1Omar MarmoushSGE@KSV11MA bit of a hot take but the numbers don't lie. Scores of 250+ in his last three games, plays against the worst defence in the league and could benefit from the absence of Ekitike.
2Harry KaneFCBvs B0420MLeipzig have a better fixture no doubt but given Kane's form, Openda's inconsistency and Leverkusen's inability to plug their leaky defence which conceded three against Wolfsburg at home last week, I still prefer Kane over Openda.
3Lois OpendaRBLvs FCA15M
4Marvin DuckschSVW@TSG10M
5Serhou GuirassyBVBvs BOC19M
6Deniz UndavVFB@WOB13MItching to rank him higher because he has scored in his last three games for Stuttgart and I won't be surprised if he scores again but the others just have better fixtures on paper.
7Benjamin ŠeškoRBLvs FCA14M
8Ermedin DemirovicVFB@WOB12M
9Victor BonifaceB04@FCB18MFaces Bayern away but I wouldn't count him out. I feel confident about this being a scoring fixture for both sides.
10Tim KleindienstBMGvs FCU12MThe Union Berlin defence is good but if a Borussia player has to score, it has to be Kleindienst because the others are toothless and have had no impact so far.

1Xavi SimonsRBLvs FCA17MFun fact: Leipzig have scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 games across all competitions against Augsburg.

A good sign for Simons but it still feels like a tossup for who will do better this week..
2Vincenzo GrifoSCFvs STP15MExcept for the Bayern game, Grifo has been on a tear so solely based on form alone he is much better than Simons but the fact that St. Pauli have only conceded six goals still worries me a bit.
3Florian WirtzB04@FCB20MIf I had to select one Leverkusen player only this week, I would have Wirtz over anyone else.
4Jamal MusialaFCBvs B0420M
5Pascal GroßBVBvs BOC11MJust a hunch that BVB will bounce back strongly against Bochum after getting thrashed 5-1 by Stuttgart.
6Kevin StögerBMGvs FCU15M
7Julian BrandtBVBvs BOC14M
8Ritsu DoanSCFvs STP10MGiving good competition to Wanner for the best midfielder 10M or under. Averaging 200+ points this season and might be worth a double up with games against St. Pauli, Werder Bremen and Augsburg next.
9Paul WannerFCH@M058M
10Farès ChaïbiSGE@KSV10MIf you are looking for another Frankfurt attacker, I would take a look at Chaïbi but not sure he is still worth a punt.

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Mitchell WeiserSVW@TSG13MHoffenheim is like an injured animal waiting for a final blow. They are missing five players from the starting XI including Kramaric so they have no reliable playmaker to help them score and with an already struggling defence that has conceded the most goals (11) after only Kiel (13), it might turn ugly.
2Lukas KüblerSCFvs STP7MSt. Pauli have only scored one goal so far so I think Kübler could be an interesting differential star for those who dare.
3Nico SchlotterbeckBVBvs BOC14MI might be the only person crazy enough to still think so highly of Schlotterbeck. I will admit that it is hard to judge him as he had 350+ in his first game, got sent off in the second so missed the third and conceded five goals in the last one so did terrible but I am still optimistic.
4Álex GrimaldoB04@FCB20MStill wondering whether I should sell him for a week to invest the money elsewhere but I don't think it has ever worked out for anyone before.
5Waldemar AntonBVBvs BOC12MIf you haven't got it yet, I am very high on Bochum not scoring this week.
6David RaumRBLvs FCA15M
7Willi OrbanRBLvs FCA11MAnother differential to consider. One of the best duel meisters and is dangerous with his capability to score headers against one of the worst set-piece defending teams in the league.

We look at the best players in Bundesliga Fantasy for matchday 4 after the first matchday of Champions League games.

Forwards

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Harry KaneFCB@SVW20MKane at the top does not really need an explanation. He has two hattricks in a row, eight goals and two assists in four matches this season and on second thoughts might be the only player whose form is even remotely comparable to that of Haaland.
2Lois OpendaRBL@STP15M
3Victor BonifaceB04vs WOB18M
4Omar MarmoushSGEvs BMG11MFrankfurt isn't the team to score a lot of goals but the new scoring system still suits Marmoush a lot and he is averaging 263 points a game.
5Benjamin ŠeškoRBL@STP14M
6Kingsley ComanFCB@SVW13MUsually a very high scoring match for Bayern but I have questions about Coman's form and fitness.
7Deniz UndavVFBvs BVB13MYes, I trust a Stuttgart forward more in this match than a BVB one.
8Serhou GuirassyBVB@VFB19M
9Hugo EkitikeSGEvs BMG12M

1Jamal MusialaFCB@SVW20MBoth Musiala and Wirtz played around the same minutes in UCL midweek but there is a small doubt that Hofmann starts over Wirtz this week.
2Xavi SimonsRBL@STP17M
3Florian WirtzB04vs WOB20M
4Michael OliseFCB@SVW16MFeels like he is still finding his feet but the potential for a big haul is still there.
5Pascal GroßBVB@VFB11M
6Kevin StögerBMG@SGE15M
7Joao PalhinhaFCB@SVW13MDuels are worth gold now and Palhinha was by far the best player at winning duels in the top 5 leagues last season. It is early but I think he will be a reliable option for 200+ points every time he starts.
8Granit XhakaB04vs WOB15MLigainsider is only sure about Tah starting for Leverkusen so I am not too high on Xhaka either.
9Paul WannerFCHvs SCF8MThese are two teams that are strong at home but terrible away so I prefer Wanner over Grifo.
10Nadiem AmiriM05@FCA13M

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Álex GrimaldoB04vs WOB20MJust be wary of possible rotation.
2Nico SchlotterbeckBVB@VFB14MJoao Palhinha of defenders and also as prone to get a yellow card or get sent off.
3Diego LeiteFCUvs TSG9MAgainst a possibly Kramaric-less Hoffenheim, there is a good chance that Union keep their third cleansheet in four games.
4Dayot UpamecanoFCB@SVW12M
5David RaumRBL@STP15MStill a toss up between him and Henrichs but I prefer Raum because of the slightly higher chance of being involved in a goal.
6Jonathan TahB04vs WOB13M
7Benjamin HenrichsRBL@STP15M

1Harry KaneFCB@KSV20M
2Lois OpendaRBLvs FCU15MHis two goals against Leverkusen took sellers like me by surprise and even though Union have made a good start this season conceding just once (against weaker teams like Mainz and St. Pauli), I think Leipzig will be very high on confidence after ending Leverkusen's unbeaten Bundesliga streak.
3Deniz UndavVFB@BMG13M
4Tim KleindienstBMGvs VFB12MSleeper pick for a potential goal fest match.
5Marvin DuckschSVW@M0510MJust a hunch that he does well against a Mainz team without Hanche-Olsen.
6Serge GnabryFCB@KSV13MI would bump him higher if he wasn't predicted to play as a wing-back.
7Andrej KramarićTSGvs B0410M
8Maximilian BeierBVBvs FCH12MIt is only time he starts firing with Brandt, Sabitzer and Groß around him but he is still wait and watch for me especially with Heidenheim being in good form.

1Jamal MusialaFCB@KSV20MGiving him the edge because of the easier fixture but Wirtz is more likely to play the full match than him.
2Florian WirtzB04@TSG20MNote: Wirtz is not predicted to start anymore by Ligainsider.
3Kevin StögerBMGvs VFB15MThe safer option if you are worried about Musiala and Wirtz minutes who played 90 minutes on both of Germany's matches on 8th and 11th. I might not trust Borussia much at home but I trust Stuttgart's current defence even less so I am expecting some goals in this game.
4Vincenzo GrifoSCFvs BOC12MA little skeptical because Bochum's defence has been better than expected and Freiburg's offense has been worse than expected but I still think he might be worth a punt. Bochum have lost each of their last five Bundesliga matches against Freiburg
5Granit XhakaB04@TSG15M
6Xavi SimonsRBLvs FCU17M
7Michael OliseFCB@KSV16M

1Álex GrimaldoB04@TSG20MNew scoring rules but still the same old Grimaldo. Perma-star till the end of the season for me.

3David RaumVFBvs FCU15M
4Mitchell WeiserSVW@M0513MA very small sample but he deserves a mention just for being the highest scoring defender so far after Grimaldo. Worth noting he plays Bayern after this week.
5Waldemar AntonBVBvs FCH12MAnton has had a good floor so far and the absence of Nico Schlotterbeck might help him earn more bonus points.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Harry KaneFCBvs SCF20MFreiburg looked better than expected last week and Bayern worse than expected but this is generally a high-scoring fixture (for Bayern) so Kane at home is one of the safest options this week in my opinion.
2Serge GnabryFCBvs SCF13MWas at his spamming best in the first match with six shots and a goal but deserved more and he could finally be rewarded against Freiburg.
3Deniz UndavVFBvs M0513M
4Andrej KramarićTSG@SGE10MConsidering that Frankfurt shipped the most shots last week (20) against Dortmund, I don't think he is the worst third forward to own this week. The new scoring matrix favours players like him who do everything for the team in attack.
5Tim KleindienstBMG@BOC12M
6Karim AdeyemiBVBvs SVW11MBynoe-Gittens stole the show on matchday 1 but I think Adeyemi could be a cheeky differential this week.
7Victor BonifaceB04vs RBL18M
8Ermedin DemirovićVFBvs M0512MAlternate Stuttgart forward in case Undav still has fitness issues.
9Hugo EkitikeSGEvs TSG12M

1Jamal MusialaFCBvs SCF20MMusiala star for the ceiling and Stöger star for the ceiling.
2Kevin StögerBMG@BOC15MBochum did well last week to hold Leipzig to just one goal but even if Borussia don't score at all this week (which I don't totally rule out), I wouldn't be too worried since Stöger is one of the best floor players.
3Florian WirtzB04vs RBL20M
4Michael OliseFCBvs SCF16MNot Stöger but managed to get 200 points without a return last week. If Bayern are able to put three or four goals past Freiburg, there is a good chance he will be involved.
5Pascal GroßBVB@SVW11MStill early but seems like a gem at 11M.
6Granit XhakaB04vs RBL15M
7Julian BrandtBVB@SVW14MI just feel like Groß is more reliable than Brandt fantasy-wise.
8Enzo MillotVFBvs M0511M
9Xavi SimonsRBL@B0417MYou know the midfield options are stacked this week when players like Simons and Amiri are at the bottom of the list.

1Nico SchlotterbeckBVB@SVW14MIf you don't own him this week and for the rest of the season, you are playing the game wrong. The best duel winner in the league by far, the new scoring matrix has made him too overpowered as he had 228 points last week just for winning duels. I think he might be this season's Grimaldo.
2Dayot UpamecanoFCBvs SCF12MSince Bayern full-backs are unreliable in attack, Upa is a safe option with his duels won and forward passes.
3Álex GrimaldoB04vs RBL20MProved again last week that he is far better than Frimpong and was the best player in Bundesliga Fantasy for a reason.
4Jonathan TahB04vs RBL13M
5Lars RitzkaSTP@FCU5MAlso had almost 200 points for duels won last season and costs only 5M. Good chance he even gets a cleansheet this week.

Bundesliga Fantasy: New Bonus Points System and How it Affects Scoring

Leave a comment

Bundesliga Fantasy is back and in this article we take a look at how the new points system affects scoring in the game.

Bundesliga Fantasy has introduced some new changes for the upcoming season the most notable one being the change in the scoring system. Here are some of the new changes compared to the old system:

 

Old General Scoring Rules

The new rules offer a higher point potential for positive actions but impose much harsher penalties for negative actions. The system also shifts the focus from team results to individual performances. DNL created a table of what the total points for the best-scoring players from the 23/24 season would look like with the new points changes:

Most of the data is from whoscored.com but I also used fbref.com and one-versus-one.com as a reference. To keep it simple I excluded players that won’t be playing in the Bundesliga this season.

Final Thoughts

It seems that offensive players will be particularly overpowered this season but there is still some balance for players who aren’t involved directly in goals as often such as Kimmich, Stach, and Palhinha who might be good for their floor.

Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings for Matchday 22

Just 13 matchdays remain in the Bundesliga Fantasy season and we take a look at the best player picks including differentials that will give your team a boost in the final stretch of the season in our player rankings for matchday 22.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Harry KaneFCB@BOC20.2MBayern's recent form definitely raises questions but if anything, they tend to play better after embarassing losses. And this is the one week where you would want to hoard Bayern players as they have scored an average of 5.2 goals in their last five Bundesliga games against Bochum including three 7-0 wins.
2Leroy SanéFCB@BOC19.4MThe ceiling here is too high to not punt on two Bayern forwards.
3Deniz UndavVFB@SVD12.1MSeems like he is nailed to start while Guirassy is doubtful.
4Lois OpendaRBLvs BMG16.5M
5Niclas FüllkrugBVB@WOB17MFive goals and two assists in his last four games while Wolfsburg haven't won in five games. Good for a sneaky punt.
6Thomas MüllerFCB@BOC13.7MThree Bayern forwards if you are feeling adventurous but I would still like to have some Stuttgart or Leipzig attacking cover personally.
7Patrick SchickB04@FCH11.5MShould be on penalties with Palacios out which gives him a slight boost against the team that has conceded the most penalties so far.
8Andrej KramarićTSGvs FCU15M
9Ermedin DemirovićFCA@M0512.4MHe has quietly returned in four games in a row but I think Mainz' defence is a lot better than people think even if their form suggests otherwise.

10Jan-Niklas BesteFCHvs B049.9MMassive home game player but the Leverkusen defence is a brick wall that hasn't been breached in the last three games.

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Álex GrimaldoB04@FCH16.4MA lock for star for the rest of the season pretty much.
2Jeremie FrimpongB04@FCH19MHis attacking potential is always there but Leverkusen have also kept a cleansheet in their last 5/6 Bundesliga games if you needed another reason to double up.
3Raphael GuerreiroFCB@BOC14.3M
4David RaumRBLvs BMG13.5M
5Maximilian MittelstädtVFB@SVD7.8MA hard decision to rank him over Maatsen in the top 5 since both are equally good but I am giving him a slight edge because Darmstadt are significantly worse than Wolfsburg and haven't scored in their last three games while having only one shot on target in two of them.
6Ian MaatsenBVB@WOB11.1M
7Noussair MazraouiFCB@BOC12.2M
8Mitchell WeiserSVW@KOE11MThe only player I would consider from the early game but the options in defence are really good this week to pick him over someone else.
9Benjamin HenrichsRBLvs BMG13.4M
10Pascal StenzelVFB@SVD4.4MBudget Stuttgart option that rarely starts but when he does he has a weird knack for big scores against bottom teams (MD1 - 25 vs BOC, MD5 - 18 vs SVD and 18 against Mainz last week).

1Lukas HradeckyB04@FCH12.4M
2Fabian BredlowVFB@SVD4.1MShould be the Stuttgart #1 for a week or two.
3Manuel RiemannBOCvs FCB7.9MMakes the most saves when he plays the best teams so might be worth a punt on the bench.
4Michael ZettererSVW@KOE2M
5Kevin MüllerFCHvs B046.7M

3Nadiem AmiriMIDM05vs FCA7.3M
4Max FinkgräfeDEFKOEvs SVW1.8MPotential breakout star that has a high floor and tends to get 8+ even without returns. Koln fans will tell you that he is the next big thing.
