Impact Nmecha saw action in 30 matches, including 19 starts, for Wolfsburg last season in which he recorded three goals on 37 shots (nine on target), five assists and seven crosses (one accurate).

Ankle injury deemed non-serious Nmecha picked up an ankle injury during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Hertha, but the injury isn't severe, waz.de reports.

Impact Nmecha finished the 2022-23 Bundesliga with three goals, five assists, 30 clearances, 25 interceptions and 10 blocks. It also ended abruptly, with an undisclosed injury capping off his latest appearance to one half. Since April, Nmecha has been a mainstay in VfL Wolfsburg's starting XI, something he was not regularly part of before that month. That regularity bodes well for him when the 2023-24 Bundesliga begins later this year.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Youngster Nmecha has had a good season and has been consistently improving. Great consecutive performances versus FC Union Berlin, VFB Stuttgart and FC Augsburg have been an important part of his season. He has three goals and three assists this season, this can earn him a midfield start alongside Maximilian Arnold. The duo can link-up again to trouble Monchengladbach next week.

Impact Nmecha assisted Yannick Gerhardt in the 55th minute Saturday, his third assist this season. He also was solid defensively, notching two clearances, one interception and one blocked shot before being subbed off in the 70th minute. Nmecha has five goal contributions (two goals and three assists) this season in 14 appearances (seven starts). Given his high production in fairly limited time, he should be a high-upside option if he gets more playing time.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up injury with national team Nmecha picked up an injury with the German U21 national team that knocks him out of their camp and Saturday's friendly against Italy.

Impact Nmecha still has until after the World Cup and winter break so this injury isn't much to worry about unless he's still out of training in January. He's scored twice and logged two assists in 13 appearances (six starts) and if he continues to play well when the season resumes Jan. 21 against Freiburg, then he and brother Lukas Nmecha could be quite the duo to follow.

Fantasy managers should expect Nmecha to regularly play alongside center-positioned midfielders (such as Maximilian Arnold and Yannick Gerhardt) while the team continues winning like it did Saturday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fantasy managers should expect the Englishman regularly logging fantasy value when playing alongside VfL Wolfsburg's playmaking captain. However, Yannick Gerhardt and Mattias Svanberg are central midfielders who may still be favored more than Nmecha.

Takes two shots in draw Nmecha put two-of-two shots on target during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Augsburg.

Impact Nmecha recorded his first start of the season and was able to play the full 90 too. While he still has some ways to go before he's as integral to the team as older brother Lukas, the younger could certainly earn a place in the team with more solid performances before the World Cup break in mid-November.

Comes off bench Sunday Nmecha (knee) logged 29 minutes as a substitute against Bayern Munich on Sunday.

Impact Even with his injury behind him, Nmecha may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any sort of consistency considering he featured just once in his 16 Bundesliga outings for Wolfsburg last season. Without a clear path to the starting XI, Nmecha is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could be ready Nmecha could be on a list of players declared fit by manager Nico Kovac ahead of Saturday's match against Werder Bremen.

Impact Nmecha underwent knee surgery to finish the season and though he hasn't been active in preseason matches, he might be ready just in time for the regular season. He only started once last season and will need to make some big steps if he's to be worth much in fantasy.
