Lukas Petkov

Petkov is legitimately hot right now, averaging 0.60 goals and 0.60 assists over the last five and logging about 81 minutes a game as a regular in Elversberg's Starting XI, which gives him a high ceiling at home against Bayer Leverkusen. The numbers back the upside: he finished 2025/26 with 13 goals and 6 assists and posted strong expected-goals output, so the recent hot streak looks like the continuation of real chance volume rather than a fluke. He also benefits from a midfield creator in Tom Zimmerschied, who led the team for big chances and expected assists, so Petkov should keep getting the quality service that produces shots and goal contributions.
