Impact Tsimikas will miss at least one match with whatever issue he's dealing with. He'll hope for more minutes than last season when he appeared in 13 Premier League matches. Until he's ready to ready, Andrew Robertson should see all of the minutes at left-back, which isn't surprising.

Out with knock Tsimikas will miss Wednesday's preseason friendly against RB Salzburg with a minor knock, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said before the game.

Starts 13 times across competitions Tsimikas had 13 starts (18 appearances) and finished with four assists and 157 crosses between league and UCL play.

Impact Tsimikas saw a nice bit of run this past season after rarely getting on the pitch the prior campaign. He may not become a regular next season, but with Andrew Robertson getting older, there's a chance he could get more time. As for fantasy, he seemed to be more cross happy than Robertson, which could help his upside if he indeed gets more time.

Impact Tsimikas sent in six crosses and created three chances in another spot start for Andrew Robertson.

Impact Tsimikas did well to bomb down the left flank once more and look to break behind the defense. The left-back is a strong option when playing, and truly fills the massive shoes left by Andrew Robertson. Next up is a clash with Brentford, Tsimikas is worth playing if starting.

Impact Tsimikas started in place of Andrew Robertson (hamstring) and did well as Liverpool cruised to a big victory. If Robertson misses out during Tuesday's match against FC Porto, Tsimikas should start once again.

Impact Tsimikas sent in eight crosses and actually took over corner duties from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the second half. The left-back isn't a consistent starter behind Andrew Robertson, but has plenty of value when he is starting. He will likely return to the bench Sunday, against West Ham.

Stars in win over Crystal Palace Tsimikas put in 11 crosses (six accurate), created four scoring chances and received a yellow card.

Impact Tsimikas replaced Andrew Robertson in the starting XI at left-back and took a share of set-pieces.

Impact Tsimikas filled in for Andy Robertson once again and did his best impression at left-back as he led linked up with Diogo Jota for Liverpool's opening goal. Robertson did return to training this week, which could push Tsimikas back to the bench against Chelsea next Saturday, though that is yet to be seen. As long as Tsimikas is playing, he's been a weapon and should be considered for season-long and daily formats.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
