Scores winner against Werder Vazquez scored a goal off his lone shot and drew two fouls during Saturday's 1-0 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Vazquez delivered a role-driven ceiling moment by scoring the match-winner in his second straight start since returning from a long injury layoff, but his fantasy value remains capped by early substitutions. He is clearly trusted in the XI right now and operating in an advanced role, yet the recurring hook before the match settles keeps his floor volatile and matchup dependent, at least until he is back to top form.

Impact Vazquez was not training with the club a week ago but despite a recent rise in fitness, he remains out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg.
