GREUTHER FURTH NEWS

Jeremy Dudziak - Takes four corners Dudziak recorded four corners, four crosses (one accurate) and one shot (off target) in Friday's 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Dudziak led the team in corners Friday but Furth continues to utilize a three-prong approach with Dudziak, Julian Green and Paul Seguin. Until one of those three can separate himself as the primary option, Dudziak's fantasy value won't reach the elite status of his contemporaries.

Julian Green - Launches six crosses Green registered six crosses (zero accurate), two shots (one on target) and two corners versus Bayern Munich on Friday.

Impact Green's 18 crosses trails only teammate Paul Seguin for the team lead (21) while the club continues to handle the corner-taking duties with a committee approach split between Green, Seguin and Jeremy Dudziak. Still, Green should continue to push the attack from the middle of the pitch and offer top-half fantasy value against FC Koln on Friday.

Sebastian Griesbeck - Saddled with own goal Griesbeck was assessed an own goal in Friday's 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Griesbeck has featured in the starting XI in three straight matches for the club in which he registered one shot (on target), one crosses (inaccurate) and eight tackles (three won). Given his limited offensive upside, the defensive midfielder figures to provide mid-range fantasy value at best.

Sascha Burchert - Gives up three goals Friday Burchert allowed three goals while making two saves in Friday's 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Burchert has struggled to keep balls out of the net this year, as he has conceded 16 goals through the first six matches while making just 22 saves. The keeper will need to find another level if he is going to help his club avoid a return to 2. Bundesliga next year, starting with Friday's matchup with FC Koln.

Sascha Burchert - Stops two in loss Burchert made two saves while allowing two goals versus Hertha Berlin on Friday.

Impact Burchert has faced significant pressure this season as he has been called upon to make 20 saves through the first five matches of the year. It won't get any easier for the keeper on Sept. 24 when he faces off with Bayern Munich.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Dudziak - Launches six crosses Dudziak registered six crosses (zero accurate), one corner and two chances created against Hertha Berlin on Friday.

Impact It was the first start of the season for Dudziak who had previously logged 30 combined minutes off the bench in the opening two matches of the year. Once Robin Luca Kehr (groin) is cleared to play, Dudziak could find himself watching from the sidelines.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Seguin - Racks up nine crosses Seguin registered nine crosses (five accurate), two corners and three chances created in Friday's 2-1 defeat to Hertha Berlin.

Impact Seguin is responsible for 25 percent of the team's corners this season in addition to taking 44 percent of the corners. The midfielder should continue to feature heavily in the club's attack moving forward and should be a top fantasy target moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Bauer - Saddled with own goal Bauer recorded an own goal versus Hertha Berlin on Friday along with one shot (off target), three tackles (three won) and four clearances.

Impact Bauer has featured in the starting XI in all five of the club's matches during which he racked up 20 clearances, six tackles (four won) and three blocks. The defender's value comes primarily through clearances, so he will only offer fantasy value in certain formats.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Branimir Hrgota - Scores goal in defeat Hrgota scored a goal on one shot against Hertha Berlin on Friday. In addition, the forward registered four crosses (one accurate), one corner and two chances created.

Impact Hrgota has put together a strong start to the season, as he has started all five matches for the club in which he has registered two goals on 11 shots (five on target), 10 crosses (five accurate) and four corners. Hrgota figures to continue offering solid fantasy value the rest of the way.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gian-Luca Itter - Still out Friday Itter (knee) will not be in the match-day squad versus Hertha Berlin on Friday.

Impact Itter will be on the shelf for his second consecutive contest after suffering his knee problem. Prior to getting hurt, the defender generated six crosses (three accurate), seven tackles (two won) and one shot (off target). Itter should jump back into his left-back role once cleared to play while Jetro Williems will deputize in his stead.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Kehr - Ruled out Friday Kehr (groin) will miss Friday's matchup with Hertha Berlin. Manager Stefan Leitl told reporters "Robin Kehr is still not available."

Impact Kehr will be on the shelf for the fifth match of the year due to his lingering groin problem. Once deemed fully fit, the forward should challenge for a spot in the starting XI though he is far from a lock.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sascha Burchert - One save in loss Burchert made one save and two clearances during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg.

Impact Burchert had little to do facing only three shots, and failed to stop two of them. He was never in line for the win with the horrendous attack in front of him, but he was unable to salvage the draw. He faces another tough match Friday, away to Hertha.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Meyerhofer - Busy in loss Meyerhofer made four tackles and one interception during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Wolfsburg.

Impact Meyerhofer failed to get forward from right-back and simply fell into a heavily defensive role. The defender did add some decent volume, as he has for most of the season, but consistently poor performance around him limit his upside. Next up is a Friday trip to Hertha.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Green - Creates two chances in loss Green created two chances on four crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg.

Impact Green got forward well and had some chances to chip in offensively, but failed to really get going. The midfielder has yet to get on the score sheet this season, something he will hope to soon remedy. Next up is a Friday trip away to Hertha Berlin.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Seguin - Three crosses in loss Seguin sent in three inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg.

Impact Seguin's three crosses had plenty of promise but he failed to find a friendly head with any of them. The midfielder was pretty quiet in the match and managed only a single chance created. Next up is a Friday trip away to Hertha.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gian-Luca Itter - Out with knee injury Itter was able to train with the team Wednesday but won't be in action against Wolfsburg on Saturday due to his knee injury. Manager Stefan Leitl told reporters, "Luca Itter will n...

Impact The fact that Itter was able to train with the team Wednesday could clear the way for him o rejoin the match-day squad against Hertha Berlin on Sept. 17. Without Itter in the squad, recent acquisition Jetro Willems figures to slot into the left-back role and could provide solid fantasy value pushing the attach from the backline.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Kehr - Unavailable versus Wolves Kehr (groin) will not be an option against VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday after manager Stefan Leitl told reporters, "Not available are Jessic Ngankam (knee) and Gideon Jung (knee), plu...

Impact Kehr has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season, so his absence shouldn't have any impact on the starting XI, though it will stretch the club's attacking depth considering Ngankam is already sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Meyerhofer - Creates three chances in loss Meyerhofer delivered four crosses (zero accurate), made five tackles (winning three) and created three chances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Mainz.

Impact Meyerhofer led his team in chances created and delivered the second most crosses with four (zero accurate). He has created three chances in the last two matches. His next opponent is Wolfsburg on September 11.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sascha Burchert - Concedes three goals to Mainz Burchert made six saves, one clearance and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Mainz.

Impact Burchert was busy all afternoon and conceded three goals. He's allowed three plus goals in two of three matches to begin the season. His next match is against high flying Wolfsburg on September 11.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Elias Kratzer - Available off bench Kratzer (undisclosed) will be in the match-day squad for Thursday's friendly versus Jahn Regensburg.

Impact Even fully fit, Kratzer is a long shot to break into the starting XI, which makes him a low-end fantasy option at best. It would likely take a handful of injuries on the backline for Kratzer to get onto the pitch.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Viergever - Completes move to Bundesliga Viergever transferred to Greuther Furth from PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday, signing a two-year deal with the German club.

Impact Viergever will be leaving the Netherlands for the first time in his professional career, having spent time with both Ajax and PSV. The defender has logged 299 matches in the Eredivisie in which he registered 14 goals and 15 assists. With Furth, Viergever is unlikely to feature heavily in the starting XI but should provide cover behind Maximilian Bauer and Justin Hoogma.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Griesbeck - Completes deadline-day move Griesbeck secured a permanent transfer to Greuther Furth from Union Berlin on Tuesday.

Impact Griesbeck logged just eight minutes off the bench through the opening three matches of the Bundesliga season. With his move to Greuther, the midfielder should see more opportunities, though he is far from a lock to unseat Havard Nielsen from the starting XI.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gideon Jung - Undergoes knee procedure Jung had surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his right knee Wednesday and is out indefinitely.

Impact While it's good news that Jung avoided any ligament damage, the fact that he did need to have a knee procedure will likely see him miss at least a month, if not longer depending on the severity of the damage. Maximilian Bauer and Justin Hoogma figure to serve as central defense while Jung is sidelined.

AUGUST 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jetro Willems - Joins Furth on permanent deal Willems landed a two-year contract with Greuther Furth on Wednesday.

Impact Willems links up with his new club on a free transfer after being released from his contract by Eintracht Frankfurt in June. The left-back failed to make a single appearance for Eintracht last year and hasn't played in a competitive match since he was with Newcastle United during the 2019-20 campaign. Still, Willems should at least compete for regular minutes with Furth, though may have to be eased back into action after joining the team after the start of the season.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Bauer - Makes two clearances in draw Bauer registerd one off-target shot, one tackle (zero won), two clearances and a yellow card in Saturday's 1-1 draw to Arminia Bielefeld.

Impact Bauer co-led his side in clearances and interceptions during the home draw, but it was a quiet outing for their defense. The centerback also picked up his first yellow card of the season. He will now face a likely tougher matchup at Mainz on Saturday.
