KARIM ONISIWO NEWS

Creates three chances in win Onisiwo took two shots and created three chances in Saturday's 4-0 victory against Arminia Bielefeld. He also made an interception and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Onisiwo was active in attack on Saturday but he couldn't find the back of the net himself in his side's comfortable win over Bielefeld. He hasn't scored in six Bundesliga games since Jan. 22, but he will want to end that drought after the international break against Monchengladbach, which have conceded 51 goals in 26 matches this season.

Onisiwo is unlikely to see significantly more starts heading into next season, limiting his fantasy value.
