Why we like him
Burger's real edge is chance creation and steady minutes, not flash goals; he finished the campaign with double-digit goal contributions and an above-average expected assists profile that makes him a threat to supply chances against a Köln side that conceded roughly 1.8 to 1.9 goals per game last season. He is a regular in the Starting XI and averages about 84 minutes per appearance, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is attractive for lineups that prize guaranteed minutes. Treat him as a safe, assist-leaning midfield starter whose ceiling this matchup boosts because of Köln’s defensive leaks; projection systems (Sorare Edge 79.4, model confidence medium) favour him, but expect upside to come more from chances created and set-piece involvement than from runaway goal totals.
