Impact Skhiri was a doubt to even play in Tuesday's clash but played, and started, scoring an early goal. While it was only good enough to salvage a point it's still a huge point for Koln as a whole.

Impact Prior to Saturday's contest, Skhiri had gone goalless in his opening 17 matches of the year and had put just three efforts on target. As such, Skhiri probably shouldn't be expected to suddenly start scoring with any sort of consistency, limiting his overall fantasy value.
