Bayern’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is in the form of his career in his 16th season with eight goals and three assists in just his last eight matches so it only makes sense that he deserves a spot in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 13.


Forwards

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Niclas FüllkrugSVWvs S047.7MLeft it late against Hertha last time out but Schalke is much easier opposition.
2Marcus ThuramBMGvs VFB13M
3Jamal MusialaFCB@BSC14.3MAlmost fixture-proof at this point and well rested for the game against Hertha.
4Sadio ManéFCB@BSC17.7MAlso considered Gnabry and Choupo-Moting who are also in great form but I prefer the higher upside of Mané and Gnabry has a terrible record against Hertha (1G, 2A in 11 matches).
5Randal Kolo MuaniSGE@FCA12MAugsburg still can't stop conceding goals and to make matters worse, they conceded 31 shots against Stuttgart in the last game which was their highest total in a game since 2007...
6Marvin DuckschSVWvs S048MAlways matching the number of shots+key passes that Füllkrug or out does him. Just needs to finish his chances.
7Alassane PléaBMGvs VFB11.9MWith Hofmann out, Pléa will be a lot more busy with playmaking but that just makes Thuram+Pléa one of the best double ups for this week in a matchday where I wish we had five forward spots instead of three. Plus, he plays Bochum next.
8Youssoufa MoukokoBVBvs BOC9.7MThe only Dortmund forward predicted to start this week so you are not spoilt for choice.
9Andre SilvaRBL@TSG12.8MThe biggest winner from Werner's departure. Silva has already had a good start to life under Marco Rose with four goals and four assists in just 13 games and now should be nailed to start most games until Werner is back. One for the long term.
10Sheraldo BeckerFCU@B0411MLeverkusen have conceded the most goals over the last three games (9, same as Bochum) and that probably makes Becker a great differential now that most he has blanked in five games in a row and most serious managers won't own him.




Midfielders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Christopher NkunkuRBL@TSG17.1M
2Jude BellinghamBVBvs BOC14.4MBellingham has been a different player since Reus got injured and is now up to nine goals and two assists this season in 19 matches making him the top-scorer for Dortmund despite playing as a central midfielder. With form like that, you would back him to score against Bochum.
3Jesper LindstrømSGE@FCA12.7MKamada being ruled out will keep the debate him and Lindstrøm out for a while and I think he might do even better in his absence against Augsburg.
4Vincenzo GrifoSCFvs KOE15.5MThe Köln fixture might not seem like the worst on paper but they have conceded the most goals over the last six games (16) and might miss Hector on this game.
5Julian BrandtBVBvs BOC13.1M
6Lars StindlBMGvs VFB10.3MDoes not have the same upside as he used to have but not a bad pick nonetheless. Replace him with Hofmann if he starts.
7Dominik SzoboszlaiRBL@TSG13.5M
8Leon GoretzkaFCB@BSC14.6MIt is going unnoticed but Goretzka has three goal involvements in his last four games and double-digit scores in the three out of his last four games.
9Florian KainzKOE@SCF10.1MI would like to think that he will score in this game but Streich rested the entire backline except Günter midweek meanwhile Kainz might be starting in his third game in a row in just six days.
10Leonardo BittencourtSVWvs S044.7MWill randomly score once in a while but remains hard to predict as always.
BonusAnton StachM05vs WOB10.1MA goal and two assists in his last four games. Faces Schalke next.

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Mitchel WeiserSVWvs S044.8MSchalke have only scored once in their last three games and haven't won away in the league in three years. Sure you still don't want Weiser?
2Alphonso DaviesFCB@BSC16.8MWith De Ligt being ruled out, Pavard will likely play as a center-back and Davies is the next best thing.
3Raphael GuerreiroBVBvs BOC12.3MMaybe it is last season's 3-4 Bochum win against Dortmund still lingering in my head but I have a hunch that they score again over here. Regardless, the attacking potential of both BVB full-backs should be on full display over here.
4Ramy BensebainiBMGvs VFB12.4M
5Niklas SüleBVBvs BOC10.6M
6Noussair MazraouiFCB@BSC10.7MIt is not a bad idea to hoard Bayern players until the World Cup break. They play Hertha, Werder Bremen and Schalke next so I am expecting all nine points and plenty of goals.
7Aarón MartínM05vs WOB8.6MJust have a strong feeling that Mainz bounce back against Wolfsburg.
8Christian GünterSCFvs KOE13.9M
9David RaumRBL@TSG12.4M
10Christopher TrimmelFCU@B049.8MJust be careful because apparently no Union wing-back is nailed this week.




Goalkeepers

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Jiri PavlenkaSVWvs S045.7M
2Manuel NeuerFCB@BSC12.2MStill a slight chance that Ulreich plays ove rhim.
3Gregor KobelBVBvs BOC10.5MThe most in-form goalkeeper in the league and that is starting to slowly reflect in his scores.
4Robin ZentnerM05vs WOB7.2MFlying under the radar despite averaging 7.6 points per game across his last five matches.
5Florian MüllerVFB@BMG6.8MSippel has the better cleansheet odds but Florian Müller is much better at saving shots and that is more important because Borussia will probably bombard him with it.

Value Rankings

1Anthony JungDEFSVWvs S043.2MDeserved a spot in the value picks last week but it isn't too late now.
2Eric Maxim Choupo-MotingFWDFCB@BSC5.1MEight goals and three assists in just his last eight games. Lewandowski who?
3Mergim BerishaFWDFCAvs SGE9MI feel like Ligainsider got their Frankfurt predicted lineup wrong but there is no way that Jakic plays center-back against Augsburg?
4Janis BlaswichGKPRBL@TSG3.2M
5Lukas KüblerDEFSCFvs KOE6.6MIt might sound slightly exaggerated but watching his attacking game after he returned from injury reminds me a bit of TAA.
6Tobias SippelGKPBMGvs VFB1.7M
7Lennart GrillGKPFCU@B041.1MShould keep his spot for this matchday at least.
8Marcus IngvartsenFWDM05vs WOB4.5MNo one really talks about him but he has scored in each of his last four Bundesliga games.
9Paulo OtávioDEFWOB@M058.2M
10Henning MatricianiDEFS04@SVW1MThe cheapest starting player this week.
