yellow-card accumulation. Gleison Bremer or Juan Cabal will replace him in the back. The former would be the top choice if able to start after recently returning from a knee issue.

Takes three shots in Pafos game Koopmeiners won three of four tackles and generated three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Pafos.

Impact Koopmeiners starred as a central midfielder after halftime, which boosted his output in the final third, although he couldn't find the target from good positions a couple of times. His role might change permanently once defenders Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani, who were available for this one, are ready to start. He has tallied at least one clearance in the last six fixtures, totaling 20 and logging seven shots (two on target), seven chances created and nine tackles (five won) in that span, with two clean sheets.

Under pressure in Napoli bout Koopmeiners drew two fouls and registered one tackle (zero won), five clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Napoli.

Impact Koopmeiners faced the difficult challenge of trying to guard David Neres and had trouble doing so more than a few times, even though he still racked up stats in the back. He'll likely keep playing as a defender until Gleison Bremer (knee) returns. He has tallied at least one clearance in five matches in a row, amassing 18 and logging five tackles (two won), five key passes and five interceptions over that span, with one clean sheet.

Pretty good against Cagliari Koopmeiners won one of two tackles and had two shots (zero on goal), two interceptions and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Cagliari.

Impact Koopmeiners continues to hold his own as a center-back but also serves as a secondary threat on offense and could have scored in this one with a strike from the edge of the box had he had better aim. He'll look to continue fending off the competition in the next few games. He has notched at least one clearance in the last four matches, accumulating 13 and adding four tackles (two won), three interceptions and five chances created, with one clean sheet.

Posts four clearances against Torino Koopmeiners had three crosses (one accurate), three crosses (one accurate), one block and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Torino.

Impact Koopmeiners played as a center-back for the third game in a row with Gleison Bremer (knee) and Lloyd Kelly (back/thigh) both sidelined, holding his one and also occasionally pushing forward. He'll likely return to the midfield once the backline is in better shape. He has notched one or more crosses in three consecutive bouts, totaling five (two accurate) and logging two chances created, two tackels (one won) and six clearances, with one clean sheet.

Impact Koopmeiners resumed starting thanks to a tactical adjustment and had more freedom in the final third than usual, pacing his side in attempts and recording a new season high, but he was never particularly menacing.

He has created one or more chances in his last six showings (five starts), totaling nine and adding 10 shots (three on target), 14 corners and 10 tackles (two won). He failed to launch a single cross after five matches.

Solid against Atalanta Koopmeiners created four scoring chances and registered three shots (two on goal), seven crosses (five accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atalanta.

Impact Koopmeiners started in the midfield for the third time over the last four matches and was a lot more productive than in his previous showings, padding his stats thanks to several accurate set pieces and notching new season highs in multiple categories.

He has tallied multiple key passes and crosses in the last four matches, recording seven and 17 (eight accurate) respectively and posting five shots (two on target) and 13 corners.

In 67 minutes played, he created zero chances, failed to complete his only dribble attempt, put his only cross off target, and had just four touches in the opposition's box. The goal will be a welcome sight for the Dutch international who had not scored in any competition since March 3, but he will be looking for a more well-rounded performance against Parma on Saturday.
