Stefano Moreo - Scores equalizing goal Moreo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Cagliari.

Impact Moreo came off the bench in the second half, but made a huge impact as he equalized the game in the 89th minute with a well-placed finish. The goal marked his first of the season.

Matteo Tramoni - Scores in draw Tramoni scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Cagliari.

Impact Tramoni notched his first goal of the season as he opened up the scoring with a penalty in the 45th minute. The goal came against the team he made his Serie A debut in 2020.

Adrian Semper - Concedes twice in draw Semper registered three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Cagliari.

Impact Semper allowed two goals as he made three saves in the draw against Cagliari. Both goals occurred in the second half as Pisa lost a one goal lead. Next, he'll face off against Juventus, a team with 21 goals in 15 games.

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro - Unavailable because of AFCON Akinsanmiro has been called up by Nigeria for AFCON 2025.

Impact Akinsanmiro will take part in the tournament amid a breakout season during which he has been regular almost from the get-go. Marius Marin, Stefano Piccinini and Isak Vural will replace him in the midfield, as they did when he recently skipped a couple of games because of a shoulder injury.

Mehdi Leris - Makes four tackles in loss Leris made four tackles (one won), one clearance, two interceptions and two blocks during Friday's 1-0 loss against Lecce.

Impact Leris returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench in each of the last two contests and made most of the chance despite being on the losing side as he didn't allow the opposition to create anything from his flank with his disruptive approach. The full-back has been showing that he can contribute on both sides of the ball but rarely can put it all together in the same game. With his lack of goals and assists, he definitely needs more well-rounded stat lines to be considered a reliable fantasy pick.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Canestrelli - Busy defensively in loss Canestrelli had one off-target shot and made two tackles and eight clearances during Friday's 1-0 loss against Lecce.

Impact Canestrelli had another brilliant performance at the heart of the defense and was one of the main reasons why his team was able to keep the opposition scoreless for so much time. The center-back couldn't prevent the goal that sealed the loss but it doesn't take any shine of what he keeps doing game after game. The 91 clearances put Canestrelli at the fifth place among all Serie A players in the category but his average over the last four starts (7.8) indicates that he can keep rising on the rankings.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Semper - Allows one in loss Semper made two saves and conceded one goal during Friday's 1-0 loss against Lecce.

Impact Semper returned to the team after missing the last two games and was able to keep the opposition scoreless for most of the contest with some help from their lack of accuracy in front of the net. However, he couldn't do much when substitute Nikola Stulic anticipated the defender inside the six-yard box to slot home a pass from the left and ruin what would've been the fifth clean sheet over the last nine starts for the goalkeeper. Semper, who's still tied for sixth among his Serie A peers with 44 saves, will try to bounce back during Dec. 21 visit to Cagliari.

Idrissa Toure - Active display in loss Toure had three shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in five crosses (two accurate), made three clearances and was shown a yellow card during Monday's 1-0 loss against...

Impact Toure was very active on both sides of the ball, especially on offense as he made most of any space given to him to create a lot from his right flank and even finish some plays himself. With seven shots, eight chances created, 11 crosses, four tackles, 11 clearances and five interceptions over his last four starts, the midfielder keeps showing his two-way fantasy potential and could be considered one of his team's most reliable assets.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Scuffet - Allows PK goal in loss Scuffet made one save and conceded a penalty goal during Monday's 1-0 loss against Parma.

Impact Scuffet did a little bit better in his second start of the season as he was only beaten from the penalty spot. Other than that, the goalkeeper showed a lot of safety and his lone save was definitely a big one that kept his side in contention. The fact that Scuffet started even with Adrian Semper (illness) recovered may say something and either could get the not for upcoming games.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

M'bala Nzola - Hit with three-game suspension Nzola has been banned for three matches for violently kicking an opponent in the leg while the ball was beyond his reach, the League announced.

Impact Nzola will mostly serve his punishment while starring for Angola in AFCON 2025, which will keep him away from the team for an indefinite period of time. Henrik Meister and Stefano Moreo will lead the attack while he's out, and Matteo Tramoni and Lorran could also play more than usual depending on some tactical choices.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Esteves - DNP in Parma match Esteves (thigh) was an unused sub for Monday's 1-0 defeat against Parma.

Impact Esteves was an option for the first time since September, but the match hung in the balance until late. He hasn't played in nearly two years due to consecutive injuries. He'll be an extra option on the two flanks, but he'll have at least a couple of players ahead of him in the pecking order in each position.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Vural - Doesn't sub in against Parma Vural (knee) wasn't deployed during Monday's 1-0 loss to Parma.

Impact Vural recuperated from a minor injury, but the coach made different choices in the midfield, and the return of Ebenezer Akinsanmiro didn't help. He has also fallen behind Gabriele Piccinini in recent fixtures, so he'll have to seize his opportunities to earn a role in the rotation.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Mateus Lusuardi - DNP against Parma Lusuardi (knee) stayed on the bench for Monday's 1-0 defeat versus Parma.

Impact Lusardi recovered from a fairly serious knee injury, but he's the fifth or sixth option in a three-man line, so he'll have to wait for some injuries or declines in form to resume playing after getting some burn early in the season.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro - Creates four chances against Parma Akinsanmiro (shoulder) had three crosses (two accurate), one tackle (one won) and four key passes in 45 minutes in Monday's 1-0 loss to Parma.

Impact Akinsanmiro put up strong numbers despite playing only one half, setting a new season high in chances created and matching the one in crosses. He'll likely return to the starting XI against Lecce on Friday, replacing either Marius Marin or Gabriel Piccinini. He has notched one or more tackles in his last five showings, amassing eight (four won) and adding six key passes, five shots (one on target) and six clearances over that span.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

M'bala Nzola - Sent off late against Parma Nzola picked up a red card in the 93rd minute of Monday's 1-0 loss to Pisa after registering five shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate).

Impact Nzola led his side in attempts but squandered a few good opportunities and decided to kick an opponent from the back out of frustration during the stoppage time. He'll be unavailable for Friday's match versus Lecce, which was set to be his final one before leaving for AFCON. Stefano Moreo and Matteo Tramoni will absorb his minutes next to Henrik Meister.

DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro - Bench option for Parma game Akinsanmiro (shoulder) will begin as a sub in Monday's match against Parma.

Impact Akinsanmiro is good to go after a two-game absence, but he won't be rushed into the starting lineup and will eventually provide his contribution in the second half.

DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Semper - Not starting versus Parma Semper (illness) is in the initial XI to face Parma on Monday.

Impact Semper is back from an illness, but the coach decided to stick with Simone Scuffet, who stepped up last week. Semper didn't have blunders but wasn't superb either, so he might have to wait for a while for his next opportunity if his rival fares well.

Mateus Lusuardi - Option for Parma fixture Lusuardi (knee) "will be back with the squad Monday," coach Alberto Gilardino announced.

Impact Lusuardi is fit again after missing about six weeks because of a knee injury. He had started thrice before getting hurt, logging two tackles (two won), 12 clearances and five blocks, with no clean sheets, although he had already ceded the starting job to Simone Canestrelli.

DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Vural - Good to go for Parma match Vural (knee) "will be selected for Monday," coach Alberto Gilardino informed.

Impact Vural has quickly recuperated from a nagging knee issue and will resume being a deep option in the midfield, where Gabriele Piccinini and Marius Marin have been playing more than usual lately. Presumptive starter Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is also back from a shoulder injury for this one. Vural has notched two ket passes, four crosses (one accurate), two tackles and four clearances in six seasonal appearances (three strts).

DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Semper - Fit for Parma bout Semper "has shaken off his illness, but he and Simone Scuffet will compete going forward," coach Alberto Gilardino communicated.

Impact Semper will return from a one-game absence but isn't a lock to be back in the starting lineup, as his deputy showed well last week. He had gotten the game in every match beforehand, keeping four clean sheets, making 42 saves and allowing 16 goals in 12 showings.

DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Esteves - Called up for Parma tilt Esteves (thigh) "will be with us Monday," coach Alberto Gilardino communicated.

Impact Esteves has completed his recovery from a thigh strain he suffered in late September. He has yet to debut this campaign since he missed some matches due to a previous Achilles injury early on. He'll provide depth on both wings once ready to log some minutes.

DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro - Available versus Parma Akinsanmiro (shoulder) "will be part of the squad for Monday," coach Alberto Gilardino announced.

Impact Akinsanmiro has recovered fairly quickly from a shoulder sprain and will be in contention with Marius Marin and Gabriele Piccinini, depending on how many minutes he can handle right after a two-game layoff. He was a surefire starter before the injury, notching one assist, six shots (one on target), five crosses (zero accurate) and seven tackles (three won) in his last five showings.
