Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 17

Our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings are here for the first “Englische Woche” of the year and we look at key players from teams such as Wolfsburg and Stuttgart that stand out due to their relatively easier fixtures against Mainz and Arminia Bielefeld respectively.

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	@FCA	22.9M	Now make that six consecutive games with goals scored for Lewandowski. No force in Augsburg capable of stopping him from making it seven.
2	Erling Braut Haaland	BVB	@B04	19M	A rare blank for the golden boy but he only had one shot in the entire game against Mainz since Reus and the others gobbled up most of it.
3	Wout Weghorst	WOB	@M05	17.6M	There are few good forwards in the game currently and even fewer with a good matchup this week. Weghorst is one of them.
4	Andre Silva	SGE	@SCF	17.6M	The arrival of Jovic and in brilliant fashion with a brace is sure to disturb the power dynamic up top for Frankfurt. But as long as he remains an option off the bench, it shouldn't concern Silva owners much.
5	Thomas Müller	FCB	@FCA	20.5M
6	Ermedin Demirović	SCF	Vs SGE	7.3M
7	Saša Kalajdžić	VFB	@DSC	4.9M	Stuttgart seem like they can only win away from home with the joint best away record and Kalajdžić gets a chance to prove himself again in the absence of top-scorers Wamangituka and González against the most resilient defense outside the top 10.
8	Alassane Pléa	BMG	Vs SVW	15.8M	He has struggled in the Bundesliga this season with just two goals but the slump won't last forever and he is the only forward in this list who has an individual fixture this week.
9	Leon Bailey	B04	Vs BVB	13.5M
10	Andrej Kramarić	TSG	@BSC	16M

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Jonas Hofmann	BMG	Vs SVW	13.2M
2	Filip Kostić	SGE	@SCF	16.3M	A more safer pick compared to Grifo and his linkup play with fellow Serbian international Luka Jovic is very encouraging.
3	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	Vs SGE	13.9M
4	Lars Stindl	BMG	Vs SVW	15.2M	A possible double up on two of the best midfielders in the game is certainly a tempting play with two early kickoffs in a row against Bremen and Dortmund.
5	Leroy Sané	FCB	@FCA	17.9M	Kimmich for the floor. Sané for the ceiling.
6	Christopher Nkunku	RBL	Vs FCU	14.6M	Leipzig have failed to score over two goals in a game without Nkunku starting in the XI and his return is set to give the team a huge offensive boost. He was already in top gear in the game against Wolfsburg registering four key passes and finishing on seven points in just 45 minutes.
7	Ritsu Dōan	DSC	Vs VFB	9.1M	It must be exciting owning someone who can easily get double digit points just by bonus but he is one of the more frustrating players to watch since he rarely finishes any of the multiple chances he gets.
8	Jadon Sancho	BVB	@B04	19.5M
9	Gonzalo Castro	VFB	@DSC	5.5M	Stuttgart love dominating possession with their strong attacking football whereas Arminia are mostly happy to just sit back. This could invite a lot of pressure from Castro & Co.
10	Nadiem Amiri	B04	Vs BVB	13.6M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Angeliño	RBL	Vs FCU	16.2M
2	Borna Sosa	VFB	@DSC	4.7M	A steady bonus point generator, he is a constant threat with his pin-point crosses and plays the worst attack in the league - Arminia Bielefeld.
3	Raphaël Guerreiro	BVB	@B04	16.1M
4	Erik Durm	SGE	@SCF	3.6M	These are two in-form teams going up against each other and it could turn into a spam fest with lots of potential bonus for Durm.
5	Maximilian Mittelstädt	BSC	Vs TSG	8.3M
6	Maxence Lacroix	WOB	@M05	4.7M	Not much to offer other than a clean sheet and some bonus on budget.
7	Alphonso Davies	FCB	@FCA	14.2M	The Bayern defense has been bad but it is tough to imagine Augsburg scoring.
8	Stefan Lainer	BMG	Vs SVW	10.3M
9	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	@RBL	10.8M	The defender with the most assists this season (6), he will always have attacking upside even against the best defense in the league which has conceded five goals over their last two games.
10	Christian Günter	SCF	Vs SGE	12M

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Stefan Ortega	DSC	Vs VFB	6.3M	Only Bayern, Dortmund and Leipzig have taken more shots than Stuttgart and that could only mean one thing for Ortega. Plenty of saves.
2	Gregor Kobel	VFB	@DSC	5.5M
3	Florian Müller	SCF	Vs SGE	3.9M	The best keeper within 4M currently with an average of 7.8 points in his last five games but Flekken's return is right around the corner.
4	Robin Zentner	M05	Vs WOB	4.9M
5	Andreas Luthe	FCU	@RBL	5.2M
