Noel Futkeu

Futkeu is riding a heat wave that screams start-or-sit decision making: he finished 2025/26 as the 2. Bundesliga top scorer with 19 goals and struck seven times across his last five appearances, form that prompted Eintracht to trigger a buy-back clause. That finishing run was backed by serious underlying numbers. Roughly 17 expected goals for the season and a high shot conversion that produced 19 goals and six assists overall. So his ceiling is a genuine goal-a-game threat if he keeps getting full minutes. The matchup helps too: Union Berlin conceded 58 goals last Bundesliga campaign, about 1.71 per game, which makes an away start attractive for a forward in form, but treat the floor as medium because this is a step up in competition and Eintracht may still rotate while integrating him into the Starting XI; Sorare Edge projects 79.2 with medium model confidence, so this is a high-upside pick with a realistic rotation risk.
