Just 13 matchdays remain in the Bundesliga Fantasy season and we take a look at the best player picks including differentials that will give your team a boost in the final stretch of the season in our player rankings for matchday 22.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harry Kane | FCB | @BOC | 20.2M | Bayern's recent form definitely raises questions but if anything, they tend to play better after embarassing losses. And this is the one week where you would want to hoard Bayern players as they have scored an average of 5.2 goals in their last five Bundesliga games against Bochum including three 7-0 wins. |
| 2 | Leroy Sané | FCB | @BOC | 19.4M | The ceiling here is too high to not punt on two Bayern forwards. |
| 3 | Deniz Undav | VFB | @SVD | 12.1M | Seems like he is nailed to start while Guirassy is doubtful. |
| 4 | Lois Openda | RBL | vs BMG | 16.5M | |
| 5 | Niclas Füllkrug | BVB | @WOB | 17M | Five goals and two assists in his last four games while Wolfsburg haven't won in five games. Good for a sneaky punt. |
| 6 | Thomas Müller | FCB | @BOC | 13.7M | Three Bayern forwards if you are feeling adventurous but I would still like to have some Stuttgart or Leipzig attacking cover personally. |
| 7 | Patrick Schick | B04 | @FCH | 11.5M | Should be on penalties with Palacios out which gives him a slight boost against the team that has conceded the most penalties so far. |
| 8 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | vs FCU | 15M | |
| 9 | Ermedin Demirović | FCA | @M05 | 12.4M | He has quietly returned in four games in a row but I think Mainz' defence is a lot better than people think even if their form suggests otherwise. |
| 10 | Marvin Ducksch | SVW | @KOE | 12.8M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | @FCH | 19.1M | |
| 2 | Xavi Simons | RBL | vs BMG | 18.1M | |
| 3 | Jamal Musiala | FCB | @BOC | 17.4M | |
| 4 | Chris Führich | VFB | @SVD | 12.5M | |
| 5 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | @BOC | 16.1M | Only worth picking up if you believe that Bayern will score at least four goals in a game. This feels like one of those games. |
| 6 | Julian Brandt | BVB | @WOB | 18.2M | |
| 7 | Jonas Hofmann | B04 | @FCH | 17.1M | On sale if you have an extra midfield spot left for a premium player. |
| 8 | Dani Olmo | RBL | vs BMG | 13.9M | Was the first name out of my midfield until I noticed that Borussia is the worst team in the league when it comes to conceding shots. Now I am giving it a thought but I still prefer some of the other midfielders on this list above him this week. |
| 9 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | vs SGE | 17.5M | |
| 10 | Jan-Niklas Beste | FCH | vs B04 | 9.9M | Massive home game player but the Leverkusen defence is a brick wall that hasn't been breached in the last three games. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Álex Grimaldo | B04 | @FCH | 16.4M | A lock for star for the rest of the season pretty much. |
| 2 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | @FCH | 19M | His attacking potential is always there but Leverkusen have also kept a cleansheet in their last 5/6 Bundesliga games if you needed another reason to double up. |
| 3 | Raphael Guerreiro | FCB | @BOC | 14.3M | |
| 4 | David Raum | RBL | vs BMG | 13.5M | |
| 5 | Maximilian Mittelstädt | VFB | @SVD | 7.8M | A hard decision to rank him over Maatsen in the top 5 since both are equally good but I am giving him a slight edge because Darmstadt are significantly worse than Wolfsburg and haven't scored in their last three games while having only one shot on target in two of them. |
| 6 | Ian Maatsen | BVB | @WOB | 11.1M | |
| 7 | Noussair Mazraoui | FCB | @BOC | 12.2M | |
| 8 | Mitchell Weiser | SVW | @KOE | 11M | The only player I would consider from the early game but the options in defence are really good this week to pick him over someone else. |
| 9 | Benjamin Henrichs | RBL | vs BMG | 13.4M | |
| 10 | Pascal Stenzel | VFB | @SVD | 4.4M | Budget Stuttgart option that rarely starts but when he does he has a weird knack for big scores against bottom teams (MD1 - 25 vs BOC, MD5 - 18 vs SVD and 18 against Mainz last week). |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lukas Hradecky | B04 | @FCH | 12.4M | |
| 2 | Fabian Bredlow | VFB | @SVD | 4.1M | Should be the Stuttgart #1 for a week or two. |
| 3 | Manuel Riemann | BOC | vs FCB | 7.9M | Makes the most saves when he plays the best teams so might be worth a punt on the bench. |
| 4 | Michael Zetterer | SVW | @KOE | 2M | |
| 5 | Kevin Müller | FCH | vs B04 | 6.7M |
Value Rankings
| Rank | Name | Position | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Josip Stanišić | DEF | B04 | @FCH | 7.2M | Triple Leverkusen defence might sound crazy but it works so it isn't. |
| 2 | Moritz Nicolas | GKP | BMG | @RBL | 1.7M | |
| 3 | Nadiem Amiri | MID | M05 | vs FCA | 7.3M | |
| 4 | Max Finkgräfe | DEF | KOE | vs SVW | 1.8M | Potential breakout star that has a high floor and tends to get 8+ even without returns. Koln fans will tell you that he is the next big thing. |
| 5 | Anthony Caci | DEF | M05 | vs FCA | 5.8M | |
| 6 | Farès Chaibi | MID | SGE | @SCF | 8.8M | |
| 7 | Phillip Tietz | FWD | FCA | @M05 | 8.8M | |
| 8 | Justin Njinmah | FWD | SVW | @KOE | 3.4M | |
| 9 | Benedict Hollerbach | FWD | FCU | @TSG | 6M | |
| 10 | Pavao Pervan | GKP | WOB | vs BVB | 1.9M |
