Four shots in draw Tousart had four shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Tousart was active in midfield, but failed to really make the most of his chances, creating a single chance and putting just a single shot on goal.

Impact Tousart disappointed for the third match in a row and was brought off after just 58 minutes.

Impact Tousart won't make his Union Berlin debut during the DFB Pokal, but could still return for the Aug. 20 Bundesliga opener against Mainz.

Impact Hertha BSC Berlin's 2022-23 season concluded, and it proved to be Tousart's best yet in terms of offense. He logged five goals and two assists across his 33 games (all started). Before the 2022-23 Bundesliga, Tousart had never logged more than two goals or multiple assists across a season before. Though it is unclear whether Tousart's contribution rate will be sustainable, it does cause him to have much more expectations from his team after the summer.

Impact Tousart got in on the scoring early, drawing the match level early in the first half Friday. The midfielder did well to pounce on a bouncing ball, a strikers instinct that has earned him a career-high four goals through 31 appearances. The midfielder will never be a prolific goal-scorer, but the offensive touch he's shown adds some upside to his stable defensive production.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in loss Tousart generated one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Tousart shot once during Sunday's loss, while also adding three tackles and a pair of interceptions.

The midfielder has shown strong volume from open play despite generally negative game scripts, giving him a solid floor in most formats.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Five interceptions in win over Koln Tousart had one shot on goal and made three clearances, five interceptions and one block during Saturday's 2-0 win over Koln.

Impact Tousart was solid as usual in the middle of the park, being disruptive as usual and frustrating opposing playmakers with his ability to read plays on the fly and his season-high five interceptions were a proof of that. One of Bundesliga's most productive defensive midfielders from a fantasy perspective, Tousart will certainly remain a must-have player for the second half of the season.
