Luca Ranieri - Available against Venezia Ranieri served a one-game ban in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Ranieri will likely substitute for Pietro Comuzzo against Venezia next Monday. He has notched three or more clearances in his last five displays, accumulating 31 and adding 11 tackles (six won), six blocks and five interceptions, with two clean sheets.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Sent off after final whistle versus Roma Zaniolo had one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Roma and was shown a straight red card after the end of the game.

Impact Zaniolo drew a rare start as the coach rested both Albert Gudmundsson and Lucas Beltran due to the Conference League and had a so-so display, pulling his weight offensively only with a pair of bursting runs. He was expelled for protesting too much after the end of the game. He could get a multi-game suspension depending on what he said to the referee. He'll miss at least next Monday's game against Venezia, where the two top options will likely split minutes.

Danilo Cataldi - Absent against Roma Cataldi (thigh) hasn't been selected for Sunday's match versus Roma, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Cataldi hasn't been properly assessed yet but isn't fit enough to be involved in any capacity a few days after suffering a thigh problem in a Conference League tilt. Yacine Adli is the favorite to start in relief over Amir Richardson and Cher Ndour, who'll have better chances of getting minutes.

MAY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Colpani - Bench option midweek Colpani (foot) was an unused sub in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Real Betis in the Conference League.

Impact Colpani made the squad for the first time since mid-February, when he was diagnosed with a foot fracture. He was a regular, although not particularly effective, before going down, but the coach changed the scheme in the meantime, and the new one doesn't feature his natural position. He'll likely back up Nicolo Fagioli as a central midfielder for the most part down the stretch. He has played in 23 matches (18 starts) so far, scoring twice, assisting once and logging 36 shots (12 on target), 17 chances created and 32 crosses (five accurate).

Danilo Cataldi - Limps off midweek Cataldi left Thursday's Conference League match versus Betis in the first half due to a thigh issue, coach Raffaele Palladino announced.

Impact Cataldi got the nod despite not training fully on the eve of the game but was forced off in the first half due to a muscular problem after a shot from distance. He's set for tests. Yacine Adli, Amir Richardson and Cher Ndour are the other options at the position.

MAY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moise Kean - Appears against Betis Kean (personal) came off the bench at halftime in Thursday's Conference League game versus Betis.

Impact Kean was partially managed after spending some time abroad but was able to provide his contribution and looked fine. He'll most likely be back in the XI over Lucas Beltran or Albert Gudmunsson versus Roma on Sunday. He has scored twice and assisted once in the last five displays. He has taken multiple shots in his last six appearances, piling up 18 (eight on target), adding three key passes.

MAY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Mari - Has another impressive performance Mari made one tackle, 11 clearances, four interceptions and one block during Sunday's 2-1 win over Empoli.

Impact Mari is the one of the top Serie A fantasy performers right now and he showed that again here, pacing all players in clearances with his third consecutive game with double digits. Despite having way less matches played than his competition, Mari is still among the league's top 10 in clearances, interceptions and blocks if his numbers with Monza and Fiorentina are combined.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

David De Gea - Makes four saves in win De Gea made four saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 2-1 win over Empoli.

Impact De Gea couldn't do much to stop Jacopo Fazzini's finish from point-blank range in the 57th minute but other than that was flawless and made several important stops that helped his team leaving the pitch with the three points. With three clean sheets and just four goals allowed over his last six starts, the veteran goalkeeper couldn't ask for a much better comeback campaign than the one he's enjoying at Fiorentina.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rolando Mandragora - Scores in win over Empoli Mandragora scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created one chance and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Empoli.

Impact Mandragora was already coming off assisting in his previous game and did even better here, scoring his team's second goal with a spectacular half-bicycle kick after controlling the ball inside the box in the 25th minute. Despite having some ups and downs throughout the campaign, the midfielder has already matched last year's numbers, with three goals and three assists over 25 appearances.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Albert Gudmundsson - Logs assist in win Gudmundsson delivered an assist, had one shot on goal and created two chances during Sunday's 2-1 win over Empoli.

Impact Gudmundsson need just seven minutes to make an impact as he used a brilliant through pass to assist Yacine Adli for the opening goal. The forward couldn't do much during the rest of the game and was ultimately subbed off during the closing stages of the contest. After struggling with injuries during the start of the campaign, Gudmundsson never got it going to be the same threat he was last year with Genoa.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yacine Adli - Scores, assists in rare start Adli scored a goal off his lone shot and made an assist during Sunday's 2-1 win over Empoli.

Impact Adli started for the first time in more than two months and had a huge impact as he needed just seven minutes to open the scoring for Fiorentina and then assisted Rolando Mandragora for the second goal in the 25th minute. This was surprising even for the most optimistic Adli's enthusiast as the midfielder couldn't have much playing time since returning from an ankle injury and was an unused substitute in two of the previous four games.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moise Kean - Returns in Italy Kean (personal) headed back to Italy and trained on the side Monday, Ansa reported.

Impact Kean returned to the training center after about a week away for personal reasons and will be back on the midweek either Thursday versus Real Betis in the Conference League or Sunday versus Roma depending on his fitness level.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Ranieri - Suspended for Roma game Ranieri had three clearances and one tackle and was cautioned for the fifth time in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Empoli.

Impact Ranieri had a ho-hum display and won't be available for the next match due to yellow-card accumulation. Pietro Comuzzo or Matias Moreno will fill in for him next to Pablo Mari and Marin Pongracic.

APRIL 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moise Kean - Ruled out for Empoli game Kean (personal) hasn't been called up for Sunday's game versus Empoli.

Impact Kean hasn't reported back to the team and remains out of the country for personal reasons. There's hope he'll do it at some point next week. Lucas Beltran and Albert Gudmundsson will likely partner up front again, with Nicolo Zaniolo as the main offensive deputy.

APRIL 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dodo - Suffering from appendicitis Dodo announced on Instagram that he's been hospitalized due to appendicitis, adding that he'll be back soon.

Impact Dodo won't be available against Empoli on Sunday, and his absence could extend to the Roma and Venezia tilts depending on how quickly he recovers from surgery. Fiorentina don't have other pure wing-backs, but Michael Folorunsho, Matias Moreno and Pietro Comuzzo can take care of the role.

Nicolo Fagioli - Creates three chances in Cagliari game Fagioli generated three key passes, one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Cagliari.

Impact Fagioli paced his team in chances created in a match that didn't have a lot of offense. He failed to launch a cross for the first time in ten matches. He has had at least one tackle in six straight rounds, adding five shots (two on target), nine key passes and 12 deliveries (two accurate), assisting twice.

APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Mari - Puts up great numbers in Cagliari match Mari had one tackle (one won) and 19 clearances and committed three fouls in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Cagliari.

Impact Mari easily set his new season high in clearances but didn't log many other stats, and his team conceded once. He has registered at least four clearances in the past four fixtures, averaging one tackle per game (two won) and recording 12 interceptions and seven blocks, helping keep three clean sheets.

APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Ranieri - Racks up stats against Cagliari Ranieri had two tackles (two won), nine clearances, one block and one interception in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Cagliari.

Impact Ranieri had his hands full in the back and had a strong performance even though his side gave up one goal, posting a new season high in clearances. He has notched at least three in six consecutive matches, totaling 35, adding 10 tackles (six won), seven interceptions and eight blocks and contributing to two clean sheets.

APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Albert Gudmundsson - Mostly quiet versus Cagliari Gudmundsson registered one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Cagliari.

Impact Gudmudsson didn't amass more stats than usual even though Moise Kean (personal) was missing, and he played the whole game, which doesn't happen often. He has averaged one shot per game in the past seven fixtures (five on target), scoring twice and posting two key passes, four crosses (one accurate) and one corner.

APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dodo - Sets up teammate in Cagliari game Dodo assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Cagliari.

Impact Dodo turned in another good display on the wing and found Lucas Beltran with a soft cross on the game-winning goal early in the second half. It's his fifth in the season, all coming since late January. He has had at least one key pass in the past four games and at least three crosses in the last seven, piling up 33 (eight accurate) and adding five shots (one on target), five tackles (three won) and nine chances created.

APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rolando Mandragora - Dishes out assist against Cagliari Mandragora assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and five clearances in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Cagliari.

Impact Mandragora was active on both ends and teed up Robin Gosens with a quality through ball midway through the first half, collecting his third helper in the campaign. He has been rather consistent as of late, posting at least one key pass and one cross in five consecutive matches. Instead, he has recorded two or more shots and three or more clearances in four of the last five.
