Kristian George Fletcher - Carrying knee problem Fletcher is questionable for Saturday's game against D.C. United due to a knee injury.

Impact Fletcher will be a game-time call to face his former team, but even if he gets the green light to play, he shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy appeal. Fletcher has yet to play this season, though he was an unused sub earlier this year. The winger underwent ACL surgery in 2025 and hasn't played since.

Samuel Gidi - Out through concussion protocol Gidi (concussion protocol) is out for Saturday's game against D.C. United.

Impact Gidi exited the 4-0 loss to Nashville SC last week due to a concussion, so it makes sense to see him ruled out here. The midfielder, who has started in 18 of his 21 appearances this season, will aim to return when Cincy take on Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.

Julian Malatini - Joins Cincinnati on loan Malatini has joined FC Cincinnati on loan from Werder Bremen through June 2027, with an option to make the move permanent, according to the club.

Impact Malatini heads to MLS after spending nearly three seasons with Werder Bremen, where he made 32 Bundesliga appearances and scored twice. The 25-year-old center-back also brings significant experience from Argentina with Talleres and Defensa y Justicia. His size, athleticism and Bundesliga experience should allow him to compete for regular minutes in Cincinnati's back line.

David Doudera - Signs with FC Cincinnati Doudera has joined FC Cincinnati from Slavia Prague on a contract through the 2027-28 MLS season, with a club option for 2028-29, the club announced.

Impact Doudera has made nearly 350 professional appearances in Europe over the past 10 seasons, including 153 for Slavia Prague since 2022-23, scoring 24 goals and playing in seven of Slavia's eight Champions League matches last season. He is a full Czech international with 18 caps and started for his country against Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, giving Cincinnati a proven and experienced addition to its midfield as they push for a playoff spot.

Evander - Five shots in loss to Nashville Evander took five shots (three on goal), sent in six crosses (four accurate), took four corners, and created four chances in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Impact Evander gave Nashville's backline a scare on multiple occasions, but he was unable to break through. The star attacker continues to be among the MLS MVP candidates, with 13 goals and 11 assists through 20 appearances this season. He's in a good rebound spot at home on Saturday against D.C. United.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Ayoub Jabbari - Takes five shots off the bench Jabbari took five shots (three on goal), drew two fouls, and committed two fouls in 45 minutes in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Impact Jabbari was brought on at halftime for Kenji Boma Dem and helped breathe some life into the FC Cincinnati attack. He came close to scoring on multiple occasions, and Jabbari could be in line for more playing time if he continues to be dangerous. Up next is a home clash with D.C. United on Saturday.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Denkey - Bottled up by Nashville SC Denkey took two shots (one on goal), created two chances, and committed one foul in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Impact Denkey was bottled up by the Nashville SC defense, failing to impact the scoresheet for the fifth consecutive match. He'll look to get back among the goals at home on Saturday against a D.C. United side that has conceded six goals across their last three games.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Roman Celentano - Saves four, concedes four in loss Celentano made four saves in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Impact Celentano and FC Cincinnati were throttled on the road by an in-form Nashville SC side. They're in a good bounce-back spot at home on Saturday against a D.C. United attack that has scored just one goal across their last three matches.

Samuel Gidi - Protocol substitution Saturday Gidi left Saturday's 4-0 loss to Nashville under a concussion substitution in the second half.

Impact Gidi collided with an opposing player and was replaced by Kyle Smith, with the team taking no risks even though the midfielder stood up and abandoned the field unaided. Gidi will need to be assessed before being cleared to play, as the protocol could require him to be inactive for some days. He has been deployed as a center-back lately, so his absence would affect the team in defensive aspects.

Roman Celentano - Makes two saves Saturday Celentano made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Celentano was seven minutes away from what would've been his first MLS clean sheet since April 25. Instead, a late goal from Kalani Kossa-Rienzi in the 83rd minute extended his run of games without a shutout to 11 contests. Celentano will have a tough matchup next week when they take on Nashville SC, one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, on Saturday.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Gerardo Valenzuela - Creative presence in midfield Valenzuela registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Valenzuela remained involved throughout the contest from his advanced midfield role, contributing both as a shooter and creator while playing the full 90 minutes. Valenzuela's ability to contribute across multiple attacking categories continues to give him a useful fantasy profile even when he isn't directly involved in a goal, as he has one of the highest floors in the Cincinnati roster outside of Evander.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Tom Barlow - Takes three shots in draw Barlow had three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Barlow received another opportunity up front but had minimal impact on Cincinnati's attack before making way for Ayoub Jabbari. The forward failed to put his lone attempt on target, and that kind of production makes it hard to justify keeping him in the XI, both in fantasy and real life. With Kevin Denkey also available, don't be surprised if Barlow moves to the bench when Cincinnati takes on Nashville SC on Saturday.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Evander - Scores, impressive display Evander scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and nine corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Evander opened the scoring in the 24th minute, pouncing on a loose ball after Andrew Thomas saved Kenji Mboma Dem's initial effort and Paul Rothrock blocked Bryan Ramirez's follow-up. The Brazilian remained Cincinnati's primary creative force throughout the match, and he continues to display his keen eye for goal. The goal was Evander's 13th of the MLS campaign, continuing another highly productive season for the attacking midfielder. He also has 10 assists, giving him a third straight campaign with at least 10 goals and 10 assists.
