There is a strong argument for doubling or tripling up on Leipzig players as they take on Schalke in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for the week. Matchday 20 is the same as matchday 3 with home and away sides reversed and we kick off the matchday 30 minutes earlier than usual (20:00 CET) with champions Bayern Munich taking on Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion Berlin on Friday.
Forwards
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | @BSC | 23.7M | One game away from making it 10 consecutive games with goals scored. |
2 | Erling Braut Haaland | BVB | @SCF | 19.4M | A bit unfortunate to not have scored in the last game but it will be tough to hold him back if you are the team with the most shots conceded after Schalke. |
3 | André Silva | SGE | @TSG | 18.7M | Hoffenheim might've improved a bit defensively but Frankfurt is on a roll and no other team has scored more goals over the last five matchdays compared to their 15 with Silva scoring seven of them. |
4 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | @FCA | 18.3M | His efficiency is a bit of a curse because he has goal in his last four out of five games but hasn't been able to score above 11 points. If he could get more bonus and multiple returns then Weghorst could be a must-have. |
5 | Thomas Müller | FCB | @BSC | 21.4M | It might've gone unnoticed but Müller has been giving tough competition to Lewandowski with an average of 13 points in his last four games. |
6 | Alexander Sørloth | RBL | @S04 | 14M | A bit pricy for a forward that is yet to settle in the Bundesliga but the only one who plays Schalke this week. |
7 | Leon Bailey | B04 | Vs VFB | 14M | |
8 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | Vs SGE | 17.1M | Kramarić is hitting purple patch form right now but Frankfurt is a tough challenge. |
9 | Nicolás González | VFB | @B04 | 10.2M | González might be averaging the most number of shots per game this season (4.67) but Leverkusen might be his kryptonite having conceded the least shots per game (9.4) after Leipzig (8.3). |
10 | Taiwo Awoniyi | FCU | @M05 | 7.6M |
Midfielders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | @S04 | 15.2M | Another blow to Schalke's survival hopes because their tormentor-in-chief Nkunku is back and he has six assists in his last three games against them. |
2 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | @BSC | 18.3M | The best Bayern midfielder to have even if he is the only one. |
3 | Jadon Sancho | BVB | @SCF | 20.5M | Sancho under Favre: Zero goals and four assists in nine games. Sancho under Terzić: Three goals and six assists in eight games. Enough said. |
4 | Filip Kostić | SGE | @TSG | 17.2M | |
5 | Dani Olmo | RBL | @S04 | 16.8M | The tormentor-in-chief's henchman. |
6 | Lars Stindl | BMG | Vs KOE | 15.1M | |
7 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | Vs VFB | 8.3M | He would be an easy recommendation with games against Stuttgart, Mainz and Augsburg coming up but Leverkusen's recent form of three losses in a row including the 2-1 defeat against fourth-tier Essen in the DFB Pokal does raise concerns. |
8 | Yannick Gerhardt | WOB | @FCA | 6.9M | Gerhardt has appeal as a budget option against Augsburg. |
9 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | Vs SGE | 11.9M | |
10 | Ritsu Dōan | DSC | Vs SVW | 9.6M | A real workhorse for Arminia in attack but there is even more pressure on him now that the team has slipped into the relegation zone. |
Defenders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Angeliño | RBL | @S04 | 16.7M | It's been a while since we have seen him score but this would be a great game for him to be on the scoresheet having scored his first goal of the season against Schalke. |
2 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | @SCF | 16.4M | |
3 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | @M05 | 10.5M | The return of the assist leader amongst defenders adds the much needed stability for Union in attack as well as defense with consecutive games against the two bottom teams - Mainz and Schalke. |
4 | Paulo Otávio | WOB | @FCA | 8.6M | Wolfsburg are rock solid in defense and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three games. Additionally, Otávio has a great floor due to the amount of duels he wins. |
5 | Ludwig Augustinsson | SVW | @DSC | 9.3M | A suspension risk but a defender on set-pieces against the worst attack in the league is a worthy shout. |
6 | Borna Sosa | VFB | @B04 | 4.6M | Sosa has been on fire lately setting up big chances one after another but Leverkusen is an expert in neutralizing threat. |
7 | Nordi Mukiele | RBL | @S04 | 10.8M | There is no limit on number of players from a team so double-trouble in midfield and defense against Schalke this week is a real possibility. |
8 | Ramy Bensebaini | BMG | Vs KOE | 11.8M | Stands out with an individual fixture against Koln in a week where most of the popular defenders play at the same time. |
9 | Almamy Toure | SGE | @TSG | 7.8M | The Durm replacement is another player who has a penchant for attacking bonus. |
10 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | @BSC | 14.1M | A good chance at a clean sheet in the early fixture but Bayern defenders have been nothing special this season. Especially considering how much team value they eat up. |
Goalkeepers
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | Vs SVW | 6.3M | Arminia have conceded eight goals over the last two games but hoping that they turn it around this time in the final game of the week. |
2 | Gregor Kobel | VFB | @B04 | 5.3M | |
3 | Andreas Luthe | FCU | @M05 | 5.2M | |
4 | Rafał Gikiewicz | FCA | Vs WOB | 7.9M | |
5 | Florian Müller | SCF | Vs BVB | 4.1M | There is potential for saves but it needs to offset the amount of goals they will concede. |
