Impact Buongiorno has recorded six shots (zero accurate) in his last five matches despite playing in a central defensive role. While the defender will primarily rack up defensive stats, he registered 15 clearances, 14 interceptions and 12 tackles (nine won) in those five contests, he should be a target in the box on freekicks and corners.

Available after suspension Buongiorno served his one-match ban and will be available versus Lazio on Saturday.

Impact Buongiorno started just 12 of his 23 appearances for the club last season, in which he recorded two assists, six shots (one on target) and six crosses (one accurate), so he is far from a lock for the starting XI now that his suspension is behind him. Even if the defender does start, his limited offensive upside will likely prevent him from being more than a mid-range fantasy option at best.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss season opener Buongiorno (calf) won four duels, had one clearances, committed two fouls and picked up his fifth yellow card in Friday's 0-3 loss to Roma.

He has alternated with Ricardo Rodriguez during the course of the campaign.

MAY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Napoli game Buongiorno will miss Saturday's match versus Napoli due to a muscular problem, Torino announced.

Impact Buongiorno got hurt in the final practice and will be better assessed in the next few days. Bremer is expected to return to the XI after sitting out the previous game. David Zima and Armando Izzo move up in the pecking order sans Buongiorno.

MAY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Convincing in Inter game Buongiorno took two off-target shots, sent in two crosses (one accurate), created two scoring chances and had three clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Inter.

Impact Buongiorno started over Ricardo Rodriguez for the first time in a month and was surprisingly active in the final third.

Questionable for Udinese tilt Buongiorno picked up a minor thigh injury and is in doubt for Sunday's match versus Udinese, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Buongiorno was poised to return to the XI to replace the suspended Bremer, but he will be a late call. The coach suggested Armando Izzo would get the nod if Buongiorno was not available.

FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in draw Buongiorno provided one assist, created one chance, won two tackles, made four clearances, two interceptions and one block in Thursday's 2-2 draw versus Empoli.

Impact Buongiorno had a good offensive outing as he registered one assist to help his side tie the game. The center-back, however, holds little fantasy value outside of racking up defensive stats and being an aerial threat on set piece situations. He has collected two assists in nine appearances this season.
