Impact Nainggolan only held fantasy value Saturday from set pieces, something that doesn't happen every match because of who starts. He gets opportunities every match, but just three of his last 28 shots have come on target, limiting most of his upside.

However, he scored an outside of the box goal in a wild furry of events to clinch a crucial point in the final seconds of the match. Thanks to this goal, Cagliari still have life above the relegation battle. Nainggolan is a peripheral guy and a terrific streaming option.

Impact Nainggolan was rather active at both ends of the pitch and finished with a well-rounded stat line to show for it. While he's yet to make the scoresheet this season, he continues to play a vital role in the middle and will look to continue his strong form Sunday against Sampdoria.

Two shots in draw Nainggolan had two off-target shots, sent in three crosses (one accurate), made three tackles (one won) and picked up a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sassuolo.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Cagliari Nainggolan has joined Cagliari on a season-long loan from Inter, the clubs announced.

Impact Nainggolan is back for his third stint with the club after failing to play much at Inter in the first part of the season. The team moved quickly to replace Marko Rog, who suffered an ACL tear. Nainggolan will take his place, but the two have differet characteristics, which could lead to some rejiggering of the formation. He has recovered from a recent calf injury, but he will not be available for Sunday's match against Crotone as the transfer market window will officially kick off Monday.

Available off bench Nainggolan (illness) is an option off the bench against Monchengladbach on Wednesday.
