Contributes to two goals Weghorst logged one goal and one assist during a 3-0 win Saturday against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Impact Weghorst logged his best English Premier League stat line since transferring from VfL Wolfsburg. He has three goal contributions -- one goal and two assists -- across four EPL appearances.

Starting against Brighton Weghorst (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact As expected, Weghorst is fine Saturday and in the starting XI against Brighton. It's unknown if he'll be able to go a full 90 after going 75 minutes last match, but it's not like Burnley's forwards are the fittest at the moment and Jay Rodriguez is an option off the bench, as well.

Expected to be ready Saturday Weghorst (hip) has "done some light training" and manager Sean Dyche is expecting him to be "okay" for Saturday's trip to Brighton.

Impact It doesn't sound like a serious injury for Weghorst and he'll probably hold onto his starting role Saturday. If not, things may have to be moved around in the XI, as Burnley don't really have anyone else outside of Maxwel Cornet who could play as more of a striker.

Assists against Red Devils Weghorst was credited with an assist in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Impact The Dutchman has started and played the full 90 in his first two games with Burnley and while he's yet to score, he's already racked up five shots (one on target). He will try to open his personal account when the Clarets take on Liverpool on Sunday.

Joins Burnley Weghorst joined Burnley from Wolfsburg on a three-and-a-half-year deal, his new club announced Monday.

Impact Weghorst is as close a style comparison to former-Claret Chris Wood, so this move makes plenty of sense for all involved. What could be concerning is that Weghorst has only scored six times in 18 appearances this season after scoring 20 goals in 34 matches in the previous campaign. However, Wood never scored more than 14 goals in any of the past four full league seasons while Weghorst never scored fewer than 16 during that time. As he departs Germany there's a big hole to fill at his previous club, as Lukas Nmecha (ankle) is out for months and no other striker has provided similar contributions for a low-scoring club. At his new destination, Weghorst may need some time to settle in but should have few problems becoming the top option at striker.

Takes shot in draw Weghorst took a shot on target and created a chance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Hertha Berlin. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Weghorst wasn't able to break down Hertha's defense Saturday, but his side earned its first Bundesliga point since November. He will be looking for his seventh goal of the season next weekend against Leipzig, which have conceded 23 times in 19 matches.

Three shots in loss Weghorst shot three times (twice on goal) during Friday's 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Weghorst led the way for Wolfsburg, doing his best to break the dead lock. The forward is a solid option, but has only scored six times from 14 starts, failing to live up to his brilliant level of years past. Weghorst will hope to bounce back after the winter break.

Scores goal against Koln Weghorst scored a goal and created a chance in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat against FC Koln. He also made a clearance, and he took five shots (two on target) overall in the match.

Impact Weghorst scored his sixth goal of the season to regain the lead for his side on Tuesday, but they couldn't hold it and Koln came from behind to win the game. Wolfsburg have lost six games in a row now in all competitions, and the calendar year ends with a clash against the Bundesliga leaders Bayern, which have conceded 16 goals in as many matches.

Takes four shots versus Lille Wieghorst had four shots (two on target), five aerials won and one foul drawn in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Lille.

Opens the scoring early Weghorst scored a goal while taking two shots (both on goal) and creating a chance during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Weghorst found the back of the net after just two minutes opening the scoring in the match. The goal was the fifth of the season for the forward while his two shots and lone chance creaated were both the second highest totals on the team in the loss.

Ends goal drought in 2-2 draw Weghorst scored once, took one shot (one on target), created one chance and made one tackle (none won) in the 2-2 draw against Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday.

Impact Weghorst saved his performance with a right time, right spot goal in the draw Saturday. The forward since his return has been underwhelming at best with two total shots over three games. In 13 appearances this season he is averaging just over 2.0 shots per game, however, his shot quality is rather poor. He will remain a boom-or-bust option for the immediate future.

Two chances created, no goals Weghorst created two chances during a 1-0 win Saturday versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Despite not scoring any goals across his last three Bundesliga starts, Weghorst recorded two chances created during each of them. Fantasy managers could still log decent value from the 29-year-old's consistent output concerning that statistical category.
