Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings for Matchday 26

Just two matchdays remain for a wildcard, but it couldn’t come sooner with plenty of new names added to the injury list, such as Hofmann, Gvardiol, Reus, Guerreiro and Nico Schlotterbeck. It is all about avoiding potential absentees in our injury-struck Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 26.

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	@TSG	23.8M
2	Alassane Pléa	BMG	vs BSC	15.2M	The only team worse than Borussia right now is Hertha who have conceded an average of 5.6 goals in their last three games. Pléa is in the form of his life, so I am confident that he will add to his tally of two goals and four assists in just the last five matches against Hertha. Plus, he has an early fixture next week against Bochum.
3	Leroy Sané	FCB	@TSG	17.3M
4	Moussa Diaby	B04	vs KOE	15.2M	Leverkusen are flying right now and have scored the most goals in the last six games with 20 (tied with BVB). Diaby has been involved in eight of them.
5	Donyell Malen	BVB	vs DSC	14.1M	He is no Haaland but other than Reus, Malen has been BVB's most active player in the attack lately and with his improving form, could be a good differential against Arminia.
6	Saša Kalajdžić	VFB	vs FCU	11.2M
7	Thomas Müller	FCB	@TSG	20.1M	Hoffenheim are Bayern's boogie team and have won three of their last five Bundesliga home games against the Bavarians, so I am a bit skeptical about doubling up on Bayern forwards this week. Especially when you consider Hoffenheim's good form, quietly pushing them to 4th on the table.
8	Anthony Modeste	KOE	@B04	10.3M
9	André Silva	RBL	@SGF	17.2M	Expected to start but I don't fully trust Tedesco since Silva has come off the bench in the last three games.
10	Marcus Thuram	BMG	vs BSC	12.8M	If you are short on budget to get Pléa.

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Florian Wirtz	B04	vs KOE	15M	The reverse fixture was an open game with a final score of 2-2, and I am expecting more of the same this time around.
2	Filip Kostić	SGE	vs BOC	17.9M	Kostić was excellent against Hertha and Real Betis in the midweek Europa League game and could continue his good form against Bochum, who are missing three first-team defenders this week (Soares, Leitsch and Gamboa).
3	Christopher Nkunku	RBL	@SGF	18.5M	If trends are anything to go by, Nkunku will score in this game, considering he blanked against Freiburg last week.
4	Patrick Wimmer	DSC	@BVB	6.7M	The Wolf-Can-Pongračić-Schulz back four is one of the worst backlines on paper I have seen in the Bundesliga. Arminia have only scored once in their last four games, but I would be more shocked if they don't score against BVB this week. Note: Wimmer is a slight doubt for this week.
5	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	vs WOB	16M	Grifo seems to be in and out of form instantly, so it is almost impossible to predict when he could do well. Possibly the best star option from the first set of games? Maybe considering Wolfsburg's atrocious away form (four points in the last six away games while conceding 12 goals).
6	Daichi Kamada	SGE	vs BOC	12.4M	More involved than both Kostić and Lindstrøm over the last two games and worth considering if you expect Frankfurt to score plenty of goals in this game.
7	Julian Brandt	BVB	vs DSC	12.1M	No Dortmund midfielder is in form so picking one is more of a coin toss. Bellingham did have a goal in the reverse fixture, however.
8	Joshua Kimmich	FCB	@TSG	17.9M	There aren't many viable options in fantasy this week, but Kimmich has been fairly decent over the last two games with an assist, four shots, eight key passes and scores of 10 and 16.
9	Dani Olmo	RBL	@SGF	12.6M	Fürth have conceded the least goals at home in the last six games (3, tied with Mainz), so I would save that double up for another week.
10	Amine Adli	B04	vs KOE	8.8M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Nico Schlotterbeck	SCF	vs WOB	10.1M	A doubt for this week but still a great pick if he starts considering that only Hertha have scored fewer goals (3) than Wolfsburg (4) in the last six away games and the fact that they only managed an xG of 0.41 against out of form Union.
2	Angeliño	RBL	@SGF	15M	Based on current form, Leipzig have the best away defence in the last six games with only seven goals conceded, whereas Fürth have the second-worst attack at home after FC Köln (3) with only six goals scored in their last six home games.
3	Borna Sosa	VFB	@FCU	11.2M	Union have only scored in one of their last five Bundesliga games (3-1 win against Mainz on MD24), so in-form Sosa is a great differential star for this week.
4	Jeremie Frimpong	B04	vs KOE	8.2M
5	Jeremiah St. Juste	M05	-	6.4M	Kudos if you brought him St. Juste last week despite him being injured. That is another nine points this week without playing a single minute.
6	Evan Ndicka	SGE	vs BOC	11.4M
7	Stefan Lainer	BMG	vs BSC	8.5M	With another playmaker being injured for Borussia (Hofmann), we could see Lainer and Netz play a lot higher up the pitch.
8	Niklas Süle	FCB	@TSG	11.5M	Süle isn't playing as a right-back but is still able to generate plenty of bonus for shots and duels won.
9	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	vs VFB	10.1M	With a good matchup and set-piece duties to add to his upside against one of the worst set-piece defending teams, he is one differential to consider.
10	Maxence Lacroix	WOB	@SCF	9.9M	A bit hot-headed and can't keep himself away from getting yellow and red cards but still the best Wolfsburg defender in fantasy. Not that I am expecting a cleansheet.

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Mark Flekken	SCF	vs WOB	8.2M	There is a possibility that Flekken keeps a cleansheet in both the games before the IB with games against Wolfsburg and Fürth.
2	Frederik Rønnow	FCU	vs VFB	2.7M	If you need a budget keep this week, Rønnow is as good a shot-stopper as Flekken and Ortega.
3	Manuel Riemann	BOC	@SGE	5.9M	Riemann had a 20-pointer the last time these two sides met with a penalty and six shots saved.
4	Lukáš Hrádecký	B04	vs KOE	9.5M	Hrádecký has an individual fixture for the last two matchdays so he rotates with almost every keeper.
5	Andreas Linde	SGF	vs RBL	5.1M

Value Rankings

Rank	Name	Position	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Chris Führich	MID	VFB	@FCU	5.9M
2	Aarón Caricol	DEF	M05	-	3.9M	Seven points this week + has a game against Arminia next.
3	Lucas Alario	FWD	B04	vs KOE	9.5M	Paulinho is also worth a shout because he spams shots a lot, but Alario is more likely to score.
4	Luca Netz	DEF	BMG	vs BSC	4.1M
5	Niko Gießelmann	DEF	FCU	vs VFB	5.3M
6	Nico Schulz	DEF	BVB	vs DSC	4.6M	If Wimmer and Okugawa miss out, then even Dortmund's atrocious defence has a glimmer of hope of keeping a cleansheet.
7	Gerrit Holtmann	MID	BOC	@SGE	5.8M
8	Oliver Christensen	GKP	BSC	@BMG	1M	Could take over Schwolow's spot between the sticks but that is yet to be seen.
9	Taiwo Awoniyi	FWD	FCU	vs VFB	8.8M
10	Marvin Schwäbe	GKP	KOE	@B04	1.1M	Another enabler that is worth a shout is Wolfburg's Pervan.
