Remains unavailable Paulinho (illness) will miss out against Koln on Wednesday.

Impact Considering Paulinho has started just once in his last five appearances, he should be considered a long shot to make the starting XI even once cleared to play. Without a clear path to consistent minutes, Paulinho shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Out with illness Paulinho will miss Sunday's match against Union Berlin due to a cold.

Impact Paulinho had started once in the last seven matches before Sunday, spending each of the last two games on the bench. He's had a tough time finding his place in the team and will hope for better things in 2023.

Efficient as substitute Paulinho scored a goal with his lone shot during Saturday's 4-0 win over Schalke.

Impact Paulinho entered the match in the 88th minute and scored just two minutes into his appearance for Leverkusen's final goal. The goal was the first of the season for the attacker as he's been out of favor at the club, playing just 26 minutes so far this season.

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again Paulinho scored once on one shot during Monday's 2-0 win over Frankfurt.

Impact Paulinho scored for another match and now has scored all four of his goals for the season in his last six appearances. While it's been a quiet year for the midfielder that's less than surprising as he has only joined the first team due to injuries to players ahead of him on the depth chart. Paulinho should be a solid fantasy option for the final two matches of the season.

Third goal of season Paulinho scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing once accurately and creating a chance during Saturday's 4-1 win over Greuther Furth.

Unlikely to play Paulinho (illness) is no longer in quarantine, and is resuming team training, according to manager Gerardo Seoane.

Impact Paulinho is making his way back from COVID-19 and while he is no longer in quarantine he still needs to return to fitness. The midfielder is unlikely to take part Saturday and is a fringe option even when fit. Paulinho will hope to return to the team after the international break.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with COVID-19 Paulinho tested positive for COVID-19 and has entered a quarantine, Leverkusen announced Tuesday.

Impact Paulinho will likely miss Saturday's clash against Monchengladbach while in isolation, but he has started just six Bundesliga games for Leverkusen so far this season.

JANUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances in draw Paulinho had one off-target shot and created two chances during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Hertha Berlin.

Impact Paulinho made his second consecutive start, benefiting from the injury bug that hit Leverkusen attackers recently. He always tried his best to generate offense, even creating a couple of chances, but once again most of his impact couldn't reflect on the stat sheet. The youngster is yet to score this season and his next chance to open the scoring account will come during Nov. 20 home clash against Bochum.

NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Assists with lone chance created Paulinho had an assist with his lone chance created during Saturday's match with Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Paulinho set u Florian Wirtz in the ninth minute helping to open the scoring in the match. The assist was the first of the season for the winger, coming from his lone chance created before his substitution in the 63rd minute.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Gladbach Paulinho is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Monchengladbach.

Impact Paulinho is back in the XI Saturday after playing 14 minutes off the bench in the opener. It looks like he's ready to go following his participation in the Olympics and in a new season, he figures to be a key piece for Leverkusen without Leon Bailey in the squad.

Set to start season opener Paulinho (not injury related) is fit and available against Union Berlin on Saturday. Manager Gerardo Seoane told reporters, "Paulinho is back - he immediately fit in well and made...

Impact Without the same summer break as his contemporaries, there was certainly some concern whether Paulinho would be able to play after featuring for Brazil at the 2020 Olympics. The forward's availability will help fill the gap caused by Florian Wirtz's (groin) absence.

AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two shots off bench in win Paulinho had two shots on goal and two foul committed afert coming off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 win over Egypt.

Impact Paulinho was brought in the 54th minute, replacing the injured Matheus Cunha (hamstring), and had a pair of chances to double Brazil's lead, but was stopped by the goalkeeper in both occasions. If Cunha isn't able to be back for Tuesday's semifinal against Mexico, Paulinho can appear in the starting XI for the first time in this tournament.

AUGUST 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal off bench Paulinho scored a goal on two shots (one on target) after coming in as a substitute in the 74th minute versus Germany on Thursday.

Impact Paulinho made the most of his 16-minute outing, as he also added two crosses (zero accurate) and one interception. With a deep Brazilian squad, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI during the Olympic tournament but could certainly provide solid fantasy value if he does feature at any point.
