There are some interesting games this week with Union taking on Schalke, Dortmund taking on Hertha, and Bayern taking on old rivals Borussia to name a few. We take a look at the best players in each position in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 21.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Randal Kolo Muani | SGE | vs SVW | 13.8M | Last week was his first blank in six matchdays. He has blanked in consecutive games only once, so I am fully backing him to do well here. |
| 2 | Serge Gnabry | FCB | @BMG | 16.3M | My top differential for this week. Even though he is predicted to play as a wing-back, he won't be able to help himself and bomb forward into the box. With Sommer switching allegiances, it should be even easier to score. |
| 3 | Sébastien Haller | BVB | vs BSC | 13.6M | If I had a transfer to spare on a Dortmund attacker, I think my first priority would still be one of their midfielders. |
| 4 | Jamal Musiala | FCB | @BMG | 15.5M | |
| 5 | Mergim Berisha | FCA | vs TSG | 9.9M | Hoffenheim have conceded 12 goals just over the past three games. Augsburg haven't done any better in terms of form with just six points off their last six matches but that does not make Berisha a bad pick. He is the only viable asset from the team with 10 G/A in 14 Bundesliga games and will probably score again if Hoffenheim don't turn things around. |
| 6 | Steffen Tigges | KOE | @VFB | 4.2M | |
| 7 | Michael Gregoritsch | SCF | @BOC | 10.3M | |
| 8 | Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting | FCB | @BMG | 6.1M | Losing steam and not predicted to start by all sources so I would be a bit careful. |
| 9 | Sheraldo Becker | FCU | vs S04 | 11.8M | Just in case Schalke defensive run comes to an end (which it will eventually). |
| 10 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | @FCA | 13.9M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | @BOC | 16.3M | Bochum are third for the most goals conceded from set-pieces (10) after Hertha (13) and Eintracht Frankfurt (12), so this is Grifo territory. |
| 2 | Julian Brandt | BVB | vs BSC | 15.3M | 14, 16 and 11 in the last three matches. Hertha might've won the last game but considering how much bad Borussia have been, I will pass that as a fluke. |
| 3 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | vs M05 | 13.1M | Predicted to play OOP again. |
| 4 | Florian Kainz | KOE | @VFB | 10.5M | |
| 5 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | @BMG | 16.3M | All the signs are pointing at a Borussia rout and Kimmich is available on a big discount this week. |
| 6 | Jude Bellingham | BVB | vs BSC | 15.7M | You might want at least one Dortmund midfielder for star flexbility this week and Bellingham is the best option if you want to look beyond Brandt. |
| 7 | Ritsu Doan | SCF | @BOC | 10.4M | |
| 8 | Dominik Szoboszlai | RBL | @WOB | 15.2M | |
| 9 | Jesper Lindstrøm | SGE | vs SVW | 13.6M | Not putting up big scores as consistently and with tough games until MD26, I think I will stay away for a while. |
| 10 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | @FCA | 14.2M |
Defenders
| Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | vs S04 | 9.5M | The second best defence in the league meets the team that hasn't conceded in three games = Unstoppable force meets immovable object. |
| 2 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | vs M05 | 13.7M | |
| 3 | Niko Gießelmann | FCU | vs S04 | 8.2M | Feeling a little too confident about the Union cleansheet this week. |
| 4 | Raphael Guerreiro | BVB | vs BSC | 12.8M | Scores of 17 and 28 in his last two games but you just know that he will flop once you get him in. |
| 5 | Benjamin Pavard | FCB | @BMG | 12.6M | Similar scores as Davies over the past few games and less risky. |
| 6 | Julian Ryerson | BVB | vs BSC | 6.2M | With some sources predicting Wolf to start over Guerreiro, Ryerson is a bit more safer. |
| 7 | Jonas Hector | KOE | @VFB | 10.5M | Yet to see anyone talk about it but Schalke are not the only team to keep three cleansheets over their last three Bundesliga games. |
| 8 | Christian Günter | SCF | @BOC | 13.8M | |
| 9 | David Raum | RBL | @WOB | 12.7M | |
| 10 | Philip Max | SGE | vs SVW | 8.9M | Hasn't been as attacking as I expected so he is wait and watch for me. |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frederik Rønnow | FCU | vs S04 | 6.4M | |
| 2 | Gregor Kobel | BVB | vs BSC | 10.9M | If you can keep a cleansheet against Chelsea, Hertha shouldn't be much trouble. |
| 3 | Yann Sommer | FCB | @BMG | 8.9M | |
| 4 | Marvin Schwäbe | KOE | @VFB | 6.4M | |
| 5 | Rafał Gikiewicz | FCA | vs TSG | 7.1M | Outside chance for a cleansheet+saves potential. |
Value Rankings
| Rank | Name | Position | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Danilho Doekhi | DEF | FCU | vs S04 | 6.2M | |
| 2 | Ellyes Skhiri | MID | KOE | @VFB | 9.7M | A bit unconvential but hard to look away from when he has been Koln's top scorer over the past five games with five goals and an assist. |
| 3 | Philip Hofmann | FWD | BOC | vs SCF | 5.8M | Freiburg are favourites on paper but their defence isn't out of the water as they have conceded 15 goals over the past six games. Only Hoffenheim have conceded more with 19. |
| 4 | Arne Engels | MID | FCA | vs TSG | 1.5M | |
| 5 | Ralf Fährmann | GKP | S04 | @FCU | 1.6M | |
| 6 | Jeff Chabot | DEF | KOE | @VFB | 4.6M | Overlooked despite averaging 8.1 points per game across his seven starts this season. |
| 7 | Niclas Füllkrug | FWD | SVW | @SGE | 8.8M | |
| 8 | Fabian Bredlow | GKP | VFB | vs KOE | 1M | Cheapest starting keeper in the game right now. |
| 9 | Jere Uronen | DEF | S04 | @FCU | 4.1M | |
| 10 | Finn Dahmen | GKP | M05 | @B04 | 2.5M |
