Read on to find out the top 10 players in each position in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 2.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harry Kane | FCB | vs FCA | 15.4M | A goal, an assist and six shots. A debut can't get any better and if there was still some doubt that Augsburg might make it tough for Bayern to score in the derby, they have scored an average of 3.2 goals over the last seven home games in the Bundesliga against the Fuggerstädter. If you are still worried, don't forget that they conceded four goals at home against a new look Borussia team. |
| 2 | Loïs Openda | RBL | vs VFB | 14.2M | Yes, Stuttgart kept a cleansheet against Bochum but I think it was more about Bochum being awful (they lost to third division Arminia a few days ago) than Stuttgart's defence being good. This is still one of the worst backlines on paper and I think Leipzig will expose them. A good ceiling game for Openda and I think he is the best alternate forward star for the week. |
| 3 | Sébastien Haller | BVB | @BOC | 14M | Easy hold against Bochum. |
| 4 | Leroy Sané | FCB | @FCA | 14.4M | I preferred Gnabry initially but he might come off the bench again and Sané in Musiala's playmaking role is even more tempting. Seriously considering doubling up with him and Kane. |
| 5 | Donyell Malen | BVB | @BOC | 14.2M | Fun fact: Both Haller and Malen have never scored in their two games against Bochum across the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal but I think that changes this week. |
| 6 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | @FCH | 12.3M | Hoffenheim added some interesting new names to their front line but MD1 was enough proof that their attack still relies heavily on Kramarić. Even more so now that Baumgartner is gone. |
| 7 | Kevin Behrens | FCU | @SVD | 9.4M | I am not fully convinced of Behrens even though he got a hattrick last week but adding him because it is a great game on paper. He had four shots against Mainz and he won't be so accurate everytime. |
| 8 | Victor Boniface | B04 | @BMG | 12.2M | |
| 9 | Michael Gregoritsch | SCF | vs SVW | 12.3M | Spammed eight shots against Hoffenheim so the goals will come eventually. |
| 10 | Jonas Wind | WOB | @M05 | 10.4M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Julian Brandt | BVB | @BOC | 15.3M | Brandt had a hand in almost everything BVB did right last week with two shots and six key passes. If Bochum managed to conceded five goals against Stuttgart who are considered as one of the relegation contenders, I can't imagine how they can turn their performance around in a week against title contenders. |
| 2 | Dani Olmo | RBL | vs VFB | 14.1M | A matchup against Stenzel must be every winger in the Bundesliga's dream. |
| 3 | Jonas Hofmann | B04 | @BMG | 15.3M | I was leaning Wirtz last week but it looks like Hofmann might be an even more important player for Leverkusen in attack this season. |
| 4 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | @BMG | 14.3M | Yes, there are no midfielders under 14M in the top 5 for me this week. The midfield options are just that bad. |
| 5 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | vs SVW | 15.2M | |
| 6 | Rolland Sallai | SCF | vs SVW | 9.4M | Worth a shout against weaker teams but I still prefer Grifo. |
| 7 | Xavi Simons | RBL | vs VFB | 12.6M | Simons wasn't at his best last week but one bad game isn't enough to define him and you can pick him at a great discount this week. |
| 8 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | vs FCA | 15.2M | Hard to see him justify his price unless Bayern manage to score four or more goals and he gets a goal involvement. Not that I am ruling it out. |
| 9 | Florian Kainz | KOE | vs WOB | 11M | |
| 10 | Brenden Aaronson | FCU | @SVD | 8.9M | The only attacking midfielder that Union Berlin have if you want one. Unfortunately, the team still relies on their full-backs to build the attack so he might not be able to make a big contribution. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | vs FCA | 15.4M | As much as I hate to admit it, Davies might be worth the extra money over Mazraoui. He won't get 32 points every week which was his career best but Bayern seemed to almost always attack from the left side. |
| 2 | Josip Juranović | FCU | @SVD | 9.9M | Arguably the best defence in the league against the worst attack = Easy cleansheet? |
| 3 | Benjamin Henrichs | RBL | vs VFB | 11.2M | Raum has his set-pieces but Henrichs more than makes up for it with the bonus points he gets. He had 10 points without a return last week. |
| 4 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | @BMG | 14.4M | Grimaldo will come good eventually but I would still give Frimpong a higher chance to score or assist every week. |
| 5 | Ramy Bensebaini | BVB | @BOC | 11.9M | Bochum only managed four shots in total in a six-pointer. last week |
| 6 | Noussair Mazraoui | FCB | vs FCA | 11.3M | |
| 7 | Pavel Kadeřábek | TSG | @FCH | 8.2M | Showed some of his old form last week with two shots and three key passes for 10 points in a losing cause. |
| 8 | Anthony Caci | M05 | vs SGE | 7.1M | Considering that Frankfurt managed less shots than Darmstadt at home, I won't be surprised if Mainz manage to keep a cleansheet against a worn out Eagles team that played a UECL game midweek that might be without Kolo Muani by Sunday. |
| 9 | Joakim Mæhle | WOB | @KOE | 7.3M | |
| 10 | Philipp Max | SGE | @M05 | 10.3M |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frederik Rønnow | FCU | @SVD | 9.4M | A cleansheet shouldn't be a problem unless he concedes a penalty or two. |
| 2 | Kevin Müller | FCH | vs TSG | 5.1M | Saved six shots last week and now faces a team that loves to shoot but struggles to convert their chances. |
| 3 | Gregor Kobel | BVB | @BOC | 11.3M | |
| 4 | Noah Atubolu | SCF | vs SVW | 6.4M | Atubolu looks like he is one to watch for the future and this is probably the cheapest you can buy him this season as he is on sale. |
| 5 | Janis Blaswich | RBL | vs VFB | 4.9M |

| 3 | Robin Knoche | DEF | FCU | @SVD | 6.9M | |
| 4 | David Datro Fofana | FWD | FCU | @SVD | 8.2M | He had more shots than Behrens last week but is overlooked because he hasn't scored yet. |
| 5 | Kiliann Sildillia | DEF | SCF | vs SVW | 5M | |
| 6 | Nathan Ngoumou | FWD | BMG | vs B04 | 6.3M | |
