Converts penalty in win Forsberg scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing twice inaccurately during Sunday's 4-0 win over Augsburg.
Poor yet again Forsberg didn't shoot or create a chance during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Union Berlin.
Impact Forsberg has now produced two matches in a row with no shots or chances created and in both matches he was one of the first players to be replaced. The attacking midfielder is in some truly awful form and isn't worth targeting in any fantasy formats. Forsberg will hope to bounce back, likely from the bench, against Gladbach next time out.

Impact Originally expected to be sidelined for eight weeks, Forsberg's resumption of training activities could be an indication he is ahead of schedule in his recovery.

Impact Forsberg has four goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, with another two scores and two assists in the Champions League, and his absence in attacking midfield will be felt these next two months despite Leipzig's deep squad. Dominik Szoboszlai and Amadou Haidara -- when he's recovered from an ankle injury -- are likely in for an uptick in playing time in Forsberg's absence.
