Launches 10 crosses Becker had one shot, 10 crosses, one tackle and five fouls in the 2-0 loss to FC Augsburg on Saturday.

Impact In a strong offensive push to try and come back from behind, Berlin were taking every chance they had. While normally an aggressive crosser, 10 is high even for Becker. Unfortunately, none of them came to fruition, and his squad will need a little more luck against Dortmund.

Impact Becker was one of Union's best players on the offensive end, leading all players in chances created and racking up a lot of crosses, but his performance wasn't enough for his side to find the back of the net to leave the pitch with at least one point. Up next for the attacker is Wednesday's home match against Freiburg.

Unused substitute Sunday Becker (strain) was included in the match-day squad against Hoffenheim on Sunday but was an unused substitute.

Impact While Becker didn't get onto the pitch Sunday, the fact that he was healthy enough to be included in the squad could clear the way for him to get some minutes sooner rather than later. The forward started 15 of his 18 appearances last season and should be in the mix for the starting XI now that he is fully fit.

Impact If cleared to play, Becker should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI, especially if youngster Leon Dajaku (ankle) is deemed unfit. Last year, Becker registered three goals on 31 shots (10 on target), three assists and 52 crosses (14 accurate) in 18 contests (15 starts). Once 100 percent, Becker figures to serve as a solid top-half fantasy target given his offensive upside.
