Eduard Lowen - Scores off bench in loss Lowen scored a goal off his lone shot, created two chances, sent in five inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (one won) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 loss aga...

Impact Lowen was brought at halftime to replace Robert Tesche and made most of the opportunity as he sent the ball into the far post with a beautiful finish from inside the box after Takuma Asano hustle play on the left flank in the 79th minute. This was the second goal of the season for the midfielder, who was mostly a reserve during the second half of the campaign.

Danilo Soares - Provides assist in loss Soares provided an assist, made two tackles (both won) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Union Berlin.

Impact Soares played at a more advanced position here and this change benefited him as he made his first appearance on the scoresheet of the campaign. In the 55th minute, he crossed the ball that was headed home by Simon Zoller for his side's first goal of the match. Soares was one of the league's best left backs for fantasy purposes this season but maybe we can see some new layers of his game if he's given more starts in a new position.

Simon Zoller - Scores in loss Zoller scored a goal off his lone shot during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Union Berlin.

Impact Zoller made just his second start since recovering from a knee injury that left him sidelined for several months and finished his campaign in style as he headed home a cross from the left to score his side's first goal in the 55th minute. The forward will hope this is a sign of better things to come for next season.

Patrick Osterhage - Starting finale Osterhage (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's finale against Union Berlin.

Impact Osterhage gets the call in the finale at center-back after missing last weekend's match. It's an odd position for him having started in the midfield in his prior stats and he's only gone a full 90 twice this season, though he'll likely add a third at center-back.

Kostas Stafylidis - Missing Saturday Stafylidis (illness) will miss Saturday's clash with Union Berlin, according to manager Thomas Reis.

Impact Stafylidis will miss the final match of the season with a cold. The defender is just returning from a three-match suspension and it turns out that red card will be his final action for the 2021/22 campaign. Stafylidis ends the season with 15 starts and 24 appearances, as well as three yellow cards and one red card.

Christopher Antwi-Adjej - Ruled out with cold Antwi-Adjei (cold) will miss the final match of the season with a cold, according to manager Thomas Reis.

Impact Antwi-Adjei is set to miss the final match of the season with a cold. The midfielder has just returned from a groin injury and was hoping to end the season on a high note. This set-back means Antwi-Adjei will end the season with 25 appearances and 12 starts in that time.

Manuel Riemann - Three saves for win Riemann made three saves during Friday's 2-1 win over Bielefeld.

Impact Riemann made three saves and added two more clearances during Friday's 2-1 win. The keeper has now won two matches in a row against Dortmund and Bielefeld. Riemann is a solid Bundesliga keeper, but doesn't have a particularly brilliant defense in front of him. Next up is the final match of the season, a trip to Union Berlin on Saturday.

MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gerrit Holtmann - Busy in win Holtmann (knock) shot four times (three on goal) during Friday's 2-1 win over Bielefeld.

Impact Holtmann shot four times as he started despite a knock last time out against Dortmund. The forward has been a consistently strong option on the wing for Bochum, with five goals and four assists so far in the 2021/22 Bundesliga season. Holtmann will close out the season against Union Berlin, looking to top 10 goal contributions for the first time in his Bundesliga career.

MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takuma Asano - Three shots for win Asano shot three times off goal and created two chances during Friday's 2-1 win over Bielefeld.

Impact Asano has shown no qualms about shooting on sight lately, with seven shots in his last three matches. Unfortunately for the winger, none of those have been on goal. If Asano could start putting some more dangerous shots on goal he has the potential to score much more frequently. Asano closes the season out away against Union Berlin on Saturday.

MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Milos Pantovic - Assists Friday Pantovic provided one assist during Friday's 2-1 win over Bielefeld.

Impact Pantovic provided one assist Friday as he created four chances and kept a strong duty on set-pieces. The midfielder is a solid fantasy play, especially lately with 12 crosses and eight corners in his last two matches. Pantovic will close the Bundesliga campaign out against Union Berlin, who are fighting for a Europa League spot towards the top of the table.

MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Polter - Scores again Polter scored once on three shots on goal during Friday's 2-1 win over Bielefeld.

Impact Polter scored for the second match in a row to move to double-digit goals on the season. The forward has been closing the season out in good form and continues to look like one of the best forward at the bottom of the Bundesliga. Polter will close the season out against Union Berlin on Saturday.

Danilo Soares - Starting against Bielefeld Soares (undisclosed) will feature in the starting XI versus Arminia Bielefeld on Friday.

Impact Soares may not be able to go the full 90 minutes after missing the club's previous clash with Borussia Dortmund but should still offer decent fantasy value given his ability to push the attack from the back line, though his lack of corner taking duties will prevent him from being a top-end option.

MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christopher Antwi-Adjej - Makes bench appearance Antwi-Adjei (groin) logged 22 minutes off the bench against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Impact After missing the three previous contests, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the club easing Antwi-Adjei back into the squad. Even prior to getting hurt, the forward was far from a lock for the starting XI, having featured in just 12 of his 25 appearances, and may not be able to crack the starting XI heading into Friday's matchup with Arminia Bielefeld.

Danilo Soares - Back in squad Friday Soares (undisclosed) is expected to rejoin the squad against Arminia Bielefeld on Friday. Manager Thomas Reis told reporters, "Danilo Soares has completed training and is pail free...

Impact If he starts, Soares should be expected to reclaim his spot at left-back where he has started all 28 of his appearances this season. In his last five outings before getting hurt, the defender registered 16 crosses but only one accurate along with four shots (one on target) and five chances created.

Patrick Osterhage - Out Friday Osterhage (undisclosed) is out for Friday's clash with Bielefeld, according to manager Thomas Reis.

Impact Osterhage is out for Friday's clash with Bielefeld with an undisclosed injury. It's unclear if he will be able to make his way back for the final match of the season, a Saturday trip to Union Berlin. Osterhage wasn't an anticipated starter Friday, even if fully fit and available.

Manuel Riemann - Heroic for win Riemann made six saves during Saturday's 4-3 win over Dortmund.

Impact Riemann faced nine shots from Dortmund and stopped six of them to earn a win. The keeper is a solid fantasy play and tends to face some massive shot volume. Next up is a favorable clash with the offensively poor Bielefeld on Friday.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takuma Asano - Pair of assists in win Asano provided two assist on two chances created during Saturday's 4-3 win over Dortmund.

Impact Asano provided two assists, bringing his total for the season up to three. The forward has lined up consistently on the wing, recently the left wing, though occasionally on the opposite side of the pitch. Asano has limited fantasy value, but he should have plenty of upside against Bielefeld next time out.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jurgen Locadia - Scores off bench Locadia scored once on one shot during Saturday's 4-3 win over Dortmund.

Impact Locadia came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of Saturday's win and managed to get on the scoresheet. The forward hasn't been much of an option for Bochum, but could be given more playing time in the final two matches of the season. Next up for Locadia is a Friday clash with Bielefeld.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Milos Pantovic - Goal, assist in win Pantovic scored once and provided one assist during Saturday's 4-3 win over Dortmund.

Impact Pantovic scored his fourth goal of the season during Saturday's win, adding an assist in the match as well. The midfielder has lined up all over the pitch with starts on the wing, in midfield and in attacking midfield. Pantovic isn't much of a fantasy option, but should have plenty of value against Bielefeld next time out, who have struggled defensively throughout the season.
