Tim Weah - Creates three chances versus Brest Weah had three chances created, four crosses (one accurate) and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.

Impact Weah was very active and impressive in his first start since early December. He recovered from an injury this week and should be getting even better after the break and with Jonathan Ikone out of the squad the former could be getting himself a regular starting role on the wing moving forward.

Jonathan Bamba - Takes two shots in defeat Bamba had two shots (one on target), two crosses (none accurate) and four dribbles in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.

Impact Bamba has now mounted six shots from his past four matches and has been knocking on the door for his first score of the season. Overall though he's mounting a quiet campaign and rarely has been getting impressive stat lines for fantasy purposes.

Renato Sanches - Sends 11 crosses versus Brest Sanches hauled in two shots (off target), 11 crosses (two accurate), three dribbles, eight corners and three dispossessions in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.

Impact Sanches continues his terrific run of form and remains very active. He's now had two assists over his past three matches and has mounted three shots, six chances created and 17 crosses over the same period.

Burak Yilmaz - Takes four shots in 2-0 loss Yilmaz had four shots (one on target), one dribble and one aerial won in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.

Impact Yilmaz continues to struggle a bit this campaign and just can't seem to find his magic touch after wasting another four efforts on goal easily. The veteran has now mounted three matches without a score while merely hitting the target four times from 11 attempts over the same period.

Jonathan David - Takes three shots in defeat David had three shots (two on target), two chances created, two dribbles and three dispossessions in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.

Impact David recorded his third straight game without a goal and seems to be stringing together himself a dry streak. He's only just taken two shots on target over that period but with 15 goals already this campaign he could be back on his scoring ways very soon.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivo Grbic - Makes two saves in 2-0 loss Grbic made two saves in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brest.

Impact Grbic has mounted 18 saves from his past eight matches but has allowed 10 goals as well and with just one clean sheet his fantasy production has been seriously diminished.

Xeka - Ruled out for Brest match Xeka didn't make the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Brest due to an undisclosed reason, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Xeka wasn't announced as injured and must have either picked up something in the last minute or may be missing due to different reason. In either case he hasn't started since early December and his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hatem Ben Arfa - Signs with Lille Ben Arfa has signed a contract with Lille on Wednesday for the remainder of the season.

Impact Ben Arfa has been without a club since the Summer and won't be expected to have a major role, especially at his age. The veteran though will certainly find playing time after the departures of Jonathan Ikone and Yusuf Yazici and could have some value in DFS formats down the road whenever given a rare opportunity to start in any of the tournaments Lille are still chasing.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivo Grbic - Makes four saves in 3-1 victory Grbic made four saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Grbic has now mounted 18 saves with eight goals allowed over his past eight matches and given he's merely kept one clean sheet in that span he has been underperforming in most fantasy formats of late.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reinildo Mandava - Heads one home in 3-1 win Mandava scored on two shots (one on target) and added two crosses (none accurate), three interceptions, three fouls drawn and team-high 81 passes completed in Wednesday's 3-1 win o...

Impact Mandava delivered a stellar all around performance and was a serious threat going forward. His ruthless header all but sealed the deal for his team with the third goal of the night early in the game. That was his first major offensive contribution of the campaign but he's taken six shots over his past seven starts. He's also produced impressive defensive peripheral numbers on consistent basis.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Botman Sven - Wins three aerials in 3-1 victory Botman had one shot (off target), three aerials won, two tackles (one won), two blocked shots, four clearances and 78 passes completed in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Botman turned in a fantastic all around display and a stat output and the only thing missing for the perfect fantasy day was the clean sheet. He's been superb since his return from an injury in December and has been a massive fantasy producer with one goal, one assist and one clean sheet from his previous three matches.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Renato Sanches - Shines with assist in 3-1 victory Sanches tallied one assist, four chances created, four crosses (all accurate), four dribbles and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Sanches was absolutely brilliant here and delivered another impressive display within a matter of days. He's off to a lava hot start of 2022 with two assists on six chances created and six crosses already in just two affairs and could be one to look at as a good addition to your roster moving forward.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Isaac Lihadji - Stars with goal in first start Lihadji scored on his lone shot and added one chance created and two fouls drawn in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Lihadji was very impressive in his first start of the season and the highlight of his night was a fantastic goal to open his Ligue 1 account. The youngster has now mounted one goal and one assist over his past three appearances (one start) and with the departure of Jonathan Ikone he may gain a far more prominent role for the rest of the season.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Bamba - Quiet in win midweek Bamba had one shot (on target), one chance created and one dribble in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Bamba was pretty quiet yet again and he's now barely delivered anything, statistically, in his two matches in 2022. Another one is quickly coming up this weekend but with just one assist and no goals all season it'll be hard to trust him to get his big break exactly now.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Burak Yilmaz - Takes five shots versus Lorient Yilmaz had five shots (one on target), two crosses (none accurate), two aerials won and two fouls drawn in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Yilmaz turned in another very active display that never really fully realized its potential. It's been that kind of an year for him the effort and the running in his legs are always there but he just hasn't had his magical touch from last season.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan David - Quiet in win over Lorient David had one shot (off target), two dribbles and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact David had a quiet one here despite Lille's domination and has now scored just once in last four matches. The forward had back to back poor statistical outputs and doesn't seem to have arrived in 2022 just yet. With 15 scores across all competitions this season already though he could probably afford some downtime.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Weah - Returns off bench Wednesday Weah played 22 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lorient.

Impact With Jonathan Ikone out of the club and Weah now back healthy the latter should take on even bigger role on the wing than earlier in the season and his fantasy upside could spike rapidly. He may be a prime candidate to start as soon as this weekend even.
