Mark Flekken - Heroic in defeatFlekken made six saves in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.

ImpactFlekken faced nine shots and made six saves during Wednesday's loss, as his defense was overwhelmed by an inventive Leipzig attack. Flekken remains one of the top goalkeepers in the Bundesliga and is worth considering in all formats. Flekken will likely see most of the World Cup break off the pitch, as he is unlikely to see much playing time for the Netherlands, despite his good form.

Nicolas Hofler - Busy defensivelyHofler had five tackles (two won), one clearance, and one interception in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig.

ImpactHofler had plenty to do in defensive midfield during Wednesday's loss, shutting down wave after wave of Leipzig attacks. The midfielder has what was his highest-volume defensive game, though his offense was shut down entirely. Hofler has a single goal and assist in all competitions and is entirely reliant on defensive volume for his fantasy value.

Christian Gunter - Four crosses in lossGunter had four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.

ImpactGunter sent in four inaccurate crosses as he was shut down entirely by the Leipzig defense. The left-back has had plenty of upside with his 49 chances created in all competitions, though those have earned him just three assists. Gunter has been active across all matches and is showing signs of exhaustion heading into the final match before the Winter break. The positive side of things is that Gunter will get two months to recover fully.

Lukas Kubler - Nets rare goalKubler scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss versus RB Leipzig.

ImpactKubler scored his fourth goal in six starts across all competitions, in what has become career-year offensively for the defender. Kubler didn't even start the campaign with his team after an injury cost him his pre-season, but that hasn't stopped him from finding a random goal-scoring run. Kubler isn't an offensively present player more often than not and this upside likely isn't worth chasing.

Janis Blaswich - Single save winBlaswich made one save and two clearances in Wednesday's 3-1 win versus SC Freiburg.

ImpactBlaswich made one save on two shots faced as he came away with yet another win. Single goals conceded have been a major issue for Blaswich, as he struggles to convert his clean sheet chances despite the renewed defensive unit in front of him. Blaswich remains a top goalkeeper in the Bundesliga as long as Peter Gulacsi is sidelined with a knee injury.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Red-hot for continuesSzoboszlai assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (four accurate), and four corners in Wednesday's 3-1 win against SC Freiburg.

ImpactSzoboszlai provided an assist to extend his goal contribution streak to four, with one goal and three assists in that time. In his last seven matches Szoboszlai has scored once and provided six assists in what has been a rich vein of form. Szoboszlai and Leipzig seem to be finding their feet and climbing the table with ease, giving the midfielder immense upside heading into the Winter break.

Emil Forsberg - Nets off benchForsberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus SC Freiburg.

ImpactForsberg scored his second Bundesliga goal in his 11th appearance, this time off the bench. The attacking midfielder has entirely fallen out of the starting XI, but still sees consistent playing time off the bench, and would be the first option to fill in for injuries. With Dani Olmo back in the first team squad Forsberg's week-to-week upside is heavily limited, though he seems to have held onto a role on set-pieces.
