Scores in rout Forsberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolfsburg.

Impact Forsberg scored once on his only shot to get on the scoresheet for Saturday's one-sided win.

Assists Saturday Forsberg assisted once to go with zero corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Forsberg provided one assist, his second in 12 appearances on just his sixth chance created. The attacking midfielder has had a mixed season to say the least with limited playing time and limited success in that playing time. Forsberg simply doesn't offer the brilliance he has in previous seasons, and heading into the break he has created six chances, and put just three shots on goal.

Nets off bench Forsberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Forsberg scored his second Bundesliga goal in his 11th appearance, this time off the bench. The attacking midfielder has entirely fallen out of the starting XI, but still sees consistent playing time off the bench, and would be the first option to fill in for injuries. With Dani Olmo back in the first team squad Forsberg's week-to-week upside is heavily limited, though he seems to have held onto a role on set-pieces.

Impact Forsberg came off the bench for the final 20 minutes Saturday and added an assist in the one-sided win.

Six goals Forsberg scored six goals and provided two assists throughout 31 appearances (20 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Forsberg scored six goals right around his totals from recent years, though his playmaking seemed to take a hit, as Christopher Nkunku became the focal point of the Leipzig attack.

Poor yet again Forsberg didn't shoot or create a chance during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Union Berlin.

Impact Forsberg has now produced two matches in a row with no shots or chances created and in both matches he was one of the first players to be replaced.
