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. On the whole it was a busy showing, but not the most productive one, as Bayern simply kept the ball away from Tousart throughout. The midfielder will look to make a difference in the run-in despite seeing more defensive chances than anything else.

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.

Impact Tousart had two shots and little more during Sunday's draw as Hertha once again took only a single point.

Impact Tousart had plenty to do to contain a rampant Dortmund attack, and he filled the stat sheet Saturday. That said it wasn't enough to earn a point in the final match of the season. Tousart will hope for another solid season in 2022/23, though with only three goals in his two Bundesliga seasons, he won't be a major fantasy play.

Intercepts three times in loss Tousart took two shots (none on target), created one chance and intercepted three times in the 3-0 loss to Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact Tousart has struggled for the majority of the season, yet he surprised critics once again here. The midfielder has been on quite the lull this year in form after starting the season so strongly. However, over his last four performances, he seems to be turning a new leaf. In that span, he is averaging, 1.25 shots, 0.5 created chances, 0.75 crosses, 2.0 tackles and 1.5 interceptions per 90 minutes in all competitions. If he can continue these performances while adding more, he could be a worthwhile consideration moving forward.
