Nkunku remains one of the premier options in the Bundesliga in all formats.

Impact Nkunku was one of Leipzig's few bright spots on the attacking end and even had a nice chance to open the scoring still in the first half but his efforts weren't enough to prevent a loss against a superior opposition. After scoring four times over the first four matches of the campaign, the forward was scoreless over the last four contests in all competitions. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Scores again Nkunku scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate), and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 tie against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Nkunku has two goals in the first two matches of the season as he looks to once again compete for Bundesliga player of the year honors. The forward looked excellent with returning strike-partner Timo Werner, who will likely relegate Andre Silva to a bench role. Nkunku is arguably the top forward in the Bundesliga since the departure of Robert Lewandowski and is worth considering in any format.
