OCTOBER 30, 2021 • YOUTUBE

Wins four tackles in loss Dias made a clearance and won four of eight tackles in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace.

Impact Dias defended admirably Saturday after his center back partner Aymeric Laporte was sent off just before halftime, but he wasn't able to prevent Palace's goals in his side's upset defeat. On Wednesday he will face Club Brugge in the Champions League, having beaten them 5-1 in the reverse fixture on Oct. 19.

Takes one shot in 2-0 UCL loss Dias had one shot (on target), one interception and 50 passes completed in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to PSG.

Impact Dias was very quiet statistically in this one and his fantasy owners would want to scratch this one as quickly as possible. The center-back though has been surprisingly productive in fantasy lands thus far after notching two assists and five clean sheets over his previous six outings. He's also added some decent peripheral numbers on both sides of the ball.

Logs assist against RB Leipzig Dias provided one assist from one chance created and logged three tackles (zero won) during Wednesday's 6-3 win over RB Leipzig.

Impact Dias has logged two assists and three clean sheets over his last four starts across all competitions. Though the scoreline wasn't as clean as it has been for Dias in recent games, he's still put up some solid numbers for a defender who seldom has to make many plays. Up next is a visit from Southampton, which have scored four goals in four games this season.

Keeps clean sheet in win Dias kept the clean sheet with two chances created during Saturday's 1-0 win over Leicester City.

Impact Dias doesn't have the best defensive numbers but that's not the most surprising thing given how his team is set up. With six chances created and three clean sheets in the last three games, it's likely Dias contribute to a goal or save the final result without doing much of the work in between. Up next is Wednesday's UCL fixture against RB Leipzig.

Adds year to Man City contract Dias signed a new, six-year deal with Manchester City, keeping him at the club until 2027.

First Man City assists Dias provided one assist on two chances created during Saturday's 5-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Dias provided his first assist for Manchester City during Saturday's rout. With Nathan Ake joining The Sky Blue's it appears that Dias could be pushed for his starting job. That said he is one of the few City players who seems to have a somewhat stable starting spot. Next up is a Saturday clash with Arsenal.

Takes shot in 1-0 Euro defeat Dias had one shot (on target), three interceptions and three clearances in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Belgium.

Impact Dias was solid and turned in a solid defensive display while also threatening the opponent's goal once for his first shot of the campaign. The center-back will also finish with five tackles and 13 clearances for a clean sheet in his four starts though allowing seven goals in that span.

Allows two in draw to France Dias had three clearances and team-high 94 passes completed in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to France.

Impact Dias turned in another poor statistical outing and outside of clearances he hasn't delivered many consistent numbers. Portugal have also allowed six goals in last two matches and facing Belgium in the Roound of 16 won't make things much better.

Keeps clean sheet in win Dias kept a clean sheet with four tackles made (two won) and conceded a yellow card during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Hungary in Group F.

Impact Dias had a reasonable beginning to his first major international tournament as a starter but the yellow card limited his value. Much like his defensive partner in Pepe, the group stage will only get tougher from here against Germany and France. This means that keeping fouls to a minimum will be integral to Dias maintaining good fantasy value.

Adds another clean sheet Dias had one shot on target to go with a clean sheet in Sunday's 5-0 win against Everton.

Impact Dias didn't have much defensive work Sunday, but that didn't stop him from securing another clean sheet, even if somewhat lucky because of a saved PK. He was awesome in his debut season for Man City, keeping 15 clean sheets in 32 league starts, and he looks to be a fixture for seasons to come on the back line.
