Niklas Stark - Ends with injury Stark missed the final two matches of the season with an ankle injury after another busy season with over 2,000 minutes played.

Impact Stark has been a major part of the Hertha defense, and did well keep the team just barely in the Bundesliga. The defender may not be the most high-profile fantasy option, but his consistency and ability to stay on the pitch gives him a stable fantasy floor, even if it's a low floor. Stark will be right back in the heart of the Hertha starting XI in the 2022/23 season.

Marvin Plattenhardt - Three crosses Saturday Plattenhardt sent in three inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Plattenhardt had plenty of chances to add to his paltry three assists, but failed to do so with three poor crosses. The full-back hasn't been a frequent member of the Hertha back-line, mostly due to injury, since 2017, the last time he played in over 30 matches.
