Bayern face Bochum against whom they have scored 16 goals over their last three Bundesliga games but which of their forwards is the best? We take a look in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 20.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting | FCB | vs BOC | 6.1M | Bochum are in good form but they are the team with the worst record away from home for a reason and I can't see how Bayern don't score at least four goals here. The morale is high, pretty much their entire attack is in good form and they have scored 7, 2 and 7 goals in their last three Bundesliga games against them. |
| 2 | Randal Kolo Muani | SGE | @KOE | 13.9M | Koln were able to hold Leipzig goalless but Kolo Muani is too hot to ignore. It is like Frankfurt's best players over the last few years never left like Kostic, Haller, Jovic and Silva as he is filling in for all of them with 19 G/A in just 18 games. He has blanked only once in his last 11 Bundesliga games and I am sure he will find a way to be involved in goals again. |
| 3 | Kinglsey Coman | FCB | vs BOC | 14.4M | Coman has been lethal on the wings since winning a starting spot in the team and had five shots while the rest of the team struggled to have more than one. |
| 4 | Sébastien Haller | BVB | @SVW | 13.5M | Reactionary? Maybe but against Freiburg he looked like he never left and with almost the entire Dortmund attacking cast fit, he will have plenty of chances against Werder Bremen. |
| 5 | Jonas Wind | WOB | @S04 | 11M | Schalke suddenly learning how to defend reduces his upside a bit. |
| 6 | Leroy Sané | FCB | vs BOC | 16.6M | With Kimmich out, Musiala and Müller might play deeper, which is why Sané is a better option to me. I would've loved to rank him higher but I am still a bit concerned about his minutes with the UCL game against PSG coming up as he is Bayern's go-to player for the tournament. |
| 7 | Marcus Thuram | BMG | @BSC | 13.8M | A bit overlooked right now but Hertha are a lot worse than Schalke right now, so he could be a good differential. |
| 8 | Michael Gregoritsch | SCF | vs VFB | 10.2M | |
| 9 | Mergim Berisha | FCA | @M05 | 9.8M | Scored in three consecutive games. |
| 10 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | vs B04 | 13.9M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | vs VFB | 15.9M | Always back Grifo against a team that sucks at defending set-pieces. |
| 2 | Julian Brandt | BVB | @SVW | 14.9M | Still split between Brandt and Reus but Brandt has been BVB's best attacker in the last few games averaging 12.1 points over the last six. |
| 3 | Mattias Svanberg | WOB | @S04 | 11.3M | The focus has been on Wimmer lately but Svanberg has two goals, two assists, 12 shots, four key passes in the last three Bundesliga games. |
| 4 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | @TSG | 12.8M | Predicted to play OOP up top. |
| 5 | Jonas Hofmann | BMG | vs BSC | 14.6M | |
| 6 | Jesper Lindstrøm | SGE | @KOE | 13.6M | |
| 7 | Marco Reus | BVB | @SVW | 14.7M | |
| 8 | Dominik Szoboszlai | RBL | vs FCU | 15M | Szoboszlai can go off in any game but Union always make it tough for attackers to get any bonus points let a lone score or assist. |
| 9 | Ritsu Doan | SCF | vs VFB | 10.2M | |
| 10 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | vs B04 | 14.3M | New manager bounce? |
Defenders
| Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | João Cancelo | FCB | vs BOC | 12M | I was clearly wrong to think that he is out of form. If you don't own him yet, now is the best time as he is on sale. |
| 2 | Paulo Otávio | WOB | @S04 | 8.3M | |
| 3 | Christian Günter | SCF | vs VFB | 13.7M | A team that is struggling to keep cleansheets and a team that always struggles to score with a striker who hasn't scored in 14 games this season up front. I think I will back the defence here. |
| 4 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | vs BOC | 17.3M | Not predicted to start by all lineups. |
| 5 | Ramy Bensebaini | BMG | @BSC | 12.8M | Borussia's defence is far from the best but Hertha haven't scored in three games. |
| 6 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | @TSG | 13.3M | |
| 7 | Philip Max | SGE | @KOE | 8.2M | Did not look any special in his Frankfurt debut and Koln is far from an easy game. |
| 8 | Silvan Widmer | M05 | vs FCA | 9.4M | Considering that almost half of Augsburg's goals have come because of Berisha, I think it is easier for Mainz to keep a cleansheet here than Augsburg. |
| 9 | Julian Ryerson | BVB | @SVW | 6M | |
| 10 | Josip Juranović | FCU | @RBL | 7.8M | This game could easily end 0-0. |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Koen Casteels | WOB | @S04 | 11.3M | Schalke have learned how to defend but not to attack yet, so I am still happy to roll with Wolfsburg defenders. |
| 2 | Yann Sommer | FCB | vs BOC | 8.8M | |
| 3 | Jonas Omlin | BMG | @BSC | 8M | |
| 4 | Mark Flekken | SCF | vs VFB | 10.8M | |
| 5 | Rafał Gikiewicz | FCA | @M05 | 7.2M | Always at the top for saving shots. |

| 1 | Micky van de Ven | DEF | WOB | @S04 | 4.2M | One yellow card away from suspension. |
| 2 | Yannick Gerhardt | MID | WOB | @S04 | 6.7M | Budget Wolfsburg midfielder if you can't afford Wimmer or Svanberg. |
| 3 | Niclas Füllkrug | FWD | SVW | vs BVB | 8.7M | |
| 4 | Finn Dahmen | GKP | M05 | vs FCA | 2.2M | Expected to start for another week even though Zentner is back. |
| 5 | Lukas Kübler | DEF | SCF | vs VFB | 6.3M | |
| 6 | Joe Scally | DEF | BMG | @BSC | 6.2M | |

| 9 | Ralf Fährmann | GKP | S04 | vs WOB | 1.6M | |
