Hoffenheim are on a four-game losing streak, but a match against the worst team in the league in Greuther Fürth presents an excellent opportunity for the club to turn their form around and secure a spot amongst Europe’s elites. This is why players from the “Die Kraichgauer” rank high in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 30
Forwards
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | @DSC | 24.7M | Bayern are at their lethal best in the game after a loss, so it isn't looking good for Arminia who have already allowed nine goals in their last three games. |
2 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | vs SGF | 16.7M | Doubtful this week, so I would be careful with transferring him in. |
3 | Serge Gnabry | FCB | @DSC | 17.8M | If you expect Bayern to turn Arminia into a punching bag, Gnabry is one of the best differentials to consider as most of his best scores have come against bottom sides that concede a lot of shots. |
4 | Marco Reus | BVB | vs WOB | 16.9M | Haaland is due a goal, and he has scored three times in his last two games against Wolfsburg, but the fact that he is averaging one shot a game doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence. On the other hand, Reus is in top form with four goals and four assists in the same number of games. His record against Wolfsburg is just as impressive, with 14 goal involvements in 19 games against them. |
5 | Alassane Pléa | BMG | vs KOE | 15.9M | Based purely on form he would top this list ,but Köln's defence has been excellent away from home, making it difficult for attackers to generate shots or big chances, which is important for bonus points. |
6 | Thomas Müller | FCB | @DSC | 20.5M | |
7 | Jonathan Burkardt | M05 | vs VFB | 9.3M | If you are looking to punt on a Mainz forward, it is worth noting that Onisiwo's last 5/6 goal involvements have come away from home. |
8 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | @M05 | 11.9M | A bit of a gamble, but Stuttgart are playing with everything on the line, and the absence of three first-team defenders for Mainz (St. Juste, Hack and Martín) should certainly help their cause. |
9 | Anthony Modeste | KOE | @BMG | 10.7M | |
10 | Patrick Schick | B04 | vs RBL | 16.4M | He has been far from impressively lately, and the same can be said for the entire Leverkusen team, but at least he should be back on penalties now. |
Midfielders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | @B04 | 19.6M | Not the best fixture, but Nkunku is averaging an unreal 16.2 points per game in his last five away matches. This makes sense, considering that he is currently one of the most in-form players in the world with 48 goal involvements in just 43 games this season. |
2 | David Raum | TSG | vs SGF | 12.6M | Well rested and ready to go up against the worst defence in the league. |
3 | Filip Kostić | SGE | @FCU | 18.6M | Coming off the best performance of his career against Barcelona, Kostić should be full of confidence. |
4 | Jonas Hofmann | BMG | vs KOE | 15.4M | Still runs the risk of being subbed off early |
5 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | @DSC | 18.7M | Kimmich is yet to get a score below seven points in his last six games and is also one of the few midfielders with a standalone fixture this week and the next. |
6 | Jesper Lindstrøm | SGE | @FCU | 10.1M | |
7 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | vs BOC | 16.7M | Grifo seems to be the only midfielder from Freiburg who knows how to score goals and is easily one of the best midfielders from the early fixtures against Bochum's atrocious away defence. |
8 | Anton Stach | M05 | vs VFB | 6.3M | The best budget enabler in the game gets another boost as the absence of Martín should increase his set-piece duties. |
9 | Julian Brandt | BVB | vs WOB | 12.5M | |
10 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | vs SGF | 12.5M | His production has been lacking, and he is one yellow card away from suspension, but Baumgartner is still worth considering if you want a one-week punt. |
Defenders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | @DSC | 14.5M | A game against Arminia gives Davies the best offensive upside and cleansheet odds this week. |
2 | Ramy Bensebaini | BMG | vs KOE | 10.7M | Borussia had one of the worst defences in the league but have now conceded only one goal in their last four games. Managers who own Bensebaini will be hoping for another big performance by the birthday boy against Köln. |
3 | Nico Schlotterbeck | SCF | vs BOC | 10.5M | On suspension watch. |
4 | Iago | FCA | vs BSC | 8.1M | It might make you feel uneasy picking an Augsburg defender, but Iago has a goal, two assists and two cleansheets in his last four games. Hertha, meanwhile, are struggling to score even at home. |
5 | Borna Sosa | VFB | @M05 | 11.8M | Looked sharp against Dortmund and was unlucky not to score. Sosa is too involved in the Stuttgart attack to ignore. |
6 | Angeliño | RBL | @B04 | 15.5M | Again, a small rotation risk this week, so Gvardiol might be the safer pick. |
7 | Evan Ndicka | SGE | @FCU | 11.6M | |
8 | Pavel Kadeřábek | TSG | vs SGF | 9.5M | Lots of attacking potential and could keep a cleansheet, too but in the back of my head, I am always worried about Hoffenheim losing against a bottom team when everyone least expects it. |
9 | Moussa Niakhaté | M05 | vs VFB | 7.3M | Not that I am expecting a cleansheet but Stuttgart are one of the worst sides when it comes to conceding penalties. |
10 | Benno Schmitz | KOE | @BMG | 10.5M |
Goalkeepers
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Mark Flekken | SCF | vs BOC | 8.5M | |
2 | Yann Sommer | BMG | vs KOE | 10.3M | |
3 | Manuel Riemann | BOC | @SCF | 6.3M | |
4 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | vs FCB | 7.9M | Clearly Arminia cannot rely on their attackers to win them games, so it might be time for Ortega to step up again. |
5 | Marcel Lotka | BSC | @FCA | 1.1M | You can't look away when an enabler saves nine shots in a single match. |
Value Rankings
Rank | Name | Position | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Tanguy Nianzou | DEF | FCB | @DSC | 5.8M | Costs 5.8M and has a game against a side that has scored just one goal in their last six games. You couldn't ask for more. |
2 | Ihlas Bebou | FWD | TSG | vs SGF | 9M | While a 10-game goal drought isn't a good omen, a home game against Fürth, who have conceded an average of 3.2 goals per game away, certainly is. TSG also scored six goals in the reverse fixture, with Bebou scoring a hattrick. |
3 | Chris Führich | MID | VFB | @M05 | 6.5M | |
4 | Andreas Linde | GKP | SGF | @TSG | 5.2M | |
5 | Micheal Gregoritsch | DEF | FCA | vs BSC | 7.6M | In 2022, BSC have the worst defence conceding 31 goals in 12 games which is considerably worse than SGF (23) in second. Gregoritsch might not have the best ceiling but is a strong contender for the third forward spot with seven goals in his last 15 matches. |
6 | Lukas Nmecha | FWD | WOB | @BVB | 9.2M | At a minimum, Dortmund will be without Hummels, Guerreiro, Meunier, and Dahoud for this game. |
7 | Marvin Schwäbe | GKP | KOE | @BMG | 1.4M | |
8 | Danilo Soares | DEF | BOC | @SCF | 7.4M | |
9 | Chris Richards | DEF | TSG | vs SGF | 3.3M | |
10 | Branimir Hrgota | FWD | SGF | @TSG | 8.1M | It would be wrong to count Greuther Fürth out of this game when even Schalke and Hertha were able to beat Hoffenheim. |
