Impact Caci set up Mainz's third goal to close out the scoring with a perfect cross from a volley that was nodded home by Jae-Sung Lee. Caci plays a big role in Mainz's lineup due to his two-way talent, and he'll remain valuable in most fantasy formats as long as he remains this involved in the attacking end.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Logs assist, seven tackles in win Caci assisted on Mainz's first goal in a 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund. He also made seven tackles and had eight crosses.
Impact Though Caci's crosses weren't too dangerous (one accurate cross), he did find Lee Jae-Sung for the game's opening goal. It's his first assist of the season, and he may become more involved in the attack as a result after the international break.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Continues efficiency Caci recorded one shot (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus SC Freiburg.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Creative in loss Caci registered two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig.
Impact Caci was the main creative outlet during Saturday's loss. It was a surprising turn, as the usually defensively-minded Caci instead got forward and created three chances. It's unlikely he continues that attacking volume, moving forward, but this was an encouraging performance against a top opponent.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Caci was once again a great source of playmaking from the right flank and had his second consecutive match with an assist, this time setting up Jonathan Burkardt for the goal that set the final score at 1-1. After being deployed at several positions throughout the campaign, it looks like Caci found his best form as a wing-back, so he should be expected to remain there for the upcoming games.
APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE
Shown fifth yellow card Caci was shown his fifth yellow card of the season during Friday's 2-1 loss to Leverkusen.
Impact Caci was shown the card in the 66th minute and will be suspended for next week's match against Monchengladbach.

In contention versus Dortmund Caci (abdomen) could be ready to play in Tuesday's clash with Borussia Dortmund after manager Jan Siewert told reporters, "With Anthony Caci, there's a possibility that he returns....
Impact Caci has been out of action for just one match and could at least be in the mix for a spot on the bench Tuesday despite the quick turnaround. When healthy, Caci has been a mainstay in the starting XI and figures to remain a fixture on the pitch for the club even once given the all-clear.

Strong multi-role season Caci logged two goals, one assist, 21 chances created and 54 interceptions across his 31 appearances of FSV Mainz 05's 2022-23 season.
Impact Caci began the 2022-23 Bundesliga mostly serving as a central defender of FSV Mainz 05's regularly-used three-defender formation. But after the team signed Andreas Hanche-Olsen in January, Caci's role seemed to be in jeopardy. Instead, Caci was pushed to the flanks and became a regular wide midfielder. For now, it appears Caci's role is preserved, though another acquisition could force him out completely.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Caci started for the first time of the season as a left wing-back and had a great two-way performance, assisting Lee Jae-Sung's opener in the first minute of the game and putting up great numbers across the board. It's not like he wasn't playing well as a center-back but it looks like Caci will have a new position moving forward.
JANUARY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Busy defensively Caci recorded one tackle (one won), four clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart.
Impact Caci had plenty to do behind the ball and did well to pile on some strong defensive volume. The defender has limited upside but has seen a consistent rise in playing time heading into the second half of the season. Opening the 2023 campaign with a start is a good sign that will continue moving forward.
JANUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Busy in loss Caci had three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus FC Schalke 04.
Impact Caci had plenty to do on both sides of the ball Wednesday, creating two chances while also making five interceptions. The center-back has earned a nailed-on role, especially as Alexander Hack falls out of favor with Bo Svensson. Caci will continue in his starting role heading into the international break, and has a good chance to open the second half as a consistent starter.
NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Creates two chances Caci had three crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 6-2 loss against Bayern Munich.
Impact Caci was one of the most creative players on the pitch for Mainz on Saturday, though that ended up with just two crosses. Interestingly the center-back was on corner duty in the second half, a role that could give him some unique upside if he eats into Aaron's role there. Caci has made starts in four of the last five with Maxim Leitsch out, though his role is likely to be reduced to the bench when Leitsch returns.
