Marvin Schwabe - Makes four saves in win Schwabe made four saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld.

Impact Schwabe has been performing well after solidifying FC Koln's third win in a row. The goalkeeper has denied several opportunities, making over 15 saves since the beginning of April. However, Schwabe's recent struggles are due to his failure to keep a clean shutout. With six goals against in his last five games, questions on Schwabe's goalkeeping abilities have yet to find an answer.

Jan Thielmann - Scores off the bench Thielmann scored one goal on one shot (one on target) in Saturday's 3-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld.

Impact Thielmann scored a late goal off the bench during the 86th minute to solidify the win for FC Koln. The young midfielder showed promise in his offensive abilities after scoring one in just 12 minutes of being in the game. With only eight starts out of 27 games so far this season, Thielmann is unlikely to repeat this performance due to his inconsistent playing time for the 2021 season.

Impact Modeste dominated the struggling Arminia Bielefeld squad after scoring in the 43rd minute and also delivering a superb assist in the 86th minute. Modeste has been on a terror for FC Koln scoring two goals and recording three in his past four games. After tallying his 17th goal of the season, Modeste is likely to continue his success for the rest of the Bundesliga season.

Mark Uth - Scores early in win Uth recorded one goal on five shots (three on target) and delivered an assist during Saturday's 3-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld.

Impact Uth had an exceptional performance for FC Koln scoring in the 4th minute and delivering a beautiful assist in the 43rd minute. Uth has been a top forward in recent Bundesliga matches recording one goal and four assists in just his last three games. With his playmaking and finishing ability on the offense, Uth is likely to continue his production for the remainder of his 2021 campaign.

Kingsley Schindler - Returns to U-21's Schindler (personal) is back with the U-21's and is returning to training, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Schindler is back with the squad and is in training. He will be playing with the U-21's while he finds more fitness. It's still unclear what the personal reasons were for Schindler, but he missed over a month, so he will need to build fitness in training and with the youth team.

APRIL 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Andersson - Out once more Andersson (COVID-19) will be out for Saturday's match against Bielefeld, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Andersson will be out once more, as he has now missed nearly a month with COVID-19. The forward is testing negative but has yet to return to full fitness in training.

Marvin Schwabe - Four saves for win Schwabe made four saves and one clearance during Saturday's 3-1 win over Gladbach.

Impact Schwabe made four saves and looked imperious in net, shutting down a variety of top chances from Gladbach. The keeper has been in immaculate form of late, with 11 saves in his last three matches, shutting down some strong defenses. Schwabe's only issue currently is an inability to convert clean sheets, with only three from 17 starts. He will look to earn a fourth against a poor Bielefeld attack next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Uth - Good form continues Uth provided two assists on five chances created during Saturday's 3-1 win over Gladbach.

Impact Uth provided his second and third assist in the last two matches during Saturday's 3-1 win. The forward is a strong fantasy play in this sort of form, and with his duty on set-pieces he has a rock-solid floor as well. Uth should be one of the top players next time out, expecting major volume against a struggling Bielefeld defense.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Kainz - Goal, assist in win Kainz scored once and provided an assist on two chances created during Saturday's 3-1 win over Gladbach.

Impact Kainz scored and assisted his fourth goal of the season in an all-around excellent showing. Even more impressively he did this all with a little over an hour on the pitch. There weren't any immediate injury concerns regarding his removal, and Kainz should be a top play against Bielefeld next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dejan Ljubicic - Nets yet again Ljubicic scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Gladbach.

Impact Ljubicic had one goal total for the season before entering April, he now has three. It's been an excellent month for the midfielder who is going through a real purple patch. Ljubicic and Koln are firing on all cylinders and a clash with Bielefeld should be nothing but a confidence builder next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Modeste - Scoring again Modeste scored once on two shots on goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Gladbach.

Impact Modeste is back in the starting XI and is back scoring once more. The forward had limited chances but tallied his 16th goal of the season with his usual efficiency. Modeste will be a top fantasy play against a dreadful Bielefeld side next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Andersson - Remains out Andersson (COVID-19) is out for Saturday's clash with Gladbach, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Andersson remains out with COVID-19, though he is no longer testing positive. The forward is working to rebuild his fitness, which is taking longer than originally expected. Andersson will hope to continue to rebuild his fitness before a Saturday clash with Bielefeld.

Sebastian Andersson - Training alone Andersson (COVID-19) is training individually Tuesday, according to Koln.

Impact Andersson is in individual training as he works on returning to fitness. The forward has tested negative for COVID-19 and left quarantine, but needs to find fitness once more, and wants to avoid rushing back into a heavy workload. It's likely the Andersson will be on the bench for Saturday's trip to Gladbach.

APRIL 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Benno Erik Schmitz - Returns to training Schmitz (strain) is back in training Tuesday, Koln announced.

Impact Schmitz is back in training and should be back in the starting XI quickly after recovering from a muscle injury. The defender would likely be the first choice right-back when fully fit and available.

APRIL 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Florian Kainz - Fires in eight crosses Kainz had eight crosses, four corners, one tackle, one interception and sustained two fouls in the 3-2 victory over FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Impact In an attempt to come back from a two goal deficit, Kainz tried his best to set his teammates up with an assist. The forward is a very aggressive crosser, so expect him to log a few more against Monchengladbach.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Uth - Assists teammate in victory Uth had one assist, one shot (off target), five crosses, three corners, one interception, three fouls, created four chances and sustained two fouls in the 3-2 victory over FSV Main...

Impact With his side down two goals, Uth changed the direction of this match by finding Ellyes Skhiri in the 60th minute for his side's first goal. This was the forward's first assist in his last six appearances, but maybe he can find another against Monchengladbach.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dejan Ljubicic - Scores equalizer goal as substitute Ljubicic had one goal on one shot, two crosses and two fouls in the 3-2 victory over FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Impact After coming back from a two goal deficit, Ljubicic managed to score a solo goal in the 78th minute, 20 minutes after he subbed on. The midfielder is not typically a scoring threat, and with inconsistent playing time, it is unclear whether he will make a big contribution against Monchengladbach.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Kilian - Scores winning goal against FSV Mainz Kilian had one goal on one shot, two interceptions and three tackles in the 3-2 victory over FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Impact With time running out, Kilian managed to score a solo goal in the 82nd minute to push his side ahead. The defender rarely scores, and he is unlikely to do so again in the next match against Monchengladbach.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ellyes Skhiri - Scores once in victory Skhiri had one goal on one shot, one cross, one interception, two tackles, created one chance and sustained two fouls in the 3-2 victory over FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Impact After going down by two goals, Skhiri started the comeback in the 60th minute thanks to the assist from Anthony Modeste. The midfielder is not typically an offensive threat, but look out for him on the defensive end against Monchengladbach.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Schwabe - Lets in two goals Schwabe had four saves and conceded two goals in the 3-2 victory of FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Impact Though FSV Mainz put up an effective offensive effort, Schwabe had enough stopping opportunities to win the match for his side. The keeper has now gone three consecutive appearances without a clean sheet, but that may change against Monchengladbach.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Timo Horn - Starts on bench Horn will start the match on the bench against Mainz on Saturday.

Impact Horn will start Saturday's fixture on the bench. The goalkeeper was uncertain to take part in the match because of the flu.

Sebastian Andersson - Out Saturday Andersson (COVID-19) is out for Saturday's clash with Mainz, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Andersson is out for Saturday's clash with Mainz, as he recovers from COVID-19. The forward has been doing well lately, but Mark Uth should be a more than competent replacement in the starting XI. Andersson will hope to return as soon as possible, which would be a trip to Gladbach on Saturday.

APRIL 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Salih Ozcan - Out Saturday Ozcan will miss Saturday's clash with Mainz and is in quarantine, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Ozcan is out for Saturday's clash with Mainz, as he is in quarantine. The midfielder is one of the best options for Koln when fit, and missing him should be a big loss for the side. Ondrej Duda is a likely replacement in the starting XI.

APRIL 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jan Thielmann - Sees fifth yellow card Thielmann was shown his fifth yellow card of the season during Friday's 1-0 loss to Union Berlin.
