Warren Zaire Emery - Goal saves UCL season Zaire-Emery scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Zaire-Emery is one of the sole reasons PSG is still alive in the UCL, scoring in the 56th minute to secure a draw and a place in the round of 16. This was the first goal for the midfielder in the UCL this season, giving him four goal contributions this campaign, also having three assists.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembele - Ban served Dembele served his one-match ban during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Dortmund.

Impact Dembele finished serving the one-match ban in the final match of the group stage. The forward is now eligible to return to the starting XI ahead of Bradley Barcola. When fit Dembele has been a consistent starter with 15 starts in 19 appearances in all competitions. Oddly he hasn't found much attacking joy in the Champions League going without a goal contribution in the group stage.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexandre Letellier - On bench against Dortmund Letellier (hip) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.

Impact Lettellier is back on the team sheet after making the bench against Dortmund following an absence due to a hip injury. The goalie will most likely remain on the bench in the upcoming matches, with Gianluigi Donnarumma having a firm grasp over the starting spot.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Suspended for another match Donnarumma will be suspended for Sunday's match against Lille, having been suspended for an additional match by the French League's governing body for a highly dangerous high kick...

Impact Donnarumma will not be available for a second league match in a row after receiving an additional match on his ban for a straight red card. He will still be an option for the club's match in the UCL against Dortmund on Wednesday but will be relieved of his service in net against Lille, as Arnau Tenas will most likely gain the start while he is banned. Donnarumma should return to the starting XI against Metz, recording eight clean sheets in 19 appearances this campaign.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keylor Navas - Absent again Wednesday Navas (back) will not be available versus Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.

Impact Navas has yet to get into a Ligue 1 or Champions League match for the club this season. While Gianluigi Donnarumma will get the start against Dortmund, the absence of Navas could impact the club's starting XI versus Lille on Sunday with Donnarumma suspended for that contest.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexandre Letellier - Named to traveling squad Letellier (hip) was included in the traveling squad ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Dortmund.

Impact Letellier is unlikely to feature in the starting XI ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, so his return to the squad should have minimal impact on fantasy players. Still, Donnarumma is suspended for an upcoming Ligue 1 clash with Lille on Sunday, which could open the door for Letllier to get a start.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Remains sidelined Wednesday Kimpembe (Achilles) was not included in the traveling squad to face Dortmund on Wednesday.

Impact Kimpembe has been training with the squad which seemed to indicate he would get back in the squad soon, however, his season-long absence continues. At this point, the defender should probably still be considered out indefinitely and could struggle to return prior to the winter break.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Zaire Emery - Plays 30 minutes in return Zaire-Emery returned to action Saturday against Nantes, registering zero stats but playing 30 minutes in the win.

Impact Zaire-Emery is back with the squad after a three-match absence due to an ankle injury, having played 30 minutes during the weekend. The midfielder will most likely return to the starting XI soon now that he is healthy, having only missed out on two starts before picking up his knock. He has two goals on 11 shots and five assists on 15 chances created in all competitions this season.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembele - Serving UCL suspension Dembele will not be eligible to face Dortmund on Wednesday due to a yellow-card suspension.

Leader PSG beats Nantes to stretch winning streak to 8 games in Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain has beaten Nantes 2-1 for an eighth straight win in the French league

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • Associated Press

Randal Kolo Muani - Goal scored as substitute Kolo Muani scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Nantes.

Impact Since late-November, Kolo Muani has operated as a substitute for Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 games, and the decision has paid off. During his last three substitute appearances, he scored two goals, the second of which was a game-winner Saturday.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bradley Barcola - Finally cores goal Barcola scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Nantes.

Impact It took a while, but Barcola finally has a goal in the 2023-24 Ligue 1. While the goal is not expected to significantly improve his standing in Paris Saint-Germain's team, he is at least back on goal-scoring track after going eight months without a goal in Ligue 1 action.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lee Kang-in - Eight crosses attempted as winger Lee recorded two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Nantes.

Impact Paris Saint-Germain's team has reverted back to a 4-3-3 formation. Lee has started at right wing for the team only twice, but both times paid great dividends. Lee attempted 20 crosses, 10 corners and six shots across the two appearances. Should the Korean play that position, fantasy managers can rely on him having a quantitative improvement in certain statistical categories.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitinha - Records assist Vitinha assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Nantes.

Impact Though unable to continue his Ligue 1 goal streak, Vitinha directly contributed to a goal scored by his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Bradley Barcola. The former has two goals and one assist across his last three Ligue 1 appearances, a run of form so good that it is now difficult to drop him.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - Attempts six crosses Hakimi generated one shot (zero on goal) and six crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 win against Nantes.

Impact For the first time since the PSG team's first game of its 2023-24 season, Hakimi logged more than five crosses across a single Ligue 1 matchup. However, he continues to be inaccurate with his crosses. Hakimi has not logged an accurate cross in Ligue 1 action since Sept. 15 and attempted 21 crosses since then. Until he can get his crossing consistency patched up, the right-back's value will likely continue coming from other categories.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keylor Navas - Out once again Navas (back) is out for Saturday's match against Nantes.

Impact Navas is still awaiting a return, being left out once again with a back injury. The goalie will hope to return sometime before the end of the year after training individually this week, but most likely still won't see any playing time, with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Arnau Tenas looking to have the option over Navas.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexandre Letellier - Out with injury Letellier (hip) is out for Saturday's match against Nantes.

Impact Letellier is not an option on Saturday after injuring his adductor midweek during training. This will leave PSG very thin in the goalkeeper department on Saturday, with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Keylor Navas and Sergio Rico also all being out.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Still out Kimpembe (Achilles) is out for Saturday's match against Nantes.

Impact Kimpembe looked to be trending towards a return this weekend after being fully integrated back with the team this week during training, but will still have to wait as the club seems to be taking his recovery very cautiously. There is hope he is back by their midweek match against Dortmund in the UCl, where he will most likely be a bench option if available as he tries to get back to 100 percent.
