Consistent starter Weigl provided a pair of assists in 33 appearances (all starts.)

Impact Weigl played a major role in holding midfield yet again, missing just a single match due to a suspension. The defensive midfielder was one of the most crucial pieces of the midfield throughout the campaign, but he remains a bit of a limited option moving forward as he offers little in the attack.

Sets up goal but not much else Weigl assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 4-4 draw against FC Augsburg.

Impact Hadn't it been for a delightful through ball that resulted in Tomas Cvancara's first goal, Weigl wouldn't have done much from a fantasy perspective. Given the central midfielder plays a holding role and rarely moves forward, his upside won't be too high even if he starts regularly. To note, he should remain in the XI when Monchengladbach takes on Leverkusen on Saturday.
