Impact While Kalajdzic may not be ready for the starting XI, he could get onto the pitch for just the second time this season with his last outing coming Aug. 20 against RB Leipzig.

Florian Muller - Seven saves in rout Muller made seven saves during Tuesday's 5-0 loss to Munich.

Impact Muller made seven saves and somehow still had a respectable fantasy day simply due to the obscene amount of shots Munich managed. The keeper is a strong fantasy option in any match and is worth considering against Koln before the winter break.

Omar Marmoush - Three shots in loss Marmoush shot three times off goal during Tuesday's 5-0 loss to Munich.

Impact Marmoush shot three times, failed to threaten the net and did little else Tuesday. The forward has been in great form lately, but he simply got nothing going against Bayern and fell to complete irrelevance. He will have an easier time against Koln before the winter break.
