David Raum - Five crosses in draw Raum sent in five crosses (none accurate) during Sunday's two-all draw with Union Berlin.

Impact Raum sent in five crosses, but failed to find any friendly targets. The defender doesn't have big offensive upside but he still can put together some solid defensive counting. Raum will be tested Friday, away to Dortmund.

Angelo Stiller - First assist Stiller provided one assist on three chances created during Sunday's two-all draw with Union Berlin.

Impact Stiller grabbed his first career assist during Sunday's draw, putting together a solid performance all-around. The midfielder had a majorly productive match and has started two in a row, it appears he is carving a spot out in the starting XI. Next up is a tough Friday trip away to Dortmund.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Akpoguma - Nets vs. Berlin Akpoguma scored once on one shot during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Union Berlin.

Impact Akpoguma scored his first of the season, matching his total from last season. The defender isn't a big offensive threat, which limits his offensive upside. Next up is a tough trip away to Dortmund on Friday.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Andrej Kramaric - Fourth assist Kramaric provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's two-all draw with Union Berlin.

Impact Kramaric is up to four assists in the first two games of the season. The forward is absolutely looking stellar thusfar, controlling the matches and leading the way on goal contributions. He faces a tall task Friday, away to Borussia Dortmund.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Bruun Larsen - Scores again Larsen scored once on two shots on goal during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Union Berlin.

Impact Larsen has now matched his career season-high goal total with his second goal in two games. The forward is looking excellent in the Hoffenheim starting XI and is becoming a consistent goal threat. He will be tested Friday, away to Borussia Dortmund.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Havard Nordtveit - Out, but closer Nordtveit (thigh) is out for Sunday's match with Union Berlin, but could return to training next week.

Impact Nordtveit remains out, but a return to training after Sunday's clash is the goal, something that could see him on track to finally return to the squad. The defender has plenty of talent, but has struggled constantly with injury, when healthy he should be a stable part of the starting XI.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ermin Bicakcic - Still out Bicakcic (knee) will miss Sunday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Bicakcic remains sidelined with a knee injury that has kept him out long-term. The defender still doesn't have a definite timeline for a return and doesn't appear particularly close. A return to training would go a long way towards restoring some fantasy relevance to the defender.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Hubner - Remains out Sunday Hubner (ankle) will be unavailable for Sunday's clash with Union Berlin.

Impact Hubner remains out with an ankle injury, missing well over a year. The defender has missed so much time that even when he is fit he will need ample time to return to training and then the bench before starting. The path back for Hubner appears to be as difficult as ever.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pavel Kaderabek - Resumes team training Wednesday Kaderabek (calf) completed portions of Wednesday's training session ahead of the matchup with Union Berlin on Sunday.

Impact Kaderabek started 17 of his 20 appearances last season and should be expected to be in the mix for regular minutes in the starting XI once fully fit. The defender generated three assists, 85 crosses (15 accurate) and 22 chances created in those 20 matches last year and figures to provide solid mid-range fantasy value.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Akpoguma - Forced off in opener Akpoguma was forced off in the 73rd minute of Saturday's win against Augsburg after receiving a shoulder to the head.

Impact If Akpoguma has a concussion, he'll likely be out the following match. If not, he should return to his role at right-back where he struggled to get up the field in the opener despite his team winning by four goals. If he's forced to miss time, Diadie Samassekou could move into the starting XI.

Oliver Baumann - Easy clean sheet Baumann made no saves during Saturday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Baumann had a dream start to the season, and a start he could have slept through. The keeper wasn't called upon a single time, but still took home the clean sheet. Baumann has another favorable match Sunday, against Union Berlin.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Andrej Kramaric - Three assists in win Kramaric provided three assists on four chances created during Saturday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Kramaric was excellent as a provider Saturday, setting up three goals in the season opener. The forward didn't get in the goals himself, but helped everyone around him find the back of the net in an excellent performance. Kramaric will hope to build on this Sunday, against Union Berlin.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Georginio Rutter - Goal, assist off bench Rutter scored once and provided one assist during Saturday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Rutter came off the bench for a 16-minute cameo and made the absolute most of it. The forward scored once and tacked on an assist to pile the goals on late. Rutter wasn't a threat to break into the starting XI, but this performance could push him closer to a starting role.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sargis Adamyan - Scores in win Adamyan scored once on one shot off the bench during Saturday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Adamyan came off the bench and made an immediate impact, scoring once in the comfortable win. The forward is unlikely to be a fixture in the starting XI, but continued production off the bench could see him earn ample opportunity.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Rudy - Nets in opener Rudy scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Rudy opened his season with a goal, and looked excellent throughout the match. The midfielder was in control and shut down Augsburg at every turn. This is one of the easier matches on the calendar, though Rudy will hope to build on this form Sunday, against Union Berlin.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Bruun Larsen - Scores in opener Larsen scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Larsen opened the season with his first league goal since 2018. The forward has been stuck to the bench of late, and has struggled for game time, but this goal could start a promising season. Next up is a Sunday clash with Union Berlin.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Baumann - Starts against Augsburg Baumann has been selected in the starting XI for the match against Augsburg on Saturday.

Impact Baumann will play for Hoffenheim on Saturday. The 31-year-old was declared fit to face Augsburg. He was uncertain to take part due to a pelvis injury.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sargis Adamyan - Questionable Saturday Adamyan is in doubt against Augsburg on Saturday after picking up a hamstring issue.

Impact Adamyan made just three starts in 18 appearances last season, so his potential absence may not impact the starting XI. When he was on the pitch, the forward did generate decent offensive production with two goals on 23 shots (seven on target), three assists and 10 crosses (two accurate).

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Baumann - In doubt for season opener Baumann (pelvis) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with FC Augsburg.

Impact Baumann appears to be still dealing with the same injury that caused him to miss the end of the 2020-21 campaign. If the keeper is unable to don the gloves Saturday, it figures to be Philipp Pentke -- who made three Bundesliga appearances last year -- that slots into the starting XI.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Skov - Dealing with foot injury Skov is questionable against Augsburg on Saturday due to a foot problem. Manager Sebastian Hoeness told reports, "Skov has a few issues with his foot, but he could take part in ind...

Impact Skov started just 12 of his 23 appearances for the team last year, so his potential absence may not impact the starting XI. If he does feature, it would likely be in favor of Jacob Bruun Larsen in an attacking role, which could make him a solid fantasy target.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pavel Kaderabek - Unavailable against Augsburg Kaderabek will be on the shelf versus FC Augsburg on Saturday as a result of a calf injury.

Impact Kaderabek registered three assists, 85 crosses (15 accurate) and 10 shots (four on target) in 20 Bundesliga contests last year and should provide decent mid-range fantasy value once given the all-clear. In the meantime, Stefan Posch should be in contention to slot into the starting XI.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ihlas Bebou - Officially out Saturday Bebou (COVID-19) will not be available versus FC Augsburg on Saturday.

Impact Considering Bebou's positive test for COVID-19 was announced Aug. 2, he was always a long shot to be ready to play in the season opener. Even once cleared to resume training, the forward may have to be eased back into action after his period of self-isolation.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Havard Nordtveit - Ruled out against Augsburg Nordtveit (thigh) will miss Saturday's match versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Nordtveit played in just 12 Bundesliga contests for the club last year due to a variety of injuries and has once again found himself on the shelf. WIthout Nordtveit as an option, the Hoffenheim central defense figures to be a combination of Kevin Akpoguma and Kevin Vogt.
