Impact Yoshida had a performance like the ones he had with Japan during the World Cup, leading all players in clearances and having the edge against opposing forwards most of the times. The center-back is one of the biggest reasons why his side has just one goal conceded over the last five matches and played almost every minute of this season so far, being a very nice fantasy pickup as of late.

The forward couldn't add anything noteworthy to his stat line afterwards and that ultimately led him to be subbed off after 72 minutes. With two assists over seven Bundesliga appearances so far this season, Frey will hope to remain in the starting XI for Saturday's visit to Bochum.

With three goals and three assists over 18 appearances (12 starts) so far this season, the attacker will hope this performance is enough for him to remain in the lineup for the upcoming games.
