Impact Fargo has yet to go into full training since switching team as he continues to be bothered by a thigh bruise and therefore he will probably miss some more games.

Puts together MVP performance Skorupski made seven saves and conceded once during the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Skorupski was phenomenal during the draw Saturday. The keeper kept his club in a match that should have been too far out of their hands. He made multiple high-danger saves and could have had a different storyline if it were not for him. He has one of the highest upsides in Serie A right now and it is a perfect streaming candidate at his position.

Is tossed in return Hickey drew one foul and received one red card in the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Hickey has barely played lately due to COVID, but he made his short return in the draw Saturday. The defender was just starting to get his legs back when he threw himself into a rather dangerous tackle and upon VAR review, the card was given red for reckless play. It is unknown the length of his absence. However, it will not make a significant impact, since Hickey was already out for a majority of the season.

Takes five corners in draw Orsolini created two chances, sent five crosses (none accurate), took five corners and made one tackle (none won) during the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Orsolini was invisible throughout the entire match in the draw Saturday. The midfielder was not seen unless there was a set-piece. He was barely involved in the transition game and only had two chances created. Until he can create value outside of set-pieces, he is to be passed for other options.

Is gifted goal in draw Soriano scored once, took two shots (two on target) and made two interceptions in the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Soriano was rewarded with luck in the draw Saturday. Sassuolo's keeper made a very bad play that resulted in Bologna winning the ball back over for a quick flick from Soriano to start the scoring in the affair. He was not quite as active as he typically is, but he was due for a slight dip in overall production. Nonetheless, he has one goal and one assist in his past three matches with four shots attempted and five chances created. He will cover a few different categories for those that need it.

Collects fourth assist of season Barrow assisted once, took one shot (none on target), created one chance and made two tackles (one won) during the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Barrow was subpar at best in the draw Saturday. The forward did not produce much of anything and found himself out of form for a majority of the match. He did get quite lucky as well thanks to a goalkeeper mistake on Sassuolo's end that gifted him his assist to open the scoring. For the most part, Barrow is a shoot first player and will not generate much in terms of peripherals. However, he does still spearhead the attack for Bologna and is always finding himself a part of the scoring chances.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sends four crosses in draw Sansone sent four crosses (none accurate), took one corner and made one tackle (none won) in the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Sansone was subpar in the draw Saturday. The midfielder did not have a single chance between himself and his club, but he did at least use the flank to his advantage. This performance does seem more of an outlier than anything else comparing to his previous matches. He also has a goal and two assists in now three matches. Look for signs of positive regression when Sassuolo hosts Lazio on Saturday.

He has scored twice, taken 10 shots, created five chances and sent in 12 crosses in 22 matches. Bologna will face Sassuolo away next Saturday.
