Lionel Messi cements his GOAT status with a little help from his friends

Takes two shots in win De Paul took two shots (one on goal) and created one chance in 102 minutes of Sunday's World Cup final win over France after penalties.

Impact De Paul drew six fouls and did the hard work of absorbing as much pressure as he could so the attack could thrive. As the enforcer and protector for Lionel Messi in the 2021 Copa America win and now a World Cup, De Paul's value isn't seen in the stat sheet lately but tends to result in great things in the right places. Following some poor showings for club side Atletico Madrid, De Paul can use his efforts in Qatar as a springboard for the rest of the season.

Creates one chance in win De Paul created one chance from one cross and won one-of-two tackles in 74 minutes of Tuesday's semifinal against Croatia.

Impact De Paul hasn't completed the full 90 in two straight games but he's still created six chances in his last four starts. Given his role in filling space defensively as much as he gets forward, De Paul isn't always going to be the most valuable player even if he's integral to the Argentine team's tactical success.

Ready for Tuesday De Paul will be available for Tuesday's match against Croatia, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports.

Impact De Paul took two shots in 66 minutes of the quarterfinal win over the Netherlands and remains a key part of the lineup for the final week of the tournament. He's created five chances in the last three games and in order to beat a well-drilled team, De Paul's play in midfield will be key to competing for a title.

10 most important players still in World Cup 2022

Starting against Netherlands De Paul (strain) was named to the starting XI versus Netherlands on Friday.

Impact De Paul was limited in training during the lead-up to Friday's contest but has logged the full 90 in all four World Cup contests for Argentina. In those appearances, the midfielder registered two shots (one on target), eight crosses (one accurate) and four corners. While not the primary corner-taker, De Paul should still offer top-half fantasy value.

Does half of training De Paul (strain) only completed half of Wednesday's training session, manager Lionel Scaloni announced Thursday ahead of Friday's match against the Netherlands.

Impact De Paul has one more chance to return if he's back in Thursday's training session, otherwise he may miss Friday's contest and could be replaced by Guido Rodriguez or Leandro Paredes in the starting lineup. As the tempo-setter in midfield, De Paul would certainly be missed if he's out as he's created four chances in the last two games.

Expected to train Thursday De Paul is expected to test his muscular issue during Thursday's session, according to Gaston Edul.

Impact De Paul is expected to train with the first team to test the muscular issue he is dealing with. If he is able to practice with the team he could be in contention for a start Friday, though there's still a chance he could be ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup.

Misses training Wednesday De Paul had to train on his own during Wednesday's session due to a muscular issue and his status has been put into question for Friday's match against the Netherlands, according t...

Impact De Paul isn't the most productive player but his role in solidifying the midfield is integral to his team's success in recent international tournaments. If he does end up missing out, Guido Rodriguez could return to the lineup or Leandro Paredes will get a chance to start.

Creates three chances in WC win De Paul had two crosses (zero accurate), three chances created and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Australia.

Impact De Paul also added two tackles (one won) and two interceptions on the defensive side of the ball to turn in a magnificent display for a vital win. He's still without a major contribution in Qatar but has been productive in multiple peripheral categories and set pieces also boost his numbers seriously.

Scores goal against Leverkusen De Paul subbed into Wednesday's Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen at halftime and he scored a goal and created two chances in the 2-2 draw.

Impact De Paul notched the equalizing goal shortly after entering Wednesday's game at halftime for his second-ever UCL score, but it wasn't enough to keep Atletico's hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds alive. He has started two out of the last three La Liga matches on the right wing, but Angel Correa also has a strong claim to the position.
