Carlos Soler - Scores, assists in 5-0 rout Soler scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 win over AJ Auxerre.

Impact Soler didn't have many opportunities up front but he was absolutely clinical with the few that opened up ahead of him and made the most of this game. He's found a regular role of late and heads to Qatar in a stellar form after three goals and one assist over his past five matches (three starts).

Neymar - Takes two shots in 5-0 romp Neymar had two crosses (zero accurate), two chances created, three fouls drawn and three corners in Sunday's 5-0 victory versus AJ Auxerre.

Impact Neymar was a bit quiet here for his standards but that may have been expected given it was the last game before the World Cup. The playmaker heads to Qatar in a stellar form though after scoring in each of his previous four matches while adding two assists for good measure over the same period.

Lionel Messi - Logs two shots in 5-0 rout Messi had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle (won) in Sunday's 5-0 win against AJ Auxerre.

Impact Messi was a bit quiet here for his standards but that may have been expected given it was the last game before the World Cup. It was the first time in 13 appearances that Messi failed to put a shot on target. The maestro heads to Qatar in stellar form though after mounting four goals and six assists over his previous four starts alone.

Kylian Mbappe - Scores in drubbing win Mbappe scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two dribbles and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 5-0 victory against AJ Auxerre.

Impact Mbappe returned to the score sheet despite a fairly quiet affair for his standards but with the World Cup ahead even that goal is more than what would be expected of him. The starlet heads to Qatar in a stellar form overall though with eight goals in as many matches while adding five assists for good measure over the same period.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Renato Sanches - Scores off bench in 5-0 romp Sanches scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 5-0 victory versus AJ Auxerre.

Impact Sanches bagged his first goal since August and second in PSG colors though the midfielder has been on the bench now in four consecutive matches and with just three starts all season will remain with very limited fantasy upside as well. He also didn't get a Portugal call for the World Cup.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Ekitike - Scores, assists off bench in rout Ekitike scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Sunday's 5-0 victory over AJ Auxerre.

Impact Ekitike was clinical despite only appearing briefly and with one goal and two assists in last two matches seems to be coming to his own in PSG colors though he should still remain mostly in reserve role after the break.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - Scores in shutout victory Hakimi held a clean sheet and scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 5-0 victory over AJ Auxerre.

Impact Hakimi has been on fire again of late and continues to log major contribution after major contribution now grabbing one goal, one assist and three clean sheets over his past six starts alone and will head to Qatar in top form.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nuno Mendes - Gets assist, clean sheet Mendes held a clean sheet and assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate), two tackles (one won) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 win versus AJ Auxerre.

Impact Mendes seem to be clicking on all cylinders again now after recently shaking off a rough injury and with one goal, one assist, one clean sheet, five crosses and nine tackles over his past three matches (two starts) he's been a fantasy beast again.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Verratti - Wins two tackles versus Auxerre Verratti had three tackles (two won) and team-high 87 passes completed in Sunday's 5-0 win versus AJ Auxerre.

Impact Verratti continues to play an integral role in the middle of the park and has a lot on the ball though his stats unfortunately matter much in very few fantasy formats.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Ramos - Wins three aerials in shutout win Ramos held a clean sheet and hauled in three aerials won and five clearances in Sunday's 5-0 victory over AJ Auxerre.

Impact Ramos was very solid defensively and helped for his team's first clean sheet in five matches. He's kept producing steady defensive numbers this season and has showed some decent offensive upside of late too after mounting one assist, three crosses and four shots over his past four matches alone.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nordi Mukiele - Holds clean sheet in victory Mukiele held a clean sheet and had one shot (zero on goal), two blocked shots, three aerials won and five clearances in Sunday's 5-0 victory versus AJ Auxerre.

Impact Mukiele was terrific defensively helping at center-back in place of injured Marquinhos and earned his third clean sheet in his last four starts. He's found some decent playing time of late and does offer a solid upside in many formats.

Keylor Navas - Caught in travel issues Navas isn't able to join his national team for training in Kuwait due to issues with his plane tickets, according to Daniel Jimenez of TeleTica.com.

Impact Navas no longer appears to be dealing with a back issue but still needs to join his teammates to prepare for Costa Rica's efforts in the World Cup. If the Ticos are going to shock the tournament as they did in 2014, Navas will be pivotal to their chances.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Sarabia - Remains in limited role Sarabia played 15 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 5-0 win over Auxerre.

Impact Sarabia remains in a very limited role with no starts in over a month now. With just four starts all season he'll be hard to trust in long-term formats moving forward.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Keeps clean sheet in rout Donnarumma made three saves en route to a clean sheet in Sunday's 5-0 win over Auxerre.

Impact Donnarumma will head to the break on a high with his first clean sheet in last five matches and will hope he can return to doing so on regular basis after the World Cup as he's already mounted nine shutouts across all competitions this season.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Won't go to Qatar Kimpembe has been removed from the squad due to lack of fitness and has been replaced by Axel Disasi, France announced.

Impact Kimpembe recently returned from an Achilles tendon injury and previously missed six weeks due to a hamstring injury. He wasn't deemed healthy enough by coach Didier Deschamps, who had originally selected him. The other defenders on the roster are Lucas Hernandez, Jules Kounde, Ibrahima Konate, Benjamin Pavard, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano, and Raphael Varane.
