Raoul Bellanova - Creates two chances in Parma tilt Bellanova recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate), two key passes and four clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Parma.

Impact Bellanova wasn't as involved and dynamic offensively as in the opener but was still a fairly sizeable presence on the wing and managed to put up stats across the board. He has recorded four shots (one on target), five key passes, 19 crosses (five accurate) and four tackles in two appearances.

Marten De Roon - Wins four tackles versus Parma De Roon had seven clearances, two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created and won four of seven tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Parma.

Impact De Roon was particularly active and on point defensively but also occasionally made his presence felt on the other end. He has had a well-rounded start, tallying three shots (zero on target), three key passes, seven tackels and 12 clearances in two fixtures.

Gianluca Scamacca - Fires two shots in Parma game Scamacca generated two shots (zero on goal) and one interception and committed one foul in 64 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Parma.

Impact Scamacca was more muted than last week and made way for Nenad Krstovic earlier. The two center-forwards will likely rotate once the Champions League starts, as the coach prefers using just one at a time. He has notched nine shots (four on target) and one key pass so far.

Nikola Krstovic - Picks up assist against Atalanta Krstovic won one of one tackle and assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in 26 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Parma.

Impact Krstovic relieved Gianluca Scamacca midway through the second half and perfectly teed up the trailing Mario Pasalic with a backward pass on his team's lone goal. He'll likely get some opportunities from the start once the Champions League begins. He didn't put up stats in his cameo in the opener.

Mario Pasalic - Scores in Parma game Pasalic scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target), three clearances and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Parma.

Impact Pasalic broke the deadlock late in the second half with a surgical daisy-cutter from the edge of the box, solving a scrum following a set piece. He has made the stat sheet in back-to-back tilts since he had an assist in the opener. He might lose minutes once Ederson (knee) is healthy, but he can play in a few different roles. He has registered three shots (two assists), four key passes and six clearances in two fixtures.

Marco Carnesecchi - Concedes once versus Parma Carnesecchi recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Parma.

Impact Carnesecchi had a pair of strong interventions on long-range shots but wasn't spotless on the opponents' equalizer, as he rejected a header too centrally, and Patrick Cutrone pounced on it for a tap-in. He has given up two goals and made four saves through two rounds. Atalanta will face Lecce at home on September 14.

Ederson - Will sit out Parma fixture Ederson won't be an option for Saturday's game versus Parma because he's in Roma to take tests due to a knee injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Ederson has been dealing with the issue for a couple of weeks and came off the bench in the opener because of it. The joint swelled up again, and he and the team decided to take a closer look at it. The response will determine how long he'll be out for. Mario Pasalic and Ibrahim Sulemana will replace him in the midfield.

Daniel Maldini - Wasteful against Pisa Maldini had three shots (one on target), two key passes and two crosses (one accurate) and drew two fouls in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Pisa.

Impact Maldini got the call over Kamaldeen Sulemana to replace Ademola Lookman (personal) and was dynamic for the most part but also wasted some big chances. Adrien Semper denied him in a one-on-one situation midway through the second half. He's poised for increased opportunities if the starter leaves and the team doesn't bring in further offensive weapons.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Subpar in Pisa meeting De Ketelaere had three shots (zero on target), one key pass and three crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Pisa.

Impact De Ketelaere had a subpar performance considering he was supposed to take on a bigger role without Ademola Lookman (personal), but instead Daniel Maldini, Marco Pasalic and Gianluca Scamacca were more effective. He posted 12 goals and 13 assists in 46 games across all competitions last season. His backup remains Lazar Samardzic.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Nicola Zalewski - Decent in Pisa contest Zalewski had three key passes, 10 crosses (four accurate), three corners and one off-target shot in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Pisa.

Impact Zalewski was prolific on offense but struggled to contain Idrissa Toure on the end of the pitch. He got the call over veteran Davide Zappacosta right away, which bodes well for his playing time in the future.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Raoul Bellanova - Swings in a host of crosses against Pisa Bellanova created three scoring chances and had three shots (one on goal), 16 crosses (four accurate) and seven corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Bellanova motored up and down the flank at will but was rarely on point with his deliveries, given his volume, although he also co-led his side in key passes. He handled corner kick duties more than in the past under a new coach. He tallied nine assists in 34 Serie A matches in 2024/2025.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Pasalic - Provides assist against Pisa Pasalic assisted once to go with one tackle (one won), three clearances and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Pasalic got the nod in the midfield because Ederson wasn't 100 percent and was one of the main playmakers for his side. He fed Gianluca Scamacca in the box ahead of the equalizer. He recorded six goals and five assists last season. He projects to be the top deputy in multiple roles when everybody is healthy.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Scamacca - Strikes in Pisa fixture Scamacca scored one goal to go with seven shots (four on target), one tackle (zero won) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Scamacca led his team in attempts with a wide margin and found the bottom corner with a little curled shot to draw level. He could have had a bigger day as he had a few juicy opportunities. He'll have to split time with Nikola Krstovic eventually, as the coach has ruled out using two center-forwards together.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Hien - Scores own goal versus Pisa Hien registered an own goal, three tackles (three won), six clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Pisa.

Impact Hien was at the wrong place at the wrong time, as he put it in his own net while trying to beat an opponent to the punch. He had his customary commanding and busy performance afterward. He helped keep 10 clean sheets in 30 appearances in 2024/2025.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Carnesecchi - Allows one goal in opener Carnesecchi recorded two saves and gave up one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Carnesecchi stopped a pair of very threatening shots and was beaten by a teammate, Isak Hien, who poked it home from inside the six-yard box on a low-driven cross. He kept 13 clean sheets in 34 matches in the past campaign. Atalanta will face Parma away Saturday.

Ademola Lookman - Won't be available early on Lookman will train on his own until the end of the window after handing a transfer request, L'Eco di Bergamo reported.

Impact Lookman tried to force his way out, in particular to join Inter, even by briefly leaving the country midway through the pre-season preparation without notice, but the transfer hasn't come together, and the suitors have reportedly moved on due to his excessive price tag. The parties will revisit the situation after deadline day if he's still in town. Kamaldeen Sulemana, Mario Pasalic and Daniel Maldini will replace him in the first two matches.
