The first international break has offered Roma a moment to measure the opening stretch of their Serie A season, and the figures around the squad underline how quickly certain players have moved to the centre of the club’s early campaign.
Three Roma players have recorded the largest increases in their fantasy football valuations after the first five league rounds, with Donyell Malen leading the way. The Dutch forward has begun with six goals in five appearances, lifting his value by 10 points from 84 at the start of the season to 94.
Malen’s impact has given Roma a reliable early source of goals, while Manu Koné has also made a strong case for his growing importance in midfield. His valuation has risen from 40 to 48, an increase of eight points, following a brace against Inter and an average fantasy rating of 8.
The third notable rise comes from Niccolò Pisilli. The midfielder has increased by six points, moving from 28 to 34 after scoring twice in Roma’s first five Serie A matches. His emergence has been one of the less expected features of the opening weeks, but his contribution has already been reflected in his changing valuation.
As Serie A prepares to resume after the national-team fixtures, Roma return with a number of players whose early performances have altered the picture around the squad. Malen’s goals, Koné’s influence and Pisilli’s two strikes have each supplied a different thread in the club’s opening chapter.
