Impact Saelemaekers had an outstanding first half as he opened the scoring with a long-range effort in the 12th minute, drew the penalty that led to his team's second goal and even provided significant defensive help. The winger could've left the pitch as the hero as he had a very clear chance to score a game-winner but his shot went wide with the goalkeeper already beaten in the play. Saelemaekers doesn't score or assist in high volume but there are some games where he simply takes over so having him in fantasy teams can definitely be considered a wildcard.
