Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	Vs S04	18M	The MVP and golden boot winner playing Vs Schalke is just the most easiest recommendation for the week
2	Andrej Kramaric	TSG	@KOE	14M	Koln haven't seemed to improve their 2nd worst defense from last season but Kramaric's fitness holds a question in it's own.
3	Serge Gnabry	FCB	Vs S04	17M
4	Erling Haaland	BVB	Vs BMG	17M
5	Nicolas Fullkrug	SVW	Vs BSC	11M	Hertha just capped off an awful preseason with a 5-4 loss against a Bundesliga 2 team. I fancy some goals again in this one.
6	Thomas Muller	FCB	Vs S04	16M
7	Andre Silva	SGE	Vs DSC	14M
8	Yussuf Poulsen	RBL	Vs M05	11M
9	Patrick Hermann	BMG	@BVB	9M	Hermann has been excellent in the preseason but BVB is a challenge
10	Matheus Cunha	BSC	@SVW	12M

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Filip Kostić	SGE	Vs DSC	15M	The top scoring midfielder from Bundesliga Fantasy plays a newly promoted team on the first matchday. It doesn't get better
2	Dani Olmo	RBL	Vs M05	14M	This is going to be the most one sided fixture if the previous results of 5-0 and 8-0 victories of Leipzig Vs Mainz are anything to go by
3	Jadon Sancho	BVB	Vs BMG	17M
4	Leroy Sane	FCB	Vs S04	17M	A debutant but he definitely has more than enough talent to haul against Schalke. Watch out for his fitness though.
5	Joshua Kimmich	FCB	Vs S04	16M	Easily the worst affected player by the position changes but still a good shout as he is involved in attacks and set-pieces.
6	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	@VfB	11M
7	Lars Stindl	BMG	@BVB	12M
8	Daichi Kamada	SGE	Vs DSC	11M
9	Christoph Baumgartner	TSG	@ KOE	10M
10	Daniel Caligiuri	FCA	@FCU	9M	He should have most of the set-pieces on his feet now that Max has left the club.

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Alphonso Davies	FCB	Vs S04	15M	One of the best players last season, I expect him to dominate on both ends of the pitch against Schalke.
2	Angeliño	RBL	Vs M05	13M
3	Raphael Guerreiro	BVB	Vs BMG	14M	He has returned to being a defender after a year of being a midfielder and I think he is going to be a must have this season
4	Nordi Mukiele	RBL	Vs M05	10M
5	Christian Gunter	SCF	@ VFB	11M	He is going to be a set-piece threat with his deliveries Vs a newly promoted Stuttgart side
6	Danny Da Costa	SGE	Vs DSC	10M
7	Pavel Kaderabek	TSG	@KOE	11M
8	Benjamin pavard	FCB	Vs S04	15M
9	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	Vs FCA	10M
10	Maximilian Mittlestadt	BSC	@SVW	8M	Hertha might not have much going their way defensively but he might get on the attack playing out of position as a winger

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Florian Muller	SCF	@VFB	4M	The injury to Flekken has given Muller an opportunity on the team with most shots conceded last season
2	Alexander Schwolow	BSC	@SVW	10M
3	Rafal Gikiewicz	FCA	@FCU	7M
4	Yann Sommer	BMG	Vs BVB	12M	The best keeper in terms of fantasy points last season but I would recommend using the cash elsewhere
5	Andreas Luthe	FCU	Vs FCA	5M	A great budget option Vs Augsburg on a defensive team
