Assists Saturday Silva assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Union Berlin.

Impact Silva has struggled throughout the 2022/23 campaign, but earned an assist Saturday. The forward will likely fall back out of the starting XI when Christopher Nkunku is fit to return, but should see consistent playing time until that point. Silva has failed to live up to the hype since joining Leipzig, and hasn't really convinced when in the starting XI.

Goal, assist in win Silva scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Silva is off to yet another disappointing Bundesliga campaign, though he did add two goal contributions to move to three total across 15 appearances. The striker has come nowhere near the 28 goals and five assists he managed with Eintracht Frankfurt since joining Leipzig, and has largely been underwhelming. Christopher Nkunku remains an elite option in the Leipzig attack but Silva has underwhelmed heading into the World Cup break.

Assists in win Silva assisted once to go with zero corners in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Celtic.

Impact Silva has scored or assists in two matches in the 2022/23 campaign, and those are both fixtures against Celtic. It's been a dreadful start to the campaign for the striker who has largely fallen out of favor with Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku frequently starting. Against Celtic Silva has been unstoppable though, with two goals and an assist in the two matches. Silva will hope to translate some of that form to the Bundesliga as he continues to flounder with Leipzig after scoring 28 goals and assisting five times in his final campaign with Frankfurt.

Despite that brilliant pedigree he struggled in a much strong offensive environment with Leipzig. While 11 goals isn't an awful return, it's not what Leipzig, or fantasy managers, were hoping for from Silva. He will hope to lead the line in 2022/23, especially if Christopher Nkunku departs Leipzig.

Christopher Nkunku also tested positive over Christmas break, so it's unclear who will lead the line against Mainz if Silva doesn't test negative in time.
