Jonathan Bamba - Assists in 4-1 romp Bamba tallied one assist, one shot (off target), two chances created, seven crosses (one accurate), three dribbles and three corners in Sunday's 4-1 win over Auxerre.

Impact Bamba is off to a fantastic start of the season with Lille looking like the title-winners again. If the squad can sustain that form the winger could have a monster season again with set pieces also boosting his numbers.

Jonathan David - Hammers brace, assist in rout David scored twice on seven shots (three on target) and tallied one assist in two chances created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Auxerre.

Impact David was rejuvenated in the opener and looked like himself from the first part of last season. With Mohamed Bayo the bona fide striker in the squad at the moment the former will likely have more of a winger role in the new scheme and he seems to feel great over there.

Remy Cabella - Stars with two assists in debut Cabella (hamstring) tallied two assists, one shot on target, five chances created, three crosses (none accurate), two dribbles and four corners while playing the full 90 minutes in...

Impact Not only was Cabella ready for full time action right away but he was brilliant in his Lille debut and seems like an immediate fit for his new squad. If the team can sustain that form the playmaker could be a steal in fantasy formats.

Mohamed Bayo - Quiet debut in thumping win Bayo had one shot (off target), two chances created and one foul drawn in Sunday's 4-1 win over Auxerre.

Impact Bayo was fairly quiet in his debut despite the offensive fiesta Lille put up. If the team can sustain that form though the forward should be able to pick up the slack and start scoring sooner rather than later. He had 14 goals and five assists last term for Clermont with just 27 starts.

Remy Cabella - Could feature in opener Cabella (hamstring) was named in the 20-man squad for Sunday's match versus Auxerre.

Impact Cabella is back in action and will be hoping for a start here. He's been dealing with this issue for some time and Lille could be eased off the bench as a precaution. He should be able to get some starts down the road however.

Jonas Martin - Ruled out for opener Martin is dealing with a groin injury and is ruled out for Sunday's match versus Auxerre, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Martin has returned to training Friday though, so he should be good to return next week. In a almost completely revamped Lille squad however it's still uncertain if the veteran should be able to carve himself out a regular role in the starting XI, especially after missing critical time in the Summer with this issue.

Bafode Diakite - Transfers to Lille Diakite joined Lille from Toulouse on Friday. He's committed to a four-year contract with his new club.

Impact Diakite has only played for Toulouse and after helping the club get promoted back to Ligue 1, he'll move onto a bigger club. After the departure of Sven Botman, Diakite is a young defender capable of filling out the rotation and eventually starting regularly without skipping a beat.

Ismaily - Transfers to Lille Ismaily has signed a one-year contract with Lille with the option to extend for an additional year after transferring from Shakhtar Donetsk, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Ismaily tallied 16 goals and 42 assists in all competitions across a nearly decade-long stint with Shakhtar, and the 32-year-old is now moving to Lille for at least one season. With Sven Botman departing for Newcastle this summer, Tiago Djalo is likely to slide into his spot in central defense, which means Ismaily would be competing with Gabriel Gudmundsson for the starting left-back spot.

Mohamed Bayo - Transfers to Lille Bayo has signed a five-year contract with Lille after transferring from Clermont Foot, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Bayo tallied 14 goals and five assists in 32 appearances (27 starts) last season in his debut Ligue 1 campaign with Clermont Foot. The 24-year-old forward could plug straight into the starting lineup alongside Jonathan David at Lille after the departure of Burak Yilmaz. Meanwhile, Grejohn Kyei could take over as the starting striker back at Foot.

Remy Cabella - Transfers to Lille Cabella has signed a one-year contract with Lille after transferring from Montpellier, the club announced Sunday.

Impact Cabella only joined Montpellier from Krasnodar in April, then he started three consecutive matches before missing the remainder of the campaign with a hamstring injury. The 32-year-old is now joining Lille, where he can bring his experience of 245 Ligue 1 games throughout his career (with 50 goals and 34 assists in the competition) to a generally young side. He can play in attacking midfield or on either wing.

Yusuf Yazici - Returns to Lille Yazici returns to Lille after a loan spell with CSKA Moscow.

Impact Yazici was an immediate fit for the Russian side and scored eight goals in 10 appearances in the Spring. He struggled for playing time for Lille before that but now under new management and in a rebuilding year with plenty of starters gone already he may be given another crack at first team football after the impressive finish of last season.

Akim Zedadka - Transfers to Lille Zedadka signed a three-year contract with Lille after a free transfer from Clermont Foot on Friday.

Impact Zedadka is coming off a stellar season for the newcomers Clermont after racking up three assists and eight clean sheets while starting in 37 Ligue 1 matches. At this point the full-back will have a steep competition for playing time at right-back in the face of Zeki Celik though given the sell out mode the Lille are in it wouldn't be a surprise to see the latter departure the club in which case Zedadka could see another huge season on the flank.

Jonas Martin - Signs with Lille Martin signed a two-year contract with Lille after a free transfer from Rennes on Friday.

Impact Martin makes a move to another big name in France and given Les Doggues are in a rebuild mode the veteran could find plenty of playing time until Lille can figure out their new lineup. The holding midfielder does take occasional shots and if he can indeed gain a regular role a few goals and assists could be expected of him.

Edon Zhegrova - Ends season as regular starter Zhegrova scored twice and added one assist in 13 league appearances (five starts) for Lille in season 2021/22.

Impact Zhegrova was a bit limited in his first half a season with Lille but the departures of Burak Yilmaz and other key figures in midfield and up front could see him take on a larger role next term after starting five times in last seven matches this campaign. He also added 15 shots and 30 crosses while taking on 10 corners, so set pieces could be a boost for his fantasy value as well.
