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.

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.

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.

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.

Gerardo Valenzuela - Provides one assist in victory Valenzuela assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against New York City FC.

Impact Valenzuela made an immediate impact on his return from the two-match suspension he received for his red card against Columbus Crew, providing the key pass in the 90th minute build-up that redirected Pavel Bucha's ball into Evander's path inside the box for the match-winning goal, also registering one cross and three chances created across his time on the pitch. The midfielder has now scored one goal and contributed three assists across 16 MLS appearances this season, and his ability to deliver impactful creative contributions immediately upon returning from suspension underlines why he is an important component of Cincinnati's midfield structure heading into the Seattle Sounders fixture.

Kenji Mboma Dem - Scores opener Mboma Dem scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus New York City FC.

Impact Mboma Dem opened the scoring in Wednesday's 2-1 win over NYCFC, reacting quickest after Evander's long through ball guided Kevin Denkey into the box and the ball skipped through a crowded area to the trailing midfielder, who used his left foot to shelf it into the net in the 11th minute for his fifth MLS goal of the season. The forward registered four shots (two on target) and two chances created across his time on the pitch, and has now scored five goals and contributed one assist across 17 MLS appearances this season including 12 starts, with his combination of goal threat and pressing intensity making him an increasingly important option in Cincinnati's attack.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Evander - Scores late goal Evander scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus New York City FC.

Impact Evander was the decisive figure in Wednesday's 2-1 win over NYCFC, first providing the through ball that created Kenji Mboma Dem's 11th-minute opener before spinning away from two defenders inside the box in the 90th to fire a left-footed laser past Matt Freese and seal all three points. The Brazilian has now scored 12 goals and contributed 10 assists across 19 MLS appearances this season, with his league-leading 23rd goal contribution including four stoppage-time goals in his Cincinnati career, three of which have been match-winners, both records in club history. His stoppage-time strike handed Cincinnati their first win over NYCFC since 2024 and moved the Orange and Blue to fifth in the Eastern Conference.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Roman Celentano - Seven saves against New York City Celentano made seven saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus New York City FC.

Impact Celentano was FC Cincinnati's busiest player in Wednesday's 2-1 win over NYCFC, making seven saves across 90 minutes to keep his side in the match throughout a game where NYCFC generated sustained attacking pressure and registered multiple clear-cut chances, with his best stops coming to deny Luighi twice from close range after the Brazilian's equalizer. The American goalkeeper has now gone ten consecutive MLS matches without a clean sheet and made 15 saves across his last three appearances, a workload that reflects the defensive vulnerability his side is managing, but Wednesday's win keeps Cincinnati fifth in the Eastern Conference heading into the Seattle Sounders fixture.

Ender Echenique - Creates four chances Saturday Echenique recorded two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC.

Impact Echenique tied a season high with four chances created Saturday, acting as the central creative force for the Cincinnati attack. He also took two shots but failed to put either on target. Echenique also made one clearance as he completed the full 90 minutes for just the third time this season and the first since April 4.

Evander - Snaps goal contribution streak Evander recorded five shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in t...

Impact Evander had a productive outing Saturday, but he failed to extend his remarkable streak of goal contributions. He had recorded at least one goal contribution in each of his last eight matches, but even more impressively had 18 goal contributions (nine goals and nine assists) over that stretch. Him being shut out wasn't for the lack of trying as he took five shots and created two chances in his full 90 minutes of action. He'll look to start a new streak Wednesday versus New York City FC.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Pavel Bucha - Scores opener Saturday Bucha scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC.

Impact Bucha scored his fifth goal of the season Saturday, an outside-the-box strike in the 23rd minute which opened up the scoring. It was the only shot he took in the match. He was active on the defensive end too as he won two tackles, made two clearances and intercepted one pass in his full 90 minutes of action.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Roman Celentano - Concedes once in draw Celentano had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Orlando City SC.

Impact Celentano conceded one goal in Sunday's draw, breaking an eight-match streak of conceding multiple goals. He made four saves versus Orlando, helping his side earn an important road point. He faces an important matchup Wednesday versus New York City FC, a side which has scored 33 goals through 19 matches this season.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Gerardo Valenzuela - Back from ban Valenzuela has served his two match suspension and will be an option to face NYCFC on Wednesday.

Impact Valenzuela returns after serving a two-match suspension. He's produced just two assists over his last nine appearances but has remained active defensively, totaling 13 tackles, 13 clearances, and 11 interceptions in that span. The midfielder is also having one of his stronger seasons for the club, matching his career high with 11 starts in 15 appearances since joining in 2023.
