Sasa Kalajdzic - Creates two chances in loss Kalajdzic had two shots (one on goal), created two chances, one foul and sustained three fouls in the 2-0 loss to SC Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact It was a very poor showing offensively from the entire squad against SC Freiburg. Of the team's six total shots, Kalajdzic had the only one that was on goal. This was only the fourth appearance for the forward this season, and while he has no goals, he has managed to take 12 shots.

Chris Fuhrich - Launches in four crosses Fuhrich had one shot (off target), four crosses, one interception, one foul, two tackles, and was fouled once in the 2-0 loss to SC Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact Throughout the season, Fuhrich has been slowly increasing his crosses per match. In his first six appearances he had none, but in his five matches he has had 20. Unfortunately, it was too little too late against SC Freiburg on Saturday.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Borna Sosa - Fires in nine crosses in loss Sosa had nine crosses, two tackles and one foul in the 2-0 defeat to SC Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact In an attempt to equalize, the whole squad rallied to try and match SC Freiburg. Sosa, the crossing expert, tried his best to create an opportunity in the box, but none of them were able to find the back of the net.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Muller - Concedes two goals in loss Muller had three saves and conceded two goals in the 2-0 loss to SC Freiburg.

Impact Giving up one goal is bad, but when your defender Hiroki Ito scores an own goal to lose the match, that is painful. Since his return from missing four consecutive matches earlier this season, Muller has managed to save almost twice as many shots as he has been beaten by. This appearance skews that average.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Klement - Spotted in training Klement was spotted in training, and could return to the bench.

Impact Klement is not much of a fantasy option by any means and truly isn't worth rostering outside of a desperation play. There are better options in the Bundesliga, and Stuttgart.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Didavi - Picks up knee injury Didavi left Wednesday training early with a knee injury and is out for Saturday's clash with Freiburg.

Impact Didavi left training with a knee injury though it's not clear how serious the injury is. The midfielder isn't much of a fantasy option by any means and isn't worth considering for the long, or short-term. Look for Didavi to try and return after the international break, though that is far from guaranteed.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Forster - Dealing with a cold Forster is dealing with a cold, and will be a game-time call Saturday's clash with Freiburg.

Impact Forster is still dealing with an illness, and while it appears not to be COVID-19 it's hard to be sure. The hope is that Forster simply has a cold and will be able to recover and play Saturday. That said Forster has not trained yet with the team, so it's unlikely he'd be at his best if he plays.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Thommy - Returns to full training Thommy finally made his return to full training, according to manager Pellegrino Matarazzo.

Impact Thommy has been recovering from COVID-19 for months and was finally fit enough to return from the illness. It's unclear whether he will be available Saturday, but he did play fully and should have a chance. The midfielder will hope to make the bench, though he is a fringe option even when available.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Silas Wamangituka - Returns to training Silas made a return to training, but is unlikely to play, according to manager Pellegrino Matarazzo.

Impact Silas making a return to training is a good thing, and gives him an outside chance of playing Saturday, but it is a very unlikely chance. The midfielder is still recovering from COVID-19 and still remains unlikely to start. Look for Silas to make his return on the other side of the international break.

Unrelenting Bayern beats Cologne, sets league scoring record

Robert Lewandowski has bagged a hat trick as Bayern Munich scored for a record 66th Bundesliga game in succession to beat Cologne 4-0 and restore its six-point lead

Florian Muller - One save in loss Muller made one save during Saturday's 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Muller only faced three shots and only managed to stop one during Saturday's disappointing defeat. The keeper is a solid fantasy choice generally, with this single dud seemingly the exception, not the rule. Next up is a Saturday clash with Freiburg.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hiroki Ito - Five crosses in loss Ito sent in five crosses (three accurate), creating three chances during Saturday's 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Ito did well to get forward despite technically lining up at center back. The defender is the widest of the three-at the back formation and has some liberty to bomb forward. Next up for Ito is a Saturday trip to Freiburg.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Fuhrich - Creates four chances Fuhrich created four chances on nine crosses during Saturday's 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Fuhrich did well to create plenty of chances despite his team struggling to convert the chances. The forward has a solid floor due to his duty on set-pieces and is worth rostering almost all formats. Next up is a tough trip away to Freiburg who will be looking to bounce back after losing to Bayern.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sasa Kalajdzic - Four shots in loss Kalajdzic shot four times (twice on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig.

Impact Kalajdzic shot four times in his second consecutive start and did well overall. The forward has just recently broken into the starting XI but has performed admirably in both starts. He will look to hold onto his starting role for Saturday's trip to Freiburg.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Borna Sosa - Sends in 19 crosses in return Sosa created four chances, sent in 19 crosses (four accurate) and made one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Greuther Furth.

Impact Sosa started in his retunr after missing three games with a back injury, and led all players in crosses during the game. His 19 crosses were also a season-high for the midfielder. He will now look to keep things rolling against RB Leipzig on Saturday.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Bredlow - Back as substitute Bredlow was back on the bench during Saturday's 0-0 draw at Greuther Furth.

Impact Bredlow missed their last four games with an undisclosed injury, but was back in his usual backup spot. The goalkeeper started only four times in the season (no clean sheets) and will likely remain as a substitute for the rest of the campaign.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Massimo - Makes two tackles in draw Massimo took one off-target shot, sent in two inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (zero won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Greuther Furth.

Impact Massimo missed their last two games with an ankle issue, but returned and started to play 81 minutes before subbing off. He couldn't do much during that period, and will now look to improve his numbers when they host RB Leipzig on Saturday.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sasa Kalajdzic - Starts in return Kalajdzic took six shots (one on target), made one tackle (zero won) and one clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Greuther Furth.

Impact Kalajdzic started and played the full 90 minutes for the first time in the season, in his second appearance. The forward recovered from a shoulder injured that sidelined him since August -- and led his side in shots during the match. He will now look to keep things rolling when they host RB Leipzig on Saturday.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Waldemar Anton - Makes five clearances in draw Anton took one shot on target, made three tackles (two won), one interception, five clearances and one block and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Greuther Furth.

Impact Anton had a good defensive outing, co-leading his side in clearances and making the second-most tackles. But he also received his third yellow card of the season in the proccess. The centerback will now face a tougher matchup against RB Leipzig on Saturday.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Muller - Keeps clean sheet in draw Muller made two saves and one clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Greuther Furth.

Impact Muller wasn't really tested during the match and logged his third clean sheet in 14 starts. The goalkeeper's two saves also tied his second-lowest mark in the season. He will now look for another shutout when they host RB Leipzig on Saturday.

Atakan Karazor - Misses match against Greuther Furth Karazor has been ruled out of the match against Spvgg Greuther Furth on Saturday.

Impact Karazor will miss Saturday's fixture. The midfielder has failed to recover from a foot injury.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sasa Kalajdzic - Starts against Greuther Furth Kalajdzic has been included in the starting XI for the match against Spvgg Greuther Furth on Saturday.

Impact Kalajdzic will start Saturday's fixture. The striker has recently recovered from a shoulder injury.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Atakan Karazor - Dealing with foot injury Karazor is dealing with a foot problem that could sideline him versus Greuther Furth on Saturday. Manager Pellegrino Matarazzo told reporters, "Ata's commitment for Saturday in Fur...

Impact Even if Kazazor is able to play in Saturday's tilt, he may not offer much in the way of fantasy value given he generally lines up in a more defensive posture. In his last five outings, the midfielder has registered one assist, two shots (one on target) and one cross (accurate).
