Mattia Aramu - Six crosses in loss Aramu sent in six crosses (one accurate), creating two chances during Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Milan.

Impact Aramu sent in six crosses from his role on the right side of the attack, but failed to get much done beyond that. The forward was unable to get on the score sheet, and hasn't since he made his debut this season against Empoli. He will face a tough task against his old club, Torino on Monday.

Niki Maenpaa - Concedes twice in loss Maenpaa made one save and conceded twice during the 2-1 loss to Spezia on Sunday.

Impact Maenpaa was subpar at best during the loss Sunday. The keeper continued his average performances this season and he took another loss along with it. Maenpaa has not been needed much so far with a total of 10 shots on net in three matches. However, out of those ten shots he has conceded half of them. Until he can start making more saves, he can be passed for safer options.

Gianluca Busio - Records first point with Venezia Busio assisted once, produced two shots (one on target), created two chances, sent four crosses (one accurate), took one corner, made one tackle (one won) and received one yellow c...

Impact Busio has yet to truly produce in Seria A since his arrival from Sporting Kansas City of the MLS. In his three appearances so far, he is averaging, 1.0 shots, 1.33 created chances, 3.0 crosses, 1.0 corners and 3.33 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions. Those are solid numbers, however, they are not up to par with his full potential. Granted it will take time and he will eventually be one of the better midfielders in the league.

Pietro Ceccaroni - Scores first career goal Ceccaroni scored once, took two shots (two on target), made two tackles (one won) and intercepted once in the 2-1 loss to Spezia on Sunday.

Impact Ceccaroni provided his best all-around performance this season during the loss Sunday. The defender had his first two shots of the season and they were both off set-pieces. He also scored his first career goal off a terrific header from a set-piece. Ceccaroni is typically known for his defensive capabilities. However, if he can start providing a physical presence on set-pieces, his ceiling will start to rise rapidly.

Dennis Johnsen - Creates six chances in 2-1 loss Johnsen took one shot (none on target), created six chances, sent seven crosses (one accurate) and made two tackles (two won) during the 2-1 loss to Spezia on Sunday.

Impact Johnsen has not done much this season, but if there is one thing he has been consistent with it is creating chances. In his four appearances this season he is averaging, 1.25 shots, 2.5 created chances, 2.75 crosses and 0.5 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions. The loss to Spezia was easily the best performance for Johnsen and if he can continue this performance, he will make a name for himself very quickly.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David Okereke - Took two shots in loss Okereke took two shots (none on target), created one chance and sent one cross (none accurate) during the 2-1 loss to Spezia on Sunday.

Impact Okereke was average in the loss Sunday. The forward did have a cross to his name and he created his first chance of the season. However, he did tie his season-low in shots (2). Outside of his single goal this season, he has yet to truly produce for Venezie this season. For the time being, there are safer options.
