Kevin Trapp - Six saves Saturday Trapp had six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 7-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Trapp stopped six of eight shots he faced, getting plenty of offense to earn the win during the dominant rout. The goalkeeper will have been disappointed he couldn't keep the clean sheet, but it's still a nice result. The shots on goal behind a rotated team also helped Trapp build a nice floor.

Ellyes Skhiri - Provides assist Skhiri assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 7-2 win against Bochum.

Impact Skhiri assisted once, getting in on the scoring fun during the one-sided rout. The defensive midfielder isn't a major contributor to the attack, but when given the chance to bomb forward he can offer some creativity. Skhiri will maintain his starting role in all competitions moving forward as a major part of the starting XI.

Nnamdi Collins - Assists Saturday Collins assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 7-2 victory over Bochum.

Impact Collins got the start in a rotated Frankfurt side, and was brilliant, even popping up for a goal contribution. The defender isn't going to be a major part of the starting XI, and even when on the pitch he isn't likely to be a major attacking threat. Still Collins is clearly earning more trust in the first team.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Can Uzun - First Bundesliga goal Uzun scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 7-2 victory over Bochum.

Impact Uzun joined Frankfurt as one of the hottest young attacking prospects, and now he has his first Bundesliga goal. Minutes have been hard to come by in the Frankfurt attack, but Uzun is showing why he was so lethal in the 2. Bundesliga. It wouldn't be a surprise for him to play his way into more minutes in the back half of the season.

Ansgar Knauff - Scores Saturday Knauff scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 7-2 win versus Bochum. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th mi...

Impact Knauff was handed a rare start, and made the most of it with a goal during Saturday's one-sided rout. The winger has largely been relegated to a depth role this season, but he still has something to offer to the attack when called up. Knauff will likely earn some more chances, especially in cup competitions and against weaker opponents.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Mahmoud Dahoud - Scores and assists Dahoud scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and two chances created in Saturday's 7-2 win versus Bochum.

Impact Dahoud was in the starting XI in a rotated team, and he made his case for more minutes with aplomb. He was good for a goal and assist as Frankfurt dismantled Bochum's defense. Dahoud will likely remain a rotation option, but with Frankfurt working in so many competitions there should still be plenty of chances for Dahoud.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Omar Marmoush - Three goal contributions Marmoush scored one goal and assisted twice from two shots and three chances created in Saturday's 7-2 victory against Bochum.

Impact Marmoush added three goal contributions during an excellent showing Saturday, as he continued his red-hot form. The striker is one of the most in-form players in Europe, and he's flying high. Marmoush will be an elite option with a major role on everything going forward as long as he stays with Frankfurt, though rumors have linked him to a January move away.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Ekitike - Nets brace Ekitike scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 7-2 win over Bochum.

Impact Ekitike piled on the goals during Saturday's rout, dismantling Bochum every time he was on the ball. Frankfurt are flying early in the Bundesliga and the attack is a key part of it. Ekitike will hope to keep this good form going in tougher matches before the international break.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Arthur Theate - No longer banned Theate has cleared his suspension and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Theate is no longer suspended following his red card in the club's last league match, sitting out against Bochum on Saturday. The defender should be expected to return to the starting XI now that he is available, as he has only missed one start all season when fit.

Eric Ebimbe - Back on bench Dina Ebimbe (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Bochum.

Impact Dina Ebimbe picked up a knock in the DFB Pokal, but is now back on the bench Saturday. The midfielder being fit enough for a call up is a good sign the injury wasn't serious, though he falls to the bench in a heavily rotated squad.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Niels Nkounkou - Returns in cup Nkounkou came off the bench during the second half of Tuesday's 2-1 win over Gladbach.

Impact Nkounkou missed out due to an allergic reaction at the weekend but returned in the cup midweek. The defender is now fit once more and should be a consistent option in the first team off the left flank.

Eric Ebimbe - Forced off early Junior was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Gladbach.

Impact Junior picked up the knock inside the opening 30 minutes and was forced off in favor of Nnamdi Collins. The midfielder will have the rest of the week to try and get fit before a Saturday clash with Bochum back in Bundesliga action.

Niels Nkounkou - Fit once again Nkounkou (illness) is an option for Wednesday's match against Gladbach, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Niels is also an option again."

Impact Nkounkou is back in the fold after missing the club's last match due to illness, with the defender an option for their mid-week cup match. This is great news for the club, as he has started in six of his nine appearances. That said, there is a solid chance he will reclaim his spot in the starting XI immediately.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Trapp - Three saves Sunday Trapp made three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Union Berlin.

Impact Trapp stopped three of the four shots he faced, leaving him with just a draw. It wasn't a poor showing by any means, but Trapp would have hoped to do better and earn a clean sheet against a lackluster attack. He remains the clear top choice in net for Frankfurt, who are flying above expectations at the moment.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Tuta - Three shots Sunday Tuta generated three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Union Berlin. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 74th minute.

Impact Tuta was surprisingly offensive during Sunday's draw, getting forward when given the chance and almost scoring himself. The defender occasionally slots into central midfield, and he is certainly the most active ball-carrier among the Frankfurt backline. Still he's also been rotated heavily as Frankfurt cycle through some different defensive looks.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Gotze - Nets in draw Gotze scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Union Berlin.

Impact Gotze provided the only Frankfurt goal Sunday, a somewhat rare goal for the midfielder who doesn't seem to offer as much going forward at this point. He's still seeing consistent minutes, but he simply isn't the offensive threat he was earlier in his career. Gotze should see major minutes at least until the Christmas break, though Can Uzun is considered a likely replacement as he integrates into the team.

Rasmus Kristensen - Injures thigh Kristensen picked up a thigh issues in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Union Berlin, according to his club.

Impact Kristensen was forced off only 38 minutes into Saturday's match, with it now being known the defender suffered a thigh injury. The club didn't release much more information, leaving a return date up in the air, although you can expect him to at least be out until after the international break. That said, he will hope to be an option to face Bochum on Saturday, with Eric Junor as his likely replacement moving forward.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Arthur Theate - Sent off Sunday Theate received a straight red card in the 77th minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw to Union Berlin.

Impact Theate will be forced to sit out at least the club's next match, with the defender seeing a red card Sunday. He has been a regular starter, so this will force a change, with Nnamdi Collins as a probable replacement. As of now, he is expected to return against Stuttgart on Nov. 10.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Niels Nkounkou - Suffers allergic reaction Nkounkou is not in the squad to face Union Berlin on Sunday after having an allergic reaction to something.

Impact Nkounkou misses out on short notice after having the reaction in the buildup to the match. Arthur Theate slides over to left-back in Nkiunkou's absence.

Ansgar Knauff - Returns in Europa League Knauff (illness) returned during Frankfurt's 1-0 win over RFS on Thursday.

Impact Knauff got back on the pitch, coming off the bench during the second half of Thursday's clash. The winger is a solid contributor but he's seen limited minutes in recent weeks, with other options taking over on the wings.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Trapp - Returns with loss Trapp made seven saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Trapp's return to the starting XI ended in defeat, but it truly wasn't a poor showing. He was at his best on multiple occasions to shut down a rampant Leverkusen attack and nearly earned the draw. In the end he was saddled with a loss, but should have more favorable matches in the coming weeks.
