Joao Pedro - Quiet performance in draw Pedro had two shots (one on target), created one chance and made two blocks during Tuesday's scoreless draw against Verona.

Impact Pedro was coming from scoring twice and assisting once over his last three starts, but this time he was kept at bay most of the time, specially during the second half, when his side was dominated by the opposition. With eight goals and three assists over 15 starts this season, Cagliari's captain will try to bounce back during Monday's home match against Torino.

Impact Ceppitelli had another huge performance at the heart of the defense, adding nice numbers in every defensive category while helping his side to withstand some stretches of heavy pressure, specially during the second half. With six tackles and 15 clearances over his last two starts, the centre back will try to keep it up during Monday's home match against Torino.

Boris Radunovic - Keeps clean sheet in draw Radunovic made six saves and kept a clean sheet during Tuesday's scoreless draw against Verona.

Impact Radunovic made his second start of the season, replacing Alessio Cragno (personal), and had a great performance with several huge saves, specially during the second half, when the opposition intensified the pressure in search of a game-winning goal. Cragno will probably return for Monday's home match against Torino., but Radunovic showed that he's more than capable to fill in whenever needed.

Alessio Cragno - Will miss Verona match Cragno will sit out Tuesday's game versus Verona due to personal reasons, Cagliari announced.

Impact Cragno will have to sit this one out for unforeseen circumstances. Backup Boris Radunovic will make his second appearance of the season against a pretty explosive team.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Godin - Remains sidelined Godin (thigh) was not named in Cagliari's squad list to face Verona Tuesday.

Impact Godin has not been helped by the short turnarounds and will skip the third game in a row due to a minor thigh problem. Luca Ceppitelli, Andrea Carboni and Martin Caceres all started in the previous game in a more crowded backline.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Cragno - One save in draw Cragno made one save during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Cragno made one save on the two shots he faced to fall to a draw during Friday's clash. The keeper will look to bounce back from a string of poor performances Tuesday, away against Verona.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dalbert - Six crosses in return Dalbert (knee) sent in six crosses (one accurate) during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Dalbert made his return from a knee injury and looked spry and quick, though his crosses lacked finishing touch. The midfielder should be a consistent starter if fit and able to stay on the pitch. Next up is a Tuesday trip to Verona.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Raoul Bellanova - Busy in draw Bellanova sent in seven crosses and created two chances during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Bellanova was busy down the right side of midfield during Friday's draw, though he failed to make the difference despite plenty of chances. The midfielder has now started the last three matches and is an interesting fantasy play if he remains in the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nahitan Nandez - Seven crosses in draw Nandez sent in seven crosses (one accurate) during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Nandez was wasteful to the extreme Friday, with a plethora of chances to get on the score sheet, all squandered. The midfielder has been a consistent fantasy producer to this point, and will hope to bounce back away against Verona on Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Razvan Marin - Creates seven chances Marin sent in six crosses (five accurate), creating seven chances during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Marin failed to get on the score sheet but had a huge role on set-pieces, a role that gave him a strong floor. The midfielder is a safe option in most matches, with a solid floor and decent ceiling. He will hope to keep this going Tuesday, away to Verona.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Pedro - Assists in busy draw Joao Pedro provided one assist on seven shots (two on goal) during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Joao Pedro has been the only reliable forward on offer in Cagliari, and he continued that run Friday. The forward set up a late goal that proved vital in the draw. He will be a top option during a Tuesday trip to Verona.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leonardo Pavoletti - Scores off bench Pavoletti scored off the bench during Friday's one-all draw with Salernitana.

Impact Pavoletti scored his second goal of the campaign off the bench Friday. The forward has lost all fantasy relevance now that he has well-and-truly fallen out of the starting XI. He is purely a desperation play unless he moves back into a starting role.

Damir Ceter - Recovers for Salernitana game Ceter (calf) has been named in Cagliari's squad list to face Salernitana Friday.

Impact Ceter is available for the first time since early September as he missed extended time due to a calf strain. He does project to have a significant role, but Cagliari are not very deep offensively and so he could be used in some late-game situations.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leonardo Pavoletti - Available versus Salernitana Pavoletti (thigh) has been included in Cagliari's squad list to face Salernitana Friday.

Impact Pavoletti passed a late fitness test and will be an option for this one, although he will most likely be a bench option, with Joao Pedro and Keita starting. He has logged one goal, 13 shots and five chances created in 11 appearances (four starts).

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Godin - Ruled out Friday Godin (thigh) did not make the squad list to face Salernitana Friday, Cagliari announced.

Leonardo Pavoletti - Questionable for Salernitana match Pavoletti has been unable to practice fully in recent days due to muscle fatigue and will be a late call for Friday's game versus Salernitana, coach Walter Mazzarri announced.

Impact Pavoletti might miss the game because of the ailment and in any case he would be highly unlikely to start given the situation. Cagliari will lean on Balde Keita and Joao Pedro in an easy match-up and both scored last week.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Godin - Doubtful for Salernitana game Godin (thigh) has remained limited in practice throughout the week and is a long shot for Friday's match versus Salernitana, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Impact Godin is at serious risk of skipping the second consecutive game due to muscle fatigue. Should that be the case, Luca Ceppitelli would likely partner Andrea Carboni in the back again.

Babis Lykogiannis - Sends in seven crosses in draw Lykogiannis delivered seven crosses (two accurate), made three clearances and created two chances in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Sassuolo.

Impact Lykogiannis sent in the most crosses on either side (7). He was also his sides primary corner taker with four and he is only second to Razvan Marin (39) in set piece crosses and shots (21). As long as he continues to serve as a set piece taker he has upside potential. His next opponent is Salernitana on November 26.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Cragno - Concedes two goals against Sassuolo Cragno made two saves, a clearance and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nahitan Nandez - Provides assist in draw Nandez took one shot (zero on target), created two chances and set up a goal in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Sassuolo.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Pedro - Scores against Sassuolo Joao Pedro took four shots (two on target), won nine duels and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dalbert - Does not feature versus Sassuolo Dalbert (knee) was an unused sub in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.

Impact Dalbert made the squad list but, as suggested by the coach, he was not fully ready yet and the game flow did not go in his favor. After a few more practices, he will have better a chance to log some minutes in Friday's home game against Salernitana. He has posted two shots, seven chances created, 18 crosses and eight tackles in six games.
