Impact Lukebakio scored for the third straight match, while also showing an excellent creative showing. The striker has been one of the most productive players since re-joining Hertha after a disappointing loan spell with Wolfsburg.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nets in draw Lukebakio scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw to SC Freiburg.

Impact Lukebakio scored his fourth goal of the campaign on the way to a draw against a high-flying Freiburg side. The striker is already showing far better form than he managed on loan with Wolfsburg, and is becoming a strong fantasy option.

It remains to be seen if Lukebakio will be able to reach double digit goals in a poor Hertha attack, but he has been improving his overall volume. Lukebakio remains a risky fantasy option with a near-zero floor due to the poor scoring environment around him.
