A surprising long-distance runner and the sprint to a record

Finishers: Even without being a fan of the Green-Whites, there is no stronger striker duo in the Bundesliga than Niclas Füllkrug and Marvin Ducksch. The “ugly birds” did not only demonstrate their impressive connection in Mönchengladbach, and it is no wonder that the two are targets for their teammates time and time again. Only Marcus Thuram has attempted more shots (76) than “Fülle” (70) and “Duckschi” (63). The two have even set up more shots on goal for each other (37) than Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi (36).

Regulars: Among outfield players, only Micky Van de Ven (VfL Wolfsburg) and Matthias Ginter (SC Freiburg) have played all of the total 2,250 minutes in the Bundesliga this season. In the Werder squad, a change took place in the rankings of the regular players on matchday 25, since Jiri Pavlenka (2,009 minutes) was out at the last minute. Niclas Füllkrug (2,119) now has the most playing time, with Marvin Ducksch also just behind the Czech Republic international Pavlenka in this statistic.
