Scores again Nkunku scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate), and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 tie against 1. FC Koln.
Impact Nkunku has two goals in the first two matches of the season as he looks to once again compete for Bundesliga player of the year honors. The forward looked excellent with returning strike-partner Timo Werner, who will likely relegate Andre Silva to a bench role. Nkunku is arguably the top forward in the Bundesliga since the departure of Robert Lewandowski and is worth considering in any format.

Nets for draw Nkunku scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal), five crosses (one accurate), and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 tie to VfB Stuttgart.
Impact Nkunku scored once during Sunday's disappointing draw to Stuttgart. It's a poor start to life in 2022/23 as Leipzig fall to a draw against relegation-fodder in Stuttgart. The forward was named the Bundesliga player of the year in 2021/22 and is looking ready to defend his crown, especially with Robert Lewandowski gone.
