Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 18

The Hinrunde has come to an end in the Bundesliga and as we gear up to take on the final half of the season in Bundesliga Fantasy, we look at the best players for the week that you could get on unlimited transfers. And as is obvious, Bayern Munich and Leipzig will be the teams to target as they play Schalke and Mainz. All the best to the fantasy managers for the Rückrunde!

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	Vs S04	22.9M	Schalke have improved a bit since their 8-0 thrashing in the reverse fixture but a rout is still on the cards. I will be disappointed if Lewandowski doesn't get at least 15 points in this game with the form he is in.
2	Andre Silva	SGE	@DSC	17.9M	Arminia has had some strong defensive displays lately but Silva and Frankfurt are coming in hot after going unbeaten for six games.
3	Andrej Kramarić	TSG	Vs KOE	16.4M	A bit streaky but has great potential in this matchup after scoring a hattrick in the reverse fixture.
4	Nicolás González	VFB	@SCF	9.8M	Slowly turning into a fantasy favorite, he is well rested and should be motivated against Freiburg. The team that has conceded the most shots in the league after Schalke, Arminia and Augsburg. So he will have plenty of opportunities to score and gain bonus points.
5	Emil Forsberg	RBL	@M05	11.4M	A bit more goal dependent for points compared to the others on this list, he was the hero in the reverse fixture with a goal and an assist. Finishing on 20 points. One to consider if you expect Leipzig to score a lot of goals.
6	Erling Braut Haaland	BVB	@BMG	19M	One of the best strikers in the world is due a goal sooner rather than later but Dortmund simply aren't creating enough chances for him.
7	Thomas Müller	FCB	Vs S04	20.5M	It is a three way competition between Müller, Gnabry and Coman if you want to double up on Bayern forwards but the former gets the nod based on form.
8	Ermedin Demirović	SCF	Vs VFB	7.4M
9	Matheus Cunha	BSC	Vs SVW	14.6M	Hertha haven't scored in their last three Bundesliga games but Cunha has to be the one to turn it around with all the chances that he gets.
10	Leon Bailey	B04	Vs WOB	13.8M

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Joshua Kimmich	FCB	Vs S04	17.5M	It is either him or Sane but only Kimmich is predicted to start and it is too hard to pass up on a Bayern midfielder against Schalke.
2	Christopher Nkunku	RBL	@M05	14.8M	Nkunku isn't predicted to start by Kicker but is a good bet for double digit points if he starts.
3	Filip Kostić	SGE	@DSC	16.4M	If Silva is to be benched for Jovic as per Kicker, I would like Kostić even more because of his chemistry with the fellow Serbia international.
4	Jadon Sancho	BVB	@BMG	19.7M	The arrival of Terzic has had a negative impact on most Dortmund players but Sancho is an exception. He is one of the more in-form players in fantasy currently and has scores above nine points in each of his six games under the caretaker manager at an average of 13.6 points per game.
5	Dani Olmo	RBL	@M05	16.5M	The more nailed on pick from the Leipzig midfield and in better fantasy form averaging 12.5 points over the last four games.
6	Lars Stindl	BMG	Vs BVB	15.2M	It is a toss up for who will do better between Stindl and Hofmann when they play together. One for the early kickoff along with Sancho.
7	Christoph Baumgartner	TSG	Vs KOE	11.5M
8	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	Vs VFB	14M	A bit out of form and there are much better options in the same price range this week making him a differential.
9	Florian Wirtz	B04	Vs WOB	8.3M
10	Ritsu Dōan	DSC	Vs SGE	9.4M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Angeliño	RBL	@M05	16.4M	This would be a good game for him to get on the score sheet again.
2	Raphaël Guerreiro	BVB	@BMG	16.2M	Dortmund is essentially M'gladbach's boogie team having won each of the last 12 games against them other across all competitions and Guerreiro could slip in some bonus points and attacking returns if Dortmund are to win.
3	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	@FCA	10.7M	He is one yellow card away from suspension but still remains the best option from Union because of his attacking upside.
4	Erik Durm	SGE	@DSC	3.5M	Arminia were helped on by some hapless defending last week and still remain the worst attack in the league.
5	Alphonso Davies	FCB	Vs S04	14.1M	It is a roulette for who will start between Davies and Hernandez but the right decision could be a rewarding one against Schalke.
6	Nordi Mukiele	RBL	@M05	10.5M	The Leipzig wingbacks are as tempting as the attackers but Mukiele is prone to heavy rotation due to the insane depth for RBL on the right.
7	Christian Günter	SCF	Vs VFB	11.9M	Günter's set-pieces might make him a winning pick when one of the best set-piece attacking teams takes on one of the worst set-piece defending ones.
8	Borna Sosa	VFB	@SCF	4.7M	A disappointing outing last time out but the return of Wamangituka and Gonzalez should improve the team and Sosa's returns.
9	Felix Agu	SVW	@BSC	4.3M	Agu has full attacking freedom despite being a rookie and plays Hertha who haven't scored in the last three games.
10	Maximilian Mittelstädt	BSC	Vs SVW	8.3M	This game could go either way but a 0-0 seems like a more likely result than not.

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Stefan Ortega	DSC	Vs SGE	6.5M	An outside chance for a cleansheet but plays one of the more attacking teams in the league. So he will have saves atleast.
2	Florian Müller	SCF	Vs VFB	3.8M
3	Gregor Kobel	VFB	@SCF	5.2M
4	Rafał Gikiewicz	FCA	Vs FCU	7.7M	A worthy option for the long term but his price could get you two keepers instead of one on unlimited transfers.
5	Andreas Luthe	FCU	@FCA	5.3M	The best chance for a clean sheet this week amongst keepers on this list.
