Younes Ebnoutalib
Club: Eintracht Frankfurt
Position: Forward
How did he do on Matchday 4?
Pretty well. The 23-year-old tapped home the opener for Frankfurt in their 2-2 draw against Freiburg, putting him level with Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts with four goals.
He has an xG Efficiency of 1.05 so far in 2026/27, meaning he’s scored one goal more than statistically expected given the quality of chances he’s had.
In addition to his finishing, he showed that he can be a valuable asset in terms of his work rate: Ebnoutalib covered 11.29 km and made 18 sprints (both the most for any Frankfurt player), much of which came from pressing defenders high up the pitch.
