Fills stat sheet in return Lacroix had one off-target shot while making two tackles (one won), six clearances, five interceptions and one block during Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League loss against Sevilla.

Impact Lacroix made his return to the team after serving a two-match domestic ban and had his usual big numbers on the defensive end, which included a season-high five interceptions. The centre back one of Wolfsburg's most reliable players for fantasy purposes and will probably be in very high demand during Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Suspended for two games Lacroix will miss the next two games due to a suspension from a red card during Saturday's clash with Leverkusen.

Impact Lacroix will be sidelined for two games after a bad tackle during Saturday's match. The defender just returned from another suspension, played one game, and is immediately suspended for two more matches. At this point it's hard to trust Lacroix as a fantasy asset until he can stay on the pitch.

Makes four interceptions in defeat Lacroix delivered one cross (zero accurate), made four interceptions and won six duels in Saturday's 2-0 loss to FC Freiburg.

Available Saturday Lacroix is available for Saturday's clash with Freiburg, after finishing his suspension.

Impact Lacroix should be straight back into the starting XI, as he has been for most of the season. The defender was stout in the Champions League on Wednesday, so he may not play the full 90 due to rest. With how crucial he is to the defense there's a chance he may still play the full match to try and break the horrid run of form Wolfsburg currently find themselves in.

Leader in blocks, clearances Lacroix blocked a shot, made three interceptions, a tackle (winning it) and five clearances during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Salzburg.

Impact Lacroix was a part of the Wolfsburg back line that conceded three goals during Wednesday's defeat. The centerback finished with the second highest amount of interceptions on the team while leading Wolfsburg in blocks and clearances in the loss.

Sent off against Gladbach Lacroix received a red card in the 76th minute of Saturday's defeat against Monchengladbach following a foul on Breel Embolo for his second booking of the game. He created a chance...

Impact Lacroix was lucky in that Koen Casteels saved Lars Stindl's attempt on the ensuing penalty from his foul, but the damage had already been done beforehand. Lacroix will be suspended for the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin after the international break on Oct. 16. Sebastiaan Bornauw will likely partner John Brooks in central defense in his absence.

Inks extension Lacroix signed a contract extension with Wolfsburg on Thursday that will keep him with the club through 2025.

Impact Including a pair of Champions League contests, Lacroix has started all eight of the club's matches this year in which he registered 37 clearances, 14 tackles (12 won) and 10 interceptions. While the central defender won't offer much in the way of fantasy value outside of defensive stats, he'll remain a fixture in the starting XI moving forward.
