Luca Jaquez - Breaks nose Jaquez suffered a broken nose in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Union Berlin, according to his club.

Impact Jaquez has been confirmed to have suffered a nose Saturday despite playing the full 90, with the defender now set for further scans. The good news is he will likely still be able to play with a mask, hopefully not missing any time. However, if he does, he is a starter, so it would force a change, with Ramon Hendriks as a possible replacement.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Mittelstadt - Six crosses, four accurate Mittelstadt recorded two shots (one on goal), six crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Union Berlin.

Impact Impressively, 66.7 percent of Mittelstadt's six crosses are accurate. While that level of accuracy will not be continual, it continues to showcase his flank-related capabilities. During the 2024-25 Bundesliga, Mittelstadt logged seven assists, some from his 48 accurate crosses.

Jamie Leweling - Logs 11 crosses, three accurate Leweling registered three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Union Berlin. In addition, he was given a yello...

Impact For the 2024-25 Bundesliga, none of Lewelling's 28 appearances feature double-digit crosses, which he recently recorded Saturday. The 28 games include 58 crosses (10 accurate) and two assists. Based on Lewelling's latest appearance, he should improve on the former. Ideally for him, it will help him also increase the latter.

Deniz Undav - Eight crosses, four corners Undav had five shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Union Berlin. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 33rd...

Impact For the 2024-25 Bundesliga, six of Undav's 27 appearances include at least five shots, so him recently logging them should be no surprise. However, none of the games feature more than three crosses. The season also includes his zero corners. Undav consistently providing both would add a different element to his game and increase his overall upside.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Fuhrich - Assist off bench Fuhrich assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Union Berlin.

Impact Fuhrich's 2025-26 season began promisingly. He will look to bounce back from a disappointing campaign that saw his G/A significantly decrease from 15 to five. Even though VfB Stuttgart recently limited Fuhrich to reserve duty, that was the case last season as well, yet he still logged more Bundesliga starts (23) than substitute appearances (10).

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Tiago Tomas - Scores off bench Tomas scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Union Berlin.

Impact After a career season with VfL Wolfsburg, Tomas transferred teams to VfB Stuttgart. Post-transfer, the team has eased into him into its first action, but he stepped up nonetheless. Looking to improve a six-goal season, Tomas' 2025-26 commencement is promising.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Nubel - Zero saves, two goals conceded Nubel had no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact In terms of goalkeeping, Nubel's latest appearance brought nothing positive to the table. Ilyas Ansah scoring two past the goalkeeper worsened his situation. Nubel will try to redeem himself on Aug. 30, when Stuttgart's team hosts Monchengladbach.
