Single corner in loss Chaibi registered two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Chaibi came off the bench and took a corner during Saturday's loss. The set-piece role is certainly nice, but the fact he's unable to establish consistent starting minutes is a bit of a concern. If Chaibi can't carve out a solid starting role he will be tough to trust moving forward.

Three shots in win Chaibi had three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Wolfsburg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th mi...

Impact Chaibi came off the bench for the second half of Saturday's win and hardly contributed. The attacking midfielder has surprisingly fallen out of the starting XI and seems set for a depth role. With European competition on the horizon there's a good chance Chaibi will be in line for plenty of minutes moving forward even if he doesn't start every week.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Busy on set-pieces Chaibi had one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Chaibi had a lion's share of the set-pieces Saturday and produced plenty of chances. None found the back of the net, but it's an encouraging role for the attacker. Frankfurt finally seem set for a consistent starting XI, and Chaibi should be a massive contributor in the starting XI. If Chaibi can stay fit he should have the volume to set new career-highs for goal contributions.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Frankfurt Chaibi scored twice and assisted four times in 28 appearances (21 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Chaibi was brought in to Frankfurt to replace the outgoing Jesper Lindstrom, and he did just that. Chaibi took on a solid starting role, and while his offensive tallies weren't incredible, he did well in a team that struggled to score. Chaibi could have some significant upside heading into 2024/25 as Frankfurt seemingly have found a cohesive offensive unit.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Assists early Chaibi assisted once to go with four shots (two on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Chaibi set up Hugo Ekitike for an early goal during Sunday's clash, but that was one of the few chances he got for real end product. Chaibi got on the ball plenty, but just couldn't make the most of those chances. Chaibi has established himself in the starting XI in recent months with great form and should be a big piece in the starting XI heading into the 2024/25 campaign.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Recovers from illness Chaibi (illness) is starting for Frankfurt during Sunday's match against Leverkusen.

Impact Chaibi returns from an illness which kept him out of last week's match against Bayern. The attacker had started three matches in a row prior to last week's absence scoring a goal and combining for three shots, 11 chances created and 24 crosses over those games.

Dealing with illness Chaibi will be a game-time decision to face Bayern Munich on Saturday due to an illness, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Unfortunately, Chaibi has been ill since yesterday....

Impact Chaibi looks to be likely to face a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's contest, as he is now dealing with an illness. This could be an issue, as he has started in 18 of the 25 games he has appeared in for this campaign, with Ansgar Knauff or Niels Nkounkou being his most likely replacements if absent. However, Chaibi will look to recover by the match, hopefully earning the start if he passes his testing.

Impact Chaibi found the back of the net in the 55th minute scoring Frankfurt's first goal while leading his side in crosses, chances created and tackles in the match. The goal was Chaibi's first since October and his first goal involvement since February despite being a consistent source of chances created and crosses when on the pitch.

Busy in loss Chaibi had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-0 loss against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Chaibi did most of his work from set pieces, but made the most of those chances to provide a nice floor. Still it's a tough match and this one-sided loss is really concerning for Frankfurt, who still have the toughest schedule remaining in the Bundesliga. Chaibi has a solid floor, but he could struggle for goal contributions in these matches.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Chaibi replaced Hugo Ekitike in the 71st minute. Chaibi created a chance and also contributed defensively with a tackle and an interception. He has not recorded a goal involvement since February.

Busy in win Chaibi registered two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win versus FC Heidenheim.

Impact Chaibi had plenty to do as he was tasked with leading the line with Hugo Ekitike dropped to the bench. Chaibi wasn't as comfortable as he normally is in attacking midfield, but he still did well on the whole. Chaibi has cemented himself as a consistent starting option, but moving forward his future likely lies alongside Omar Marmoush in attacking midfield, not leading the line.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist versus Bochum Chaibi delivered an assist, had two shots (one on target) and sent in 10 crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bochum.

Impact Chaibi had his first start since his return from AFCON and assisted Omar Marmoush for the opening goal of the match in the 14th minute. Then, the playmaker got involved in many other offensive actions throughout the contest from both open play and set pieces and racked up double-digit crosses for the third time over his last eight league appearances. After this performance, it will be hard envisioning Chaibi coming off the bench anytime soon.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Single shot in loss Chaibi recorded one shot (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Chaibi came off the bench for the second half of Saturday's loss, and took a significant role on set-pieces straight away. The midfielder is back from AFCON and has continued to earn a larger first team role throughout his first season with Frankfurt. Chaibi should be the first choice in attacking midfield moving forward in all competitions.

Links back with Frankfurt Chaibi will return to Frankfurt Thursday as he is expected to be an option for Friday's match against Mainz, per manager Dino Toppmoller. "The exit at AFCON is a shame. We haven't...

Impact Chaibi is making a return to Frankfurt after Algeria have been eliminated from the AFCON Cup. With Sasa Kalajdzic dealing with an injury, this means that the forward will likely return to his starting XI spot for the team against Mainz. He did start 11 of the 13 games played prior to leaving to his national team, logging in a goal and two assists in that span.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Attempts 14 crosses Chaibi generated two shots (two on goal), 14 crosses (four accurate) and seven corners in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Monchengladbach.

Chaibi finished the 2023 portion of the Bundesliga's current season with 79 crosses (16 accurate), 40 corners and 20 chances created across 15 appearances (11 starts).

Healthy for Sunday Chaibi (illness) has recovered from illness in time to start for Frankfurt on Sunday.

Impact Chaibi returns after being a doubt in the buildup to the match with a cold. The attacker has started nine of Frankfurt's last 10 league matches and has been deployed of late in the number nine role.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up illness Chaibi's status for Sunday's match against Bayer Leverkusen is currently in question, having picked up a cold just two days before the match, according to manager Dino Toppmoller....

Impact Chaibi could be missing out on the team sheet for the first time since the club's second match of the season, having picked up an illness ahead of Sunday's contest. This could be an unfortunate loss for Frankfurt heading into a highly contentious match, as the attacker has started in nine of the club's past 10 matches. He will hope to avoid the absence, but if that is not possible, expect Jessic Ngankam or Ansgar Knauff to get the starting nod depending on the formation the team goes with.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in new role Chaibi assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Chaibi got the start up top as a striker during Saturday's win and did well with the new role, making the most of it and assisting once. It's unclear if this new formation will stick, though with Chaibi's good showing it's hard to see why he would be bottled up next time out. The attacking midfielder has taken some time to gel but does seem to be growing into his more attacking role in Germany.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Attempts 10 crosses Chaibi generated two shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Occasionally, Chaibi can be a menace out wide, as his latest log proved Saturday. It marked his second time in the 2023-24 Bundesliga during which he attempted 10 crosses. Unfortunately for Chaibi, accuracy was an issue both games, and his two assists of the season coincidentally came from matchups in which he attempted fewer than five crosses.

Opens account Chaibi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-3 draw against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Chaibi scored his first Bundesliga goal during Sunday's draw, continuing on from his good form of late. The attacking midfielder earned a major role in the first team and hasn't looked back. With Chaibi in this sort of form he has helped provide a new spark in the Eagles attack as they look to make the most of life without Jesper Lindstrom.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First Bundesliga assist Chaibi had an assist while taking three shots (one on goal), crossing four times (two accurate) and creating three chances during Saturday's 3-1 win over Hoffenheim.

Ten crosses during start Chaibi recorded two shots (one on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory against FC Heidenheim.

Impact Chaibi began his October by serving as Eintracht Frankfurt's most threatening option from the flanks. Initially seeming like a high-octane backup option, he has established himself as a key attacking midfielder in Eintracht Frankfurt's formation. Chaibi logged 23 crosses (seven accurate) and created seven chances across his three games started from Sept. 24 to Oct. 8.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures permanent transfer Chaibi joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Toulouse on a permanent transfer Wednesday.

Impact Chaibi made two appearances off the bench to open the season with Toulouse, logging a combined 56 minutes in which he recorded one assist, seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners. Even with the move to the Bundesliga club, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI and will likely continue to feature primarily as a bench option.
