Nets rare goal Lacroix scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Lacroix popped up with a rare goal from central defense, getting forward and making the most of his only shot.

Still Lacroix is a solid defensive option and this goal upside is a nice boon.

Unused in final four matches Lacroix made nine starts in the first 10 matches before going unused in the final four matches before the Winter break.

Impact Lacroix has fallen out of favor entirely, becoming a purely bench option in the final four matches. Lacroix had rumors swirling around him at the Summer transfer deadline, and could be on the move during the Winter transfer window. Micky van de Ven has taken on a starting role and excelled, making Lacroix less of a requirement.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven clearances in draw Lacroix made three tackles (all won), seven clearances, two interceptions and one block during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Augsburg.

Impact Lacroix was a key presence at the heart of the defense, leading his side in three stat categories with season highs in both tackles and clearances. His strong play was definitely one of the biggest reasons why Wolfsburg could escape with at least one point despite being under pressure during most of the second half. Lacroix is one of Bundesliga's most productive center-backs for fantasy purposes but will need more help from his defensive partners to achieve more collective success.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy defensively Lacroix had one tackle (zero won), four clearances, and four interceptions in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Lacroix had plenty to do to try and shut down an unstoppable Bayern attack, and filled the stat sheet in the loss. The central defender won't have any matches as tough as this one moving forward, except for the reverse fixture. Lacroix will hope to bounce back in more favorable matches moving forward after Wolfsburg started the season with one point from the opening two matches.

Twenty-nine starts once more Lacroix made 29 starts, totaling 59 tackles throughout the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

The defender once again found himself right at the center of the defense, and put together another season with 2,500 minutes. Lacroix's biggest struggle throughout the 2021/22 season were red cards as he saw three over the course of the campaign. If Lacroix can avoid those suspensions he should be set for a season playing in every match, and likely going the full 90 in nearly all of those matches.

Impact Lacroix saw his side allowing two goals in four minutes, but then bounced back and was having a solid performance, with one of his best stat lines of the season so far. Though, in the 90th minute the centre back ruined definitely his fantasy output, heading the ball into his own net when tried to clear a cross from the left. Up next for Lacroix is Wednesday's pivotal UCL match against Lille.
