Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 14

A resilient Bayern Munich side on the back of wins against two unbeaten teams in a row is our favourite fantasy play for the week as they take on Mainz at home which could result in goals and points aplenty. These are our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 14:

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	Vs M05	21.8M	A home game against the second worst defense in the league in Mainz has the potential to be a game like Bayern 8-0 Schalke. At the very least you could expect some goals.
2	Erling Braut Haaland	BVB	Vs WOB	18.6M
3	Matheus Cunha	BSC	Vs S04	14.4M	Struggling with form? Conflict with the manager? I think I can overlook that for a week since he plays Schalke.
4	Kingsley Coman	FCB	Vs M05	14.7M	Double-trouble against troubled Mainz? Could work if you expect this to be high scoring (Bayern have scored six goals in each of their last two home games against Mainz). Coman is a doubt for the game however.
5	Leon Bailey	B04	@SGE	13.1M
6	Andre Silva	SGE	Vs B04	16.5M	The departure of Bas Dost to Belgium means that Silva is the undisputed striker for Frankfurt now and rightly so for his nine goals and two assists which puts him just behind Lewandowski and Haaland in the goal scoring charts.
7	Andrej Kramarić	TSG	Vs SCF	15.6M
8	Wout Weghorst	WOB	@BVB	17.1M	Borussia Dortmund seem to have forgotten how to defend set-pieces and teams have exploited that vulnerability very well recently. The towering Weghorst is definitely going to send them into a frenzy every time he gets ready to head the ball.
9	Yussuf Poulsen	RBL	@VFB	12M	Stuttgart are tied for the second most set-piece goals conceded along with Dormtund (six) after Schalke (9) so here is another target man worth considering.
10	Alassane Pléa	BMG	@DSC	15.9M

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Lars Stindl	BMG	@DSC	14M	Yet to be seen how the returning Hofmann affects his production but I will still prefer Stindl due to the fact that Hofmann was almost playing as a defensive midfielder-center back hybrid before getting injured.
2	Joshua Kimmich	FCB	Vs M05	16.6M	He is a breath of fresh air in a team that was losing some steam and he will look to add to his tally of one goal and five assists in seven games this season against Mainz.
3	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	@TSG	13.7M
4	Nadiem Amiri	B04	@SGE	13.3M	No, nothing is wrong with having Wirtz but Amiri's recent performances and set-piece responsibilities give him the edge for me.
5	Daniel Caligiuri	FCA	@KOE	10.9M	Koln have conceded the most goals at home in the Bundesliga (yes, Schalke finally beat someone) and Caligiuri could be an interesting differential.
6	Giovanni Reyna	BVB	Vs WOB	8.7M
7	Christoph Baumgartner	TSG	Vs SCF	11.3M	One to watch out for since he plays the team that has conceded the third most shots and most shots one after the other (Freiburg and Schalke).
8	Ritsu Dōan	DSC	Vs BMG	8.4M
9	Dani Olmo	RBL	@VFB	15.4M
10	Aymen Barkok	SGE	Vs B04	3.9M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Angeliño	RBL	@VFB	15.8M
2	Raphaël Guerreiro	BVB	Vs WOB	15.7M	Guerreiro's assist against Union in the last matchday maintains his 100% record of being involved in a goal as a left-back in every game in the Bundesliga this season (one goal and five assists in four games).
3	Alphonso Davies	FCB	Vs M05	14.4M	Mainz have failed to score in their last three games and scoring against Bayern seems like a herculean task even though FCB has been going through defensive woes as of late.
4	Maximilian Mittelstädt	BSC	Vs S04	8M	Hertha is far away from being even half-decent defensively but a game against the worst attack + worst set-piece defending team might be a good time to own Mittelstädt if you like the prospect of a potential clean sheet and attacking bonus/returns.
5	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	@SVW	10.6M	I'd rather have Trimmel over Freidrich on any given day but you must keep in mind that Trimmel is one yellow card away from suspension.
6	Christian Günter	SCF	@TSG	12M
7	Ludwig Augustinsson	SVW	Vs FCU	9.7M
8	Kevin Mbabu	WOB	@BVB	10.5M
9	Stefan Lainer	BMG	@DSC	10.2M	Not too keen on a Borussia defender but they are a decent shout for a clean sheet this week.
10	Borna Sosa	VFB	Vs RBL	4.3M

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Frederik Rønnow	S04	@BSC	1.7M	Ronnow coming back is a great way to start the new year. No keeper worries anymore.
2	Stefan Ortega	DSC	Vs BMG	5.6M
3	Rafał Gikiewicz	FCA	@KOE	7.5M
4	Andreas Luthe	FCU	@SVW	4.8M
5	Gregor Kobel	VFB	Vs RBL	5.2M	There is always the possibility that Leipzig will run through their opponents by scoring multiple goals but the sleeping giant is dormant right now and save points are on the menu.
