Impact Flekken conceded two goals in the first half and three in the second as Freiburg dropped all three points on Sunday. The keeper has now allowed 13 goals in 10 league starts while his three saves upped his season total to 35.

Dortmund, Bayern challenge Bundesliga top 2 Union, Freiburg
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are in the unaccustomed role of challengers as the Bundesliga’s top four all meet on SundayOCTOBER 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Philipp Lienhart - Three interceptions Lienhart had one tackle (one won), two clearances, and three interceptions in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Lienhart and Freiburg failed to keep a clean sheet for the second Bundesliga match in a row, which becomes their longest drought of the campaign. The fact that two matches without a clean sheet is disappointing speaks to the sheer brilliance of this Freiburg defense. While Lienhart isn't likely to match the five goals he produced in the 2021/22 campaign he has already equaled the seven clean sheets he provided last time out.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Gunter - Creates chance in draw Gunter had six crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Gunter kept his 12-match streak of creating at least one chance going after failing to do so in the season opener. The left-back has been at the heart of the attack for Freiburg despite failing to get on the scoresheet in the Bundesliga. Gunter is coming off of a two goal, nine assist campaign, and with 16 chances created in nine matches he has shown the volume to push double-digit assists once more.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matthias Ginter - No tackles in draw Ginter one clearance and one interception in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Ginter didn't have much to do in a match that was largely controlled by Freiburg despite coming away with just a draw. The central defender has plenty of upside with an astounding seven clean sheets in 12 matches in all competitions. That sort of form and Freiburg's generally excellent defense keeps this entire unit relevant for clean sheets if nothing else.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Vincenzo Grifo - Five crosses Grifo had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate), and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Grifo was held off the scoresheet but still produced five crosses during Sunday's draw. The forward continues to be one of the most productive players in Germany, even if the end product hasn't quite been there yet. With 26 chances created in nine matches Grifo is still showing the volume that has seen him approach 20 goal contributions in the last two seasons.

Kahn rages in Dortmund as Bayern Munich rues missed chance
Bayern Munich’s Oliver Kahn was known for his fits of rage when things weren’t going well for his teamOCTOBER 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mark Flekken - Single save for draw Flekken made one save and one clearance in Sunday's 2-2 draw to Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Flekken has been arguably the best keeper in the Bundesliga inside the opening nine matches with an absurd five clean sheets in that span. That said he would certainly like a second crack at the three shots he faced Sunday. Flekken was only able to stop one-of-three and fell to a draw that prevented him and Freiburg from going to the top of the table.
OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yannik Keitel - Assists off bench Keitel assisted once to go with zero corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Keitel came off the bench for his sixth Bundesliga appearance and also earned the first goal contribution of his career. It was a brilliant moment for the young midfielder who has been a rotational and youth option for five seasons with Freiburg. While he likely won't break into the starting XI any time soon Keitel would be an interesting play if given a chance, especially due to his creativity during limited minutes.
OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ritsu Doan - Assists yet again Doan assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate), and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw to Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Doan has two assists in his last two matches and five goal contributions in all competitions in his first season with Freiburg. The forward didn't have the chance to shine on a disappointing Bielefeld side during his last stint in the Bundesliga, but he appears to be far more solid this time around. Doan and Freiburg are flying up the table and have shown potent offense in all competitions.
OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Schade - Nets off bench Schade scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Schade has been slowly making his way back from a knee injury with small cameos off the bench and he finally has his first goal back in the first team. While it was off the bench once more, it's still an excellent sign for Schade to get back in the goals. The wingers is a minimal fantasy option until he finds his way into the starting XI.
OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel-Kofi Kyereh - Nets yet again Kyereh scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw to Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Kyereh got off to a slow starts to the campaign but he's turned that around now with three goals in his last three matches. The forward has lined up in all competitions going 70-80 minutes consistently. Kyereh is one of the most in-form players in a wildly impressive Freiburg side, and is worth considering in all formats. The only concern for Kyereh is his utter lack of creativity with just two chances created in all competitions.

Union Berlin beats Stuttgart 1-0, stays top of Bundesliga
Union Berlin defender Paul Jaeckel’s late goal was enough for the capital club to lead the Bundesliga for the fourth consecutive weekend with a 1-0 win at StuttgartOCTOBER 9, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michael Gregoritsch - Starting Sunday Gregoritsch made the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Hertha Berlin.
Impact Gregoritsch may have had a knock on his leg during Thursday's 2-0 win over Nantes but it wasn't enough to knock him out of the lineup Sunday. He's scored three goals in his last four matches, and will hope to keep up his streak of scoring in alternating contests following a scoreless effort Thursday but a goal the previous Saturday against Mainz.
OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lucas Holer - Unused substitute in Europa League Holer was an unused substitute during Thursday's 2-0 win over Nantes in the Europa League.
Impact Holer finally made his way back to the bench but didn't make his way onto the pitch Thursday. While it's not likely that he's fully fit yet, with Michael Gregoritsch going down with an injury Holer figures to see an uptick in playing time alongside Nils Petersen.
OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Gregoritsch - Forced off against Nantes Gregoritsch (undisclosed) was forced off with a knock during Thursday's clash with Nantes in the Europa League.
Impact Gregoritsch was holding his leg when he came off though he was able to walk off. Nils Petersen is a more than competent replacement if Gregoritsch is set to miss any time, though it will be hard to replace the excellent form Gregoritsch is in. Petersen would immediately become a fantasy-relevant option if Gregoritsch is unable to go for Sunday's trip to a beatable Hertha defense.
OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolas Hofler - Makes three tackles versus Mainz Hofler registered three tackles (one won), three interceptions, two clearances and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 win over Mainz.
Impact Hofler had a good defensive outing to help them earn the win at home. The midfielder led his side in tackles and made the second-most interceptions during the match. He also received his fourth yellow card in 10 starts in the season, though, and will now need to be careful to avoid a suspension.
