We look at the best players in Bundesliga Fantasy in each position for matchday 5.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Omar Marmoush | SGE | @KSV | 11M | A bit of a hot take but the numbers don't lie. Scores of 250+ in his last three games, plays against the worst defence in the league and could benefit from the absence of Ekitike. |
| 2 | Harry Kane | FCB | vs B04 | 20M | Leipzig have a better fixture no doubt but given Kane's form, Openda's inconsistency and Leverkusen's inability to plug their leaky defence which conceded three against Wolfsburg at home last week, I still prefer Kane over Openda. |
| 3 | Lois Openda | RBL | vs FCA | 15M | |
| 4 | Marvin Ducksch | SVW | @TSG | 10M | |
| 5 | Serhou Guirassy | BVB | vs BOC | 19M | |
| 6 | Deniz Undav | VFB | @WOB | 13M | Itching to rank him higher because he has scored in his last three games for Stuttgart and I won't be surprised if he scores again but the others just have better fixtures on paper. |
| 7 | Benjamin Šeško | RBL | vs FCA | 14M | |
| 8 | Ermedin Demirovic | VFB | @WOB | 12M | |
| 9 | Victor Boniface | B04 | @FCB | 18M | Faces Bayern away but I wouldn't count him out. I feel confident about this being a scoring fixture for both sides. |
| 10 | Tim Kleindienst | BMG | vs FCU | 12M | The Union Berlin defence is good but if a Borussia player has to score, it has to be Kleindienst because the others are toothless and have had no impact so far. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Xavi Simons | RBL | vs FCA | 17M | Fun fact: Leipzig have scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 games across all competitions against Augsburg. A good sign for Simons but it still feels like a tossup for who will do better this week.. |
| 2 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | vs STP | 15M | Except for the Bayern game, Grifo has been on a tear so solely based on form alone he is much better than Simons but the fact that St. Pauli have only conceded six goals still worries me a bit. |
| 3 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | @FCB | 20M | If I had to select one Leverkusen player only this week, I would have Wirtz over anyone else. |
| 4 | Jamal Musiala | FCB | vs B04 | 20M | |
| 5 | Pascal Groß | BVB | vs BOC | 11M | Just a hunch that BVB will bounce back strongly against Bochum after getting thrashed 5-1 by Stuttgart. |
| 6 | Kevin Stöger | BMG | vs FCU | 15M | |
| 7 | Julian Brandt | BVB | vs BOC | 14M | |
| 8 | Ritsu Doan | SCF | vs STP | 10M | Giving good competition to Wanner for the best midfielder 10M or under. Averaging 200+ points this season and might be worth a double up with games against St. Pauli, Werder Bremen and Augsburg next. |
| 9 | Paul Wanner | FCH | @M05 | 8M | |
| 10 | Farès Chaïbi | SGE | @KSV | 10M | If you are looking for another Frankfurt attacker, I would take a look at Chaïbi but not sure he is still worth a punt. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mitchell Weiser | SVW | @TSG | 13M | Hoffenheim is like an injured animal waiting for a final blow. They are missing five players from the starting XI including Kramaric so they have no reliable playmaker to help them score and with an already struggling defence that has conceded the most goals (11) after only Kiel (13), it might turn ugly. |
| 2 | Lukas Kübler | SCF | vs STP | 7M | St. Pauli have only scored one goal so far so I think Kübler could be an interesting differential star for those who dare. |
| 3 | Nico Schlotterbeck | BVB | vs BOC | 14M | I might be the only person crazy enough to still think so highly of Schlotterbeck. I will admit that it is hard to judge him as he had 350+ in his first game, got sent off in the second so missed the third and conceded five goals in the last one so did terrible but I am still optimistic. |
| 4 | Álex Grimaldo | B04 | @FCB | 20M | Still wondering whether I should sell him for a week to invest the money elsewhere but I don't think it has ever worked out for anyone before. |
| 5 | Waldemar Anton | BVB | vs BOC | 12M | If you haven't got it yet, I am very high on Bochum not scoring this week. |
| 6 | David Raum | RBL | vs FCA | 15M | |
| 7 | Willi Orban | RBL | vs FCA | 11M | Another differential to consider. One of the best duel meisters and is dangerous with his capability to score headers against one of the worst set-piece defending teams in the league. |
| 8 | Diego Leite | FCU | @BMG | 9M | |
| 9 | Jeff Chabot | VFB | @WOB | 10M | |
| 10 | Robin Koch | SGE | @M05 | 10M |

| 1 | Gregor Kobel | BVB | vs BOC | 12M | |
| 2 | Noah Atubolu | SCF | vs STP | 9M | |
| 3 | Kauã Santos | SGE | @KSV | 5M | He was terrible in the midweek Europa League game but hopefully won't be dropped yet. |
| 4 | Péter Gulácsi | RBL | vs FCA | 10M | |
| 5 | Frederik Rønnow | FCU | @BMG | 10M |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Junior Adamu | FWD | SCF | vs STP | 6M | |
| 2 | Fabian Rieder | MID | VFB | @WOB | 9M | Führich 2.0 but from last season. |

| 4 | Tom Rothe | DEF | FCU | @BMG | 7M | |
| 5 | Nikola Vasilj | GKP | STP | @SCF | 7M | The chance of St. Pauli keeping a cleansheet against Freiburg like they did against Leipzig is not non-existent so it is possible. |
| 6 | Marvin Pieringer | FWD | FCH | @M05 | 6M | |
| 7 | Ansgar Knauff | MID | SGE | @KSV | 10M | If you are expecting Frankfurt to score 3+ then why not? |
| 8 | Wooyeong Jeong | MID | FCU | @BMG | 8M | |
| 9 | Nediljko Labrović | GKP | FCA | @RBL | 5M | Cheapest keeper not named Santos that is predicted to start. |
