A game against bottom-ranked Greuther Fürth is as good as it gets for Lewandowski & Co as the Bayern Munich players top the charts in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 6.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | @SGF | 18.1M | It doesn't happen often that Bayern score seven goals and Lewandowski scores only one of them. Expecting a big game from him this time in the best possible fixture in Fantasy this season. |
| 2 | Erling Haaland | BVB | @BMG | 17.8M | This fixture has always been a high-scoring affair at least for Dortmund and against an underwhelming Borussia defence with Zakaria possible playing as a center-back, I'd expect Haaland to continue his run of three consecutive games with 15+ points again. The best part is that he has an individual fixture in case you have two Bayern forwards. Not expecting to star him though since Lewandowski should do the trick. |
| 3 | Thomas Müller | FCB | @SGF | 15.9M | Lewandowski needs someone to help him score goals against Fürth and there is no one else he can rely on more than Müller. |
| 4 | Leroy Sané | FCB | @SGF | 14.5M | Sané has been playing the best football of his career ever since he moved to his preferred position of left-wing again with 5 goals and 7 assists in just 8 games for club and NT but surely playing on the right to accommodate Davies shouldn't have a big effect on him? |
| 5 | Anthony Modeste | KOE | @SGE | 7.3M | I think that in-form FC Köln will run through winless Frankfurt and it is high time that managers consider Modeste seriously now that the entire attack is just built around him. |
| 6 | André Silva | RBL | vs BSC | 15.1M | |
| 7 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | @TSG | 15.2M | Does well when you least expect and it might be one of those weeks again since he plays Hoffenheim's leaky defence. |
| 8 | Taiwo Awoniyi | FCU | vs DSC | 7.5M | |
| 9 | Omar Marmoush | VFB | @BOC | 3.5M | There are few teams worse than Stuttgart to play after a 7-0. Bochum have now conceded the joint most goals in the league with 13 and have also conceded the most shots with 85. Stuttgart on the other hand are third for the most shots with 63 despite winning just one game and Marmoush has been shooting at free will with scores of 9 and 14 in his last two games where he had 3 and 5 shots. The best enabler among forwards. |
| 10 | Moussa Diaby | B04 | vs M05 | 12.9M | These are two teams that are in great form but I wouldn't expect much fantasy-wise against Bo Svensson's team. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jamal Musiala | FCB | vs SGF | 11.9M | Musiala is easily one of the best midfielders for this week if he starts so keep an eye out. |
| 2 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | vs SGF | 16.3M | Kimmich might be a defensive midfielder but he is still attacking enough to be the highest-scoring midfielder in the game currently. He is ESSENTIAL when Bayern only gives you defensive midfielders to choose from. |
| 3 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | vs BSC | 14.5M | A player that got 12 points without a return or a player that got 15 points with an assist and is reliant on set-pieces for bonus points? I think I would rather have the former. |
| 4 | Filip Kostić | SGE | vs KOE | 14.5M | |
| 5 | Dominik Szoboszlai | RBL | vs BSC | 11.2M | |
| 6 | Florian Kainz | KOE | @SGE | 7.7M | He is probably the best midfielder under 8M and plays a struggling Frankfurt team this week and Fürth in the Friday game next week. One to consider if you are planning for the future. |
| 7 | Rolland Sallai | SCF | vs FCA | 10.4M | |
| 8 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | vs M05 | 11.6M | Sure he is impressive for his age and is second in terms of G+A only to Haaland but I would still be wary of Mainz. |
| 9 | Ridle Baku | WOB | @TSG | 11.5M | |
| 10 | Jonas Hofmann | BMG | @BVB | 12.4M | Hofmann might play in his preferred left-mid position this week but I still wouldn't go this route even if I need a big differential to gain ranks. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | vs SGF | 14M | Davies possibly playing OOP on the left-wing against the worst defence in the league? YES PLEASE. |
| 2 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | @BMG | 14.8M | Guerreiro is on a hot streak with two goals in his last two games and double-digit scores in each game he has started in this season. Borussia might not be the ideal game but I would still get him if you don't already have him. |
| 3 | Niko Gießelmann | FCU | vs DSC | 4.2M | Gießelmann has been averaging more shots per game than almost all of his team's attackers and is an absolute bargain at just 4.2M. |
| 4 | Borna Sosa | VFB | @BOC | 11M | There were glimpses of the old Sosa in the last game as he had four key passes and a shot. This is an appealing fixture so I think that Sosa can build on some of that form here. He is an early pick for those who think that he can turn it around in the next two games against Bochum and Hoffenheim. |
| 5 | Kevin Mbabu | WOB | @TSG | 11.2M | Mbabu had an outrageous 17-point game without a single return against Frankfurt but I will mostly owe that to the absence of Baku on the same flank. |
| 6 | Mohamed Simakan | RBL | vs BSC | 9.5M | |
| 7 | Christian Günter | SCF | vs FCA | 11.7M | It is a bit strange but Freiburg are one of the remaining unbeaten teams in the Bundesliga and now face Augsburg who have scored just two goals in five games so far in the last fixture of the matchday. |
| 8 | Benno Schmitz | KOE | @SGE | 4.7M | FC Köln's entire game plan has been to cross as many balls as possible into the box for Modeste and the approach has been highly successful so far with Modeste scoring four goals and Schmitz assisting two of them. |
| 9 | Anderson Lucoqui | M05 | @B04 | 6.4M | |
| 10 | Mitchell Bakker | B04 | vs M05 | 7.5M |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mark Flekken | SCF | vs FCA | 6.6M | Flekken hasn't put a foot wrong yet with scores of 5+ in every game and a matchup in the final game against Augsburg is just perfect. |
| 2 | Manuel Riemann | BOC | vs VFB | 5.2M | I doubt that Bochum keep a clean sheet even against a struggling Stuttgart but there is plenty of potential for save points here. Fun fact: Keepers playing against the Swabians have averaged 8.8 points per game so far. |
| 3 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | @FCU | 8.2M | |
| 4 | Florian Müller | VFB | @BOC | 7.8M | Replaces Burchert because I don't think that he is capable of the same heroics as Reimann (five points despite conceding seven goals) against Bayern. |
| 5 | Robin Zentner | M05 | @B04 | 6.4M |
Value Rankings
| Rank | Name | Position | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jeong Woo-yeong | MID | SCF | vs FCA | 4.5M | He feels like a bit of a reactionary pick at this point but there is still value in a midfielder playing OOP as a striker. |
| 2 | Mateo Klimowicz | MID | VFB | @BOC | 6.8M | Klimowicz' shots seems to go anywhere except the back of the net but the scoring system of this game means that he is always a good shout for some bonus points regardless. |
| 3 | Gerrit Holtmann | MID | BOC | vs VFB | 5.2M | There is a lot of focus on Stuttgart's players but Bochum attackers deserve a mention as well because the Stuttgart defence is not that great either. |
| 4 | Sam Lammers | FWD | SGE | vs KOE | 7.3M | |
| 5 | Jan Thielmann | MID | KOE | @SGE | 3.8M | |
| 6 | André Hahn | MID | FCA | @SCF | 8.1M | |
| 7 | Robin Hack | MID | DSC | @FCU | 5.3M | You can ignore the value picks from this point onwards. |
| 8 | Chris Richards | DEF | TSG | vs WOB | 4M | |
| 9 | Joe Scally | DEF | BMG | vs BVB | 2M | |
| 10 | Linus Gechter | DEF | BSC | @RBL | 1M | I wouldn't expect too much from a free player that is going up against Leipzig. |
