Jean Butez - Keeps clean sheet in win Butez made zero saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's 1-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Butez extends a strong stretch with his seventh clean sheet in 11 starts, but this one was far shakier than the trend suggests, as he produced none of the shot stopping that has driven his value and was actually beaten by Nicolo Zaniolo before an offside call spared him. The clean sheet still helps his long-term profile, yet this outing underscores how volatile he becomes when Como silence opponents too much, leaving him fully dependent on clean sheet equity rather than his usually reliable volume.

Lucas Da Cunha - Converts PK in win Da Cunha scored a penalty goal, created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made three tackles (two won) and two interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 win over Udinese...

Impact Da Cunha buried the 18th minute match winner from the penalty spot, an especially notable moment considering it was his first goal of the season from a holding role that usually limits scoring upside. The defensive volume kept his floor secure, and while he still projects more as a steady involvement midfielder than a true ceiling play, being trusted for an early decisive PK hints at a slight rise in value if he keeps that duty going forward.

Noel Tornqvist - Heads to Como Tornqvist has completed his spell at Mjallby and is now part of the Como squad.

Impact Tornqvist will compete with Nikola Cavlina to be the top deputy behind Jean Butez unless the team decides to loan him out again. He has allowed 18 goals and kept 13 clean sheets in 29 Allsvenskan matches this year.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Paz - Subs in late against Udinese Paz (thigh) had one tackle (zero won) and eight passes and drew one foul in 21 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Udinese.

Impact Paz made his maiden bench appearance after dealing with a few different muscular ailments and a stomach bug in recent days and didn't produce during his short cameo, failing to take a shot for the first time this year. He'll look to get healthy and return to the XI against Pisa on Tuesday. Maxence Caqueret or Lucas Da Cunha would eventually make way for him.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Carlos - Clears suspension Carlos completed a one-game ban in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Udinese.

Impact Carlos should be back against Pisa on Tuesday, as the coach didn't mention an injury in recent pressers after he left a little early versus Udinese. He has rotated with Marc-Oliver Kempf in recent tilts. He has logged at least one clearance in his last eight showings, piling up 46, notching five tackles, four blocks and 13 tackles (four won) and contributing to three clean sheets over that span.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Paz - Not starting versus Udinese Paz won't get the nod against Udinese due to a late ailment, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Paz is available off the bench but isn't fit enough to play 90 minutes and might be deployed only if necessary and depending on how the game goes. Maxence Caqueret is getting the call in relief, and either he or Lucas Da Cunha will man the no.10 position.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Absent versus Udinese Addai (thigh) "has resumed training, but Saturday is too early for him," coach Cesc Fabregas stated.

Impact Addai will skip his second game on the trot because of a minor thigh injury, but he might miss much more time. Mergim Vojvoda should substitute for him again after faring well last week. The other options at the position are Nicolas Kuhn and Martin Baturina.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Sala - Departs Como Sala has joined Avellino on a permanent deal from Como.

Impact Sala never played so far this campaign and only made 12 appearances (three starts) in 2023/2024, which he split between Como and Lecce. He'll look for consistent minutes back in Serie B.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Mergim Vojvoda - Provides two assists in win Vojvoda assisted twice to go with eight crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Vojboda registered his first two assists of the season. He registered one in each half as he led Como with five chances created. His eight crosses marked a new season-high.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Anastasios Douvikas - Scores in win Tasos Douvikas scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Lecce.

Impact Douvikas notched his fourth goal of the season as he extended the lead in the 75th minute. The forward has come off the bench in nine of 16 games this season, but he's scored in his last three appearances as a starter.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Paz - Scores, assists in win Nico Paz scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Lecce.

Impact Paz notched his sixth goal of the season as he opened up the scoring in the 20th minute. Additionally, he helped extend the lead in the second half as he picked up an assist. The attacking midfielder is now up to 12 goal contributions this season.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Butez - Secures clean sheet in win Butez had five saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 3-0 win over Lecce. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.

Impact Butez had a strong performance as he made five saves without allowing a goal in the win against Lecce. It marked his seventh clean sheet of the season. Next, he'll face off against Udinense, a team with 18 goals in 17 games.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Roberto - DNP in Lecce contest Roberto (thigh) didn't sub in during Saturday's 3-0 victory over Lecce.

Impact Roberto was an option after missing two months due to a severe thigh injury, but the coach erred on the side of caution and played a youngster over him when the result was in hand. He'll attempt to challenge Maximo Perrone, Lucas Da Cunha and Maxence Caqueret in the coming fixtures.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Dossena - Unused against Lecce Dossena (knee) didn't feature in Saturday's 3-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Dossena worked his way back from a serious injury, but didn't get minutes in this one, even though Como built a comfortable lead. He'll be the fourth option in the middle of the defense going forward.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Carlos - Subs off late against Udinese Diego Carlos recorded one clearance, one block and one tackle (one won) before leaving Saturday's 3-0 win over Lecce at the 79th minute due to a possible muscular injury, Sky Italy...

Impact Diego Carlos returned to the starting lineup after not playing in the previous game, had a serviceable showing and received some medical attention before bowing out with about 10 minutes to go. He'll be assessed before next Saturday's clash with Udinese to verify whether he's dealing with something more than fatigue. Marc-Oliver Kempf replaced him off the bench.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Dossena - Makes bench vs. Lecce Dossena (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Lecce.

Impact Dossena is on the bench for the first time this season after the ACL injury he sustained in March this year. The defender will add depth to the defensive line, but he's not expected to carry a lot of fantasy upside, particularly if he continues to play off the bench.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Roberto - Available off bench Roberto (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Lecce.

Impact Roberto was deemed fit by manager Cesc Fabregas earlier in the week, so it's not surprising to see him available on the bench. The veteran midfielder will return after missing the last 10 games due to a thigh problem.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Unavailable against Lecce Addai (thigh) didn't make Como's squad list for Saturday's fixture against Lecce.

Impact Addai picked up a thigh injury two weeks ago against Roma and hasn't been able to recuperate in time for this one. Jesus Rodriguez, Martin Baturina, Nicolas Kuhn and Mergim Vojvoda will man the wings, as Assane Diao (thigh) is missing as well.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Dossena - Available after major injury Dossena (knee) will be an option for the first time in the season Saturday, coach Cesc Fabregas stated.

Impact Dossena has been ramping up for a month or so and will return to the squad after lacerating his ACL in March. He'll begin as the fourth option behind Jacob Ramon, Diego Carlos and Marc-Oliver Kempf in the middle of the defense. He played 23 times (20 starts) in 2023/2024 before the injury, totaling 33 tackles, 22 interceptions and 87 clerances but failing to contribute to a clean sheet.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Roberto - Fit for Lecce fixture Roberto (thigh) will return Saturday against Lecce, coach Cesc Fabregas announced.

Impact Roberto will resume being an option after sitting out 10 matches because of a serious thigh injury. He'll likely be handled carefully in his first pair of appearances and operate behind Maximo Perrone, Lucas Da Cunha and Maxence Caqueret in the midfield. He had featured five times before going down, recording five shots (one on target), four key passes and two crosses (two accurate).

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assane Diao - Won't return soon Diao "will be out for five to six weeks and will be back in late January at the earliest," coach Cesc Fabregas stated.

Impact Diao suffered a serious thigh lesion that knocked him out of AFCON 2025 and will cost him several Serie A rounds, considering the dense schedule in the next month. Jesus Rodriguez, Martin Baturina and Tasos Douvikas will enjoy an uptick in minutes without him.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assane Diao - Forced to withdraw from AFCON Diao has been diagnosed with a right biceps femoris strain and has been removed from the squad, Senegal announced.

Impact Diao suffered his third injury of the season right before leaving, and he has ultimately been ruled out for the competition as he'll need a few weeks to recover. He'll skip multiple Serie A matches, and his timetable will be better determined once he's examined by Como's medical staff as well. Tasos Douvikas, Jesus Rodriguez and Martin Baturina will soak up his minutes in a few different roles.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assane Diao - Uncertain for AFCON Diao is uncertain for AFCON after suffering a thigh injury against Roma, per manager Cesc Fabregas. "I prefer not to touch on the subject too much. Diao is called up and I spoke to...

Impact Diao is seemingly going to accept the call up for AFCON, against his clubs wishes. Senegal's doctors will determine if he's fit enough to play at AFCON, so his status for the tournament is up in the air. Either way it appears Diao won't be with Como for a Dec. 27 clash with Lecce. Tasos Douvikas replaced him after his injury against Roma.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Kempf - Returns to the XI versus Roma Kempf had nine clearances, two blocks and one key pass in Monday's 1-0 defeat to Roma.

Impact Kempf got the call for the first time since early November, as he struggled to recover fully from a thigh problem, even though he didn't miss time. He'll rotate with Diego Carlos and Jacobo Ramon in the spots in the middle of the defense going forward. He has notched 12 clearances, one chance created and three blocks in his lat five appearances.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Baturina - Draws rare start against Roma Baturina created one scoring chance and had four crosses (zero accurate), one clearance and one corner in Monday's 1-0 defeat versus Roma.

Impact Baturina was called upon while Alvaro Morata (thigh) was missing, as the coach elected to field him and Nico Paz as strikers. He didn't have a particularly good display but matched his season high in corners. He could enjoy an uptick in minutes since Assane Diao and Jayden Addai left with thigh injuries in this one. He has scored once and posted five chances created, 12 crosses (four accurate) and six corners in his last five displays.
