Assists in opening goal Bastoni assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Torino.
Impact Bastoni was credited with the assist in the season opener with a through ball that allowed Nicola Zalewski to break the deadlock inside the first 15 minutes. Bastoni is far from being a playmaker out of the back, though, and he should continue to earn most of his fantasy value through defensive stats.

Impact Bastoni was busier than usual on offense, leading his side in deliveries and starting the action that led to the second goal with a through ball for Carlos Augusto but had to sub off midway through the second half due to a muscular ailment. He'll have to be evaluated ahead of Sunday's game versus Juventus.

The same goes for Stefan de Vrij and Nicola Zalewski.
