Plays all but seven minutes N'Dicka played all but seven minutes in all competitions during the first half of the season.

Impact N'Dicka was unlucky to score agains his own net in the 87th minute, giving Bochum the 2-0 lead and ending any hopes his side. He did lead them in clearances as usual, at least. The centerback started in all their games in the season and is a solid provider of defensive stats.

Solid in UCL clean sheet N'Dicka recorded four clearances, two interceptions and one block while helping to keep a clean sheet in Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact N'Dicka was arguably his side's best defender during an evening where defense reigned supreme. His presence in the middle of the pitch was pure quality, and he did well to contain the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min for the full 90. With respect to statistics, his four clearances led all players in the match, but his efforts really can't be fully captured by the score sheet.

Ready for Saturday's match N'Dicka is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Union Berlin.

Available Saturday N'Dicka (head) is available for Saturday's clash with Union Berlin, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Wins four aerials in shutout win N'Dicka held a clean sheet and added four aerials won and five clearances in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Marseille.

Impact N'Dicka and the Eintracht back line held their second clean sheet in last four matches and seem to be coming to their own lately. With three or more goals allowed on three occasions already though defenders have been risky options in fantasy. The center-back offers little offensive appeal.

Impact N'dicka is coming off a solid season with four goals and four assists in 32 league starts while he also made 132 clearances. It's important that he properly overcomes this injury with little time remaining before the Aug. 5 opener against Bayern Munich. If he's unable to play, Jerome Onguene would likely take on a bigger role in the first game of the new season.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in new role N'Dicka scored four goals and provided four assists during the 2021/22 season.

Impact N'Dicka is simply just a ridiculously talented player. Despite being a center-back he showed a flair for the creative, while also leading the Frankfurt defense. Eight goal contributions from a central defender, and one that is a leader as well, has drawn interest from all over Europe. With N'Dicka entering the final year of his contract it's likely he finds himself moving for big money elsewhere in Europe, with Newcastle considered a likely destination for the incredibly talented defender.

Makes three interceptions in win N'Dicka registered one off-target shot, three interceptions and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Monchengladbach.

Impact RB Leipzig played an offensively focused match, and thanks to the tough defense from N'Dicka, they were unable to score. The defeneder is always good for a few tackles, but his interceptions have been surging lately.

Impact N'Dicka couldn't provide the same offensive contributions he did over the previous two matches, but at least the centre back was very solid on his primary tasks, racking up some nice numbers to help his side to shut the opposition down for the third time this season. Up next for the centre back is Jan. 8 clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Scores rare goal N'Dicka scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 5-2 win over Leverkusen.

Impact N'Dicka got in on the fun Sunday, as everyone seemed to find the back of the net for Frankfurt. The center-back isn't often a fantasy asset, so he's not worth targeting, but if he plays on the wing-back in a four-at-the-back formation, he may be worth a fantasy flier.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal N'Dicka scored one goal during a 2-1 win Sunday versus Union Berlin.

Impact N'Dicka logged his first goal of the 2021-22 Bundesliga. Considering he scored it across 11 domestic appearances, fantasy managers should not expect him to continue recording goals. Fantasy managers should expect more value from defense-based statistics.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs rare assist N'Dicka recorded one assist during a 2-1 win Sunday against SpVgg Greuther Furth.

Impact N'Dicka recorded his first assist among Bundesliga games this calendar year. But considering he has 28 league starts across 2021, fantasy managers should not rely on him to continue logging assists. N'Dicka is a traditional central defender who provides value by clearing the ball well many times. He averaged 3.8 clearances across his 28 starts this year.

NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starts against Hertha Berlin N'Dicka has been included in the playing XI for the match against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

Unavailable Sunday N'Dicka (knee) will miss Sunday's matchup with Bayern Munich.

Impact N'Dicka was shelved for the club's Europa League clash with Antwerp on Thursday and will now be sidelined for his second consecutive contest. Once fully fit, the central defender should be a mainstay in the starting XI but will likely continue to be replaced by Makoto Hasebe.

Out against Antwerp N'Dicka (knee) will not be available for Thursday's Europa League matchup with Antwerp.

Impact N'Dicka has started all seven matches for Eintracht Frankfurt this season, including the club's previous UEL matchup. In those outings, the central defender registered just two shots (zero on target) and two chances created. Still, N'Dicka has racked up 34 clearances and could offer some fantasy value in formats that value defensive stats. At this point, N'Dicka should be considered questionable, at best, to play in Sunday's tilt versus Bayern Munich.
