Manuel Riemann - Heroic once more Riemann made five saves and one clearance in Saturday's 4-0 defeat versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Riemann is on pace for one of the most ridiculous Bundesliga seasons of all time. The veteran goalkeeper is on pace for 208 saves and 98 goals conceded. Those are such mind-boggling tallies and yet they still don't do just how awful this Bochum side is. Riemann has some value due to the sheer amount of saves he is forced into making, but the volume means he will likely be held to under five clean sheets in 2022/23.

Ivan Ordets - Busy defensively Ordets had four tackles (one won), six clearances, and two interceptions in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Ordets shows the one bright side to this Bochum starting XI, if you can consider monstrous defensive volume a bright side. In reality this is a roster heading towards relegation and with nearly no offensive upside. Ordets will continue to fill the stat sheet, but that's about all that can be said of any piece of the Bochum defense.

Gerrit Holtmann - Shut down in loss Holtmann had one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 loss against RB Leipzig.

Impact Holtmann managed only a single shot as Bochum were entirely shut out of any sort of attacking chances. It's a brutal match for Holtmann but there's no light at the end of the tunnel, next up is Frankfurt, and then a trip away to Stuttgart, both of which project as tough matches. Holtmann and Bochum as a whole are simply an awful fantasy environment.

Cristian Gamboa - Blown away Gamboa had two crosses (one accurate) and zero chances created in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to RB Leipzig.

Impact Gamboa's two crosses were just about the sum off offense attempted by Bochum on Saturday, which is just as awful as it sounds. The right-back was moved onto the right side of a back five where he was still stuck with full time defending duties. There is next to no offensive upside anywhere on the pitch for relegation-favorites Bochum.

Patrick Osterhage - Creates a chance Osterhage had three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 loss against RB Leipzig.

Impact Osterhage created his second chance of the campaign in just his second start. Osterhage has struggled with availability earlier in the campaign but when healthy will likely play some role in midfield, though it's possible he's moved into a more defensive role. Osterhage is worth targeting for a floor, but Bochum has next to no offensive upside as a team.
