Chris Fuhrich - Logs 45 minutes Sunday Fuhrich (collarbone) came on at halftime versus Bochum on Sunday and tallied one chance created and 24 completed passes.

Impact Fuhrich was making his first appearance of the season for the club after breaking his clavicle in the preseason. Even fully fit, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI and may have to settle for a few substitute outings from time to time.

Florian Muller - Bounces back with big game Muller made four saves and recorded one clean sheet in the 0-0 draw with Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Muller was beaten three times only a week prior to Leverkusen, but he returned with a massive game and his first clean sheet of the season. The keeper has struggled thus far and this is a positive sign moving forward. Muller was forced a few times to make saves in one on one scenarios or high-danger attempts from set-pieces. He does need to cut down his goals-against though, otherwise, he is a great option at the position.

Konstantinos Mavropanos - Sees goal called back in draw Mavropanos took one shot (one on target), made three tackles (two won) and intercepted three times during the 0-0 draw against Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Mavropanos was tremendous on the defensive side of the game, but he did very little offensively. Even though the defender slots in at the right-flank, he has yet to truly produce from it this season. He does jump up in the attack a few times a match, but nothing comes from it besides a shot or two. His fortunes would have been different here, if not for his goal being taken back from a questionable handball. Otherwise, Mavropanos generates defensive stats in bunches and he is a great option to consider.

Wataru Endo - Offers solid performance in draw Endo took two shots (two on target), made three tackles (two won), intercepted twice and received one yellow card during the 0-0 draw with Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Endo was one of the best players for Stuttgart thanks to his all-around performance. The midfielder had a decent attempt on the net and he continued to provide a balanced defensive effort. Endo is by far one of the better all-around players in the Bundesliga and he offers solid value game in and game out.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tanguy Coulibaly - Is held quiet in draw Coulibaly made two tackles (two won), intercepted once and received one yellow card in the 0-0 draw against Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Coulibaly has yet to truly shine this season. However, he did receive his second consecutive start here. Unfortunately, though, he did very little on and off the ball and he managed to snag his third consecutive yellow card as well. He will need to be more aware of his play moving forward, otherwise, he could see himself suspended soon enough.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Omar Marmoush - Drops form in draw Marmoush took one shot (none on target), created one chance and made three tackles (two won) in the 0-0 draw against Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Marmoush was average at best in the draw Sunday. The midfielder dropped form after having two solid performances back-to-back that saw his first goal of the season. In that span he averaged, 4.0 shots, 1.5 created chances, 3.0 crosses, 2.0 corners and 2.0 tackles. Those are solid numbers and the reason why he got a third consecutive start. He will need to bounce back though if he wants to be a mainstay in the starting XI.

Chris Fuhrich - Back on training pitch Fuhrich (collarbone) participated in Wednesday's training session in the lead-up to the match against Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Considering Fuhrich has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season, it seems likely that he will be eased back into action with a substitute appearance or two before getting a chance to break into the starting XI. Even once up to match fitness, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to secure a spot in the lineup, making him a mid-range fantasy option at best.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Waldemar Anton - Available Sunday Anton will be eligible for Sunday's matchup with VfL Bochum after serving a one-match suspension.

Impact Anton started all four of the club's matches this season prior to getting suspended, so he figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI. In those appearances, the defender recorded three shots (zero on target), two crosses (one accurate) and 15 clearances.

Florian Muller - Concedes three on Sunday Muller allowed a goal while making a save during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Muller allowed a goal in the first half and two in the second as Stuttgart fell to ten-man Leverkusen on Sunday. The keeper has now allowed 11 goals in five league starts while his lone save upped his season total to 19.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Borna Sosa - Main creator on Sunday Sosa took an off target shot, crossed ten times (four accurate) and created four chances during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Sosa was held off the scoresheet despite being the main creator for Stuttgart on Sunday. The wide man took just one shot, but his ten crosses and four chances created were both team-high totals in the loss.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Orel Mangala - Scores before substitution Mangala scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal) and crossing once inaccurately during Sunday's match with Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Mangala found the back of the net in the 38th minute, scoring to cut Leverkusen's lead in half at the time. The goal was the first of the season for the midfielder while his two shots tied for the team-high total as of his substitution in the 60th minute.

Philipp Forster - Won't play Sunday Forster is dealing with an infection that will sideline him versus Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.

Impact Forster will be unavailable for his second straight contest as a result of his lingering illness. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder made three straight starts in which he generated one assist, eight shots (one on target) and five chances created.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Waldemar Anton - Picks up red card Anton was given a straight red card in Sunday's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt and will be banned versus Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.

Impact Anton has started all four matches for the club this season in which he generated three shots (zero on target), two crosses (one accurate) and 15 clearances. With the central defender unavailable, Pascal Stenzel may be tasked with making his first start of the year against Leverkusen.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Orel Mangala - Handed yellow card Sunday Mangala was given a yellow card after coming off the bench in the 70th minute against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Impact Mangala was back on the pitch for the first time in nearly six months. Barring any setbacks, the midfielder should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday and could be a decent mid-range fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Naouirou Ahamada - Begins individual training Ahamada (ankle) started individual training work Monday.

Impact Ahamada's return to the training pitch is certainly a step in the right direction, though until he can participate in full team training, the midfielder will continue to watch from the sidelines. Once fully fit, Ahamada should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI, though he could still make several appearances off the bench as well.
