Ousmane Dembélé - Suffers quadriceps injury Dembele (quadriceps) suffered an injury in Thursday's 5-4 defeat in the semi final of the Nations League against Spain, forcing him off in the 76th minute, according to Le Parisien...

Impact Dembele had a difficult outing on Thursday as he failed to register a goal contribution and was forced off midway through the second half with a quadriceps injury. He will undergo exams in the coming days to determine his availability for Sunday's third-place match against Germany. A serious injury would be a major setback for France but even more so for Paris Saint-Germain who face Atletico in their first Club World Cup group stage match in less than 10 days. If the Ballon d'Or candidate has to miss time, Bradley Barcola could take on a bigger role in the frontline for both teams.

Bradley Barcola - Concludes breakout season Barcola started in 27 of his 34 appearances while recording 14 goals on 74 shots and 10 assists on 50 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Barcola started to break on the scene last campaign when he closed the season on a hot streak and continued his success into the club's next season, having bagged an exceptional 24 goal contributions. His 14 goals and 10 assists were both career-highs for the 22-year-old, being an integral part of their starting stages of the season. However, he did start to see less time at the end of the campaign with Desire Doue breaking out as well, with Barcola now competing with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele and Doue for time.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Desire Doue - Breaks on to the scene with PSG Doue started in 18 of his 31 appearances while recording six goals on 55 shots and six assists on 55 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Doue joined PSG this season from Rennes and took a bit of time to get going this season after a slow first half of the campaign. However, he would turn it on in the second half of the campaign, bagging all but three of his goal contributions after the start of January. He would then mainly see a starting role for the club, even breaking onto the scene in UCL play with his eight goal contributions and a UCL championship at the age of 19. He looks likely to continue in the attack with the club next season, although he will still have to battle amongst Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for minutes, as rarely are all four on the field at the same time.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goncalo Ramos - 10 goals despite rotational role Ramos started in 12 of his 22 appearances while notching 10 goals on 55 shots and three assists on 15 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Ramos saw a rotational role yet again for the club in his second season with the club, earning just over 1,000 minutes of play. Despite this, he would still bag 10 goals, even earning a hat-trick in the final stages of the season. He is a forward who holds the ability to score whenever he is on the field, a real threat on his day. However, with so much competition and the forward averaging a goal every five and a half shots, not the greatest record, he will likely continue in his rotational role.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Ruiz - Maintains role in midfield Ruiz started in 21 of his 30 appearances while recording four goals on 43 shots and five assists on 36 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Ruiz completed his third straight season for PSG this campaign, working into what is considered a starting role in a squad that rotates often, with his 21 starts. He would earn his highest amount of goal contributions in a season since moving to the club, four more than his previous best. He still has two more years on his contract, and after another decent campaign and a great Euro 2024 with Spain during the summer, he is likely to see a big role again next season.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Zaire-Emery - Finds role as utility player Zaire-Emery started in 23 of his 29 appearances while notching one goal on 17 shots and two assists on 18 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Zaire-Emery has broken out each of the past few seasons and continues to see more time as he has worked into 29 appearances this campaign. He would see so much time due to his ability to play multiple roles, playing anywhere in the midfield while also playing right-back. He will hope that he can work into a regular role soon, although with so much competition in the team, much more than his current role seems unlikely.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lee Kang-in - Completes second season with PSG Lee started in 19 of his 30 appearances while notching six goals on 41 shots and six assists on 57 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Lee saw his second season with PSG pass in yet another rotational role, starting in around half of their matches while appearing in nearly every single league game. He would improve on his stats as well, recording 12 goal contributions compared to his seven in his first year with the club. He seems to be behind a decent pecking order of players, and his role doesn't seem likely to grow anytime soon, especially after he only appeared in four of their final 13 games, possibly falling out of his role a bit as we enter the new season.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Senny Mayulu - Breaking into squad Mayulu started in eight of his 20 appearances while notching two goals on 25 shots and two assists on 12 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Mayulu started to break into the squad last season but earned even more of a rotational role in the 2024/25 season after appearing in 20 games. He would add to that with his four-goal contributions, ending the season on a hot streak with three straight games with a goal contribution, as he found the back of the net in the UCL final as well. This is solid news after his contract with the club until 2027 last season, hopeful to make an even bigger impact this next season and work into another contract.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - 10 goal contribution season Hakimi started in 24 of his 25 appearances while notching four goals on 32 shots and six assists on 50 chances created to go along with 80 crosses in Ligue 1.

Impact Hakimi finished his fourth season as a starter for UCL in great form, not only helping the team to a UCL title but also hitting 10 goal contributions in Ligue 1 for the first time. That said, he was at his best in his two-way role this campaign, normally viewed all over the field and not playing true to his right-back role. He is an instant sparkplug for the club when on the field and continues to be one of the world's best in his role, likely to continue terrorizing both offense and defenses. His 10 goal contributions are a good mark, although that is easily a total he could top next campaign.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marquinhos - Stalwart season in defense Marquinhos started in 19 of his 22 appearances while notching two goals on eight shots in Ligue 1.

Impact Marquinhos was back with PSG for a 12th season this campaign and finally reached the goal he was brought into the club for by winning a UCL final. That said, he would still see a starting role and was a mainstay per usual, missing a few matches here and there, but mainly in the starting XI. He remains on contract for a few more seasons and should continue in a starting role, although his best years are likely closing as he is now 31.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nuno Mendes - Regular sight at left-back Mendes started in 19 of his 24 appearances while registering two goals on 21 shots and three assists on 30 chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Mendes struggled for time last season due to an injury, but was back to the starting role at left-back he held the previous two seasons, starting in all but five of his league appearances this season. He would see a solid season in his two-way role, occasionally making runs up the flank to provide five-goal contributions while also being a solid one-on-one defender against some of the world's best attackers. He holds great value when it comes to full-backs that can attack and should be a piece of the squad for a while, especially after helping them to a UCL title.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Willian Pacho - Starting role first season in Paris Pacho started in 23 of his 28 appearances while notching one assist on three chances created in Ligue 1.

Impact Pacho moved to PSG from Frankfurt this summer and immediately imposed his force on the team by earning a starting role in the season opener that he wouldn't give up. The Ecuadorian would then team up with Marquinhos to make a formidable South American pairing in the center of the defense, with Pacho only missing the start on a few occasions. He would earn one assist due to his occasional shifts forward to cut off the breakout pass and he can be a bit of a ball-playing defender, but this is a rare occasion for the mainly defensive-minded center-back.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Hernandez - Falls to rotational role Hernandez started in 10 of his 16 appearances in Ligue 1.

Impact Hernandez saw a drop-off in time this season as he appeared to take on more of a rotational role, only seeing the field in about half of the club's matches this campaign. This comes after seeing the majority of a starting role last season, although Nuno Mendes now holds most of the time at left-back. He is in year three of five on his contract with PSG, so he should return to that role next season, likely to remain their first or second option off the bench in the defense.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Soler - Returning from loan Soler made 31 appearances (14 starts) scoring and assisting once while on loan with West Ham from PSG.

Impact Soler is set to return to PSG at the end of his loan and has been linked with a move elsewhere in Europe. There's little chance he actually even returns to Paris, as the club reportedly has no interest in keeping him around. Soler's best seasons came in Spain, as he's struggled for production elsewhere.

JUNE 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Nearly phased out of team Kimpembe appeared twice for 21 minutes of play in Ligue 1.

Impact Kimpembe has watched his career spiral over the past few seasons after suffering a torn Achilles. He would take nearly two years off recovering from the injury, which appeared to have a major effect on his situation at the club, going from an everyday starter to not having a role in the team. It is unknown if he will be able to regain a spot in the team over the last season of his contract, likely only earning a rotational role even if he can get back up to his previous levels.

JUNE 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Matvey Safonov - Serves as Parisians backup in net Safonov started in nine of his 10 appearances while notching three clean sheets, nine goals allowed and 17 saves in Ligue 1.

Impact Safonov was brought into Paris this season but was never going to be the first option, instead sitting behind one of the world's best goalies in Gianluigi Donnarumma. He would still get to appear in quite a few games due to an injury to Donnarumma, appearing in 10 league matches. His role is unlikely to change next campaign, likely to be a backup until either he or Donnarumma makes a switch.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembélé - Registers pair of assists Dembele assisted twice to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-0 win against Inter Milan.

He would also receive a goal in the dying minutes, scoring in the 86th minute just after entering the field.

Achraf Hakimi - Nets opening goal Hakimi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-0 win versus Inter Milan. In addition, he was given a y...

Impact Hakimi would waste no time in getting PSG an early lead Saturday after he would find the back of the net just six minutes in after a beautifully worked play. This would be the highlight of his match, as despite being involved all over the field, he would see more play in the buildup for the rest of the match. This is a second straight match with a goal in UCL play to end the season, notching four goals and five assists in 17 UCL appearances this campaign.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kvaratskhelia finished off a treble-filled season with a UCL final win Saturday, scoring in the 73rd minute of the contest. This means the attacker ends the season with goals in consecutive games, as he saw a brace in their Ligue 1 season finale. He would be a crucial piece of their UCL campaign after joining midway through the campaign, bagging three goals and two assists in nine appearances (eight starts).

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Desire Doue - Excels in PSGs UCL triumph Doue scored two goals and assisted once from four shots and three chances created in Saturday's 5-0 win versus Inter Milan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minu...

The attacker finishes a promising debut season with PSG in strong UCL form, bagging five goals and three assists in 16 appearances (eight starts).
