Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 11

The arrival of matchday 11 in Bundesliga Fantasy signals the start of the “Englische Woche” – a run of matchdays where a team plays thrice in a week from weekend to midweek to the weekend again. The relief from UCL and Europa games is short-lived as another hectic schedule awaits us. These are our Bundesliga fantasy player rankings for the week:

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	@FCU	20.7M	It was surprising that Lewandowski wasn't involved in a single goal when Bayern scored three and some might be having their doubts on whether he is essential or not. I would say you can avoid him but at your own risk. I don't think it is worth it.
2	Wout Weghorst	Wolfsburg	Vs SGE	16.4M	Wolfsburg was one of the teams with the least goals scored initially but that has turned around in the last three games in which they have scored nine goals in total, corresponding to Weghorst's purple patch who has scored four goals and assisted one in those games. Additional bonus is that he plays in the first game of the week against a Frankfurt team that hasn't kept a cleansheet in their last 23 Bundesliga games.
3	Yussuf Poulsen	RBL	Vs SVW	11.4M
4	Kingsley Coman	FCB	@FCU	14.1M	A bit unexpected but Coman has been the most in-form player for Bayern as of late and it is evident in his recent performances where he has scored two goals and assisted four in his last three games. Including the hattrick of assists against Leipzig last week.
5	Alassane Pléa	BMG	Vs BSC	16M
6	Leon Bailey	B04	Vs TSG	12.9M	Leverkusen have been on a demolition derby as of late by scoring atleast three goals in nine out of their last 12 games across all competitions and Hoffenheim should be a more challenging game but it is tough to imagine that they will be spared.
7	Andrej Kramarić	TSG	@B04	15.6M	It has almost become frustrating to own Kramaric after the introduction of Bebou up top. He plays like a secondary attacker now with Bebou taking a big pie out of his potential points.
8	Andre Silva	SGE	@WOB	16.1M
9	Marco Reus	BVB	Vs VFB	16.8M
10	Jean-Phillipe Mateta	M05	Vs KOE	11.6M	Mainz and Mateta's form has been a bit topsy-turvy so it is tough to set expectations. Especially against Koln who haven't conceded more than one goal away.

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	Vs DSC	12.9M	No other midfielder has scored more points over the last two weeks than Grifo with 16 points and a goal in each game. You can expect him to take on a lot of shots as well as create many in a game where Freiburg will be desperate to end their nine game winless streak.
2	Daniel Caligiuri	FCA	Vs S04	10.5M	Caligiuri has been a vital cog of the Augsburg attack being their top goal scorer this season and he will be a threat from set-pieces against the worst defending team from dead ball situations. Simply the best option against Schalke this week.
3	Lars Stindl	BMG	Vs BSC	13.3M
4	Jadon Sancho	BVB	Vs VFB	17.9M
5	Florian Wirtz	B04	Vs TSG	7.4M
6	Giovanni Reyna	BVB	Vs VFB	8.3M	Packs the same punch as Sancho at half the price.
7	Daichi Kamada	SGE	@WOB	13M	It is tough to select between him and Kostic but Kamada has simply been better this season and has the third highest key passes after Muller and Nkunku.
8	Dani Olmo	RBL	Vs SVW	14.9M	I would prefer Nkunku but since he doesn't feature in any predicted lineups, Olmo will be my second choice.
9	Josip Brekalo	WOB	Vs SGE	10.6M
10	Ritsu Doan	DSC	@SCF	7.9M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Christian Günter	SCF	Vs DSC	11.7M	Dangerous set-piece and crossing ability always makes him a good option against lower teams.
2	Marcel Halstenberg	RBL	Vs SVW	12.8M	If Angelino is rested then this penalty taking defender becomes the best asset from the Leipzig defense.
3	Lucas Hernandez	FCB	@FCU	11.9M	Union might be the team with the most goals scored after Bayern but the absence of Max Kruse takes away all the venom from them.
4	Mats Hummels	BVB	Vs VFB	14.2M	This is assuming Guerreiro doesn't start.
5	Iago	FCA	Vs S04	5.1M	There is a real chance that no-clean-sheet-in-seven-games-Augsburg gets scored on by the lowest scoring team in the league in Schalke but Iago is still worth a shout.
6	Ismail Jakobs	KOE	@M05	6.8M
7	Oscar Wendt	BMG	Vs BSC	6.4M	The suspension of Cunha should boost Borussia's clean sheet possibility a bit. Not that I am expecting one.
8	Borna Sosa	VFB	@BVB	4.1M
9	Lars Bender	B04	Vs TSG	10.1M
10	Maxence Lacroix	WOB	Vs SGE	4.8M

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Rafał Gikiewicz	FCA	Vs S04	7.4M	There might not be many shots to save for Gikiwicz but a good cleansheet chance should do.
2	Stefan Ortega	DSC	@SCF	5.3M	Yes, I rated him over Müller who has better cleansheet odds since he is in better form and gets a lot of save points.
3	Robin Zentner	M05	@DSC	4.5M
4	Florian Müller	SCF	Vs DSC	2.1M
5	Gregor Kobel	VFB	@BVB	5.1M
