Forwards
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Erling Braut Haaland | BVB | @S04 | 19.8M | Haaland put on a massive performance away against Sevilla with two goals and an assist this week in the Champions League and there are levels between the Europa League champions and Schalke - who Dortmund play in an individual fixture this week. |
2 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | @SGE | 24.1M | I see people transferring out Lewandowski again but the man with the most goals in all of the world's first leagues this season isn't one to drop. There is no one in the league as consistent as the most popular player in the game with 71% ownership and the move is just a red arrow waiting to happen. |
3 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | @DSC | 18.8M | Don't let Ortega's good performance against Bayern distract you from the fact that Arminia have conceded 11 goals in their last three games. |
4 | André Silva | SGE | Vs FCB | 19.4M | Silva could easily score against Bayern with the form he is in but he is a doubt as per Hütter and going for Haaland over him this week will be a popular transfer and it makes total sense. You might want him back, however, as he plays Bremen on Friday next week. |
5 | Leon Bailey | B04 | @FCA | 14.6M | |
6 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | @KOE | 5.7M | He has now scored in three consecutive games + plays Koln and Schalke next. The best bargain pick in the game keeps getting better. |
7 | Alassane Pléa | BMG | Vs M05 | 16.5M | The game against Mainz has been a high scoring one for Borussia recently with the team scoring three goals in each of their last three games against them. Pléa himself has three goals and an assist in his last two games against Mainz. |
8 | Marco Reus | BVB | @S04 | 18M | |
9 | Matheus Cunha | BSC | Vs RBL | 15M | Potential revenge game for Cunha but Leipzig should bounce back after their defensive lapses cost them the game against Liverpool in the UCL. |
10 | Ermedin Demirović | SCF | Vs FCU | 7.6M |
Midfielders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Jadon Sancho | BVB | @S04 | 20.8M | The Revierderby is ceiling play for every Dortmund player and Sancho is in red hot form. |
2 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | @BSC | 16M | |
3 | Filip Kostić | SGE | Vs FCB | 17.9M | Kostić has assisted three of Silva's last six goals but if he does miss out, he has a comparable partnership with his replacement Luka Jović. |
4 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | @SGE | 18.4M | He was benched in the six goal thriller against Arminia but Bayern cannot keep his contributions on both ends of the pitch out for too long if they want to win. |
5 | Yannick Gerhardt | WOB | @DSC | 7.3M | Got an early kickoff against a struggling defense and is averaging 9.5 points in his last four games. |
6 | Nadiem Amiri | B04 | @FCA | 13.6M | |
7 | Dani Olmo | RBL | @BSC | 17.4M | Hertha have shown some improvement in defense under the new coach but Leipzig at home is a real litmus test. |
8 | Jonas Hofmann | BMG | Vs M05 | 13.4M | A tempting play against Mainz but might see limited minutes due to the upcoming UCL game against Manchester City. |
9 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | Vs FCU | 14.2M | |
10 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | Vs SVW | 12.1M | A potential differential that has license to shoot and tends to pop off against lower teams. Also plays in the last game of the week. |
Defenders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | @S04 | 16.5M | In his last game against Schalke, Guerreiro scored two goals and finished on 20 points. Schalke haven't improved at all since then and I am hoping that he has his shooting boots ready again. |
2 | Angeliño | RBL | @BSC | 17.1M | |
3 | Paulo Otávio | WOB | @DSC | 9.1M | Arminia looked much more fluid in attack with Vlap and Voglsammer but Wolfsburg have kept a clean sheet in each of their last six Bundesliga games. |
4 | Borna Sosa | VFB | @KOE | 4.8M | Sosa is now the main playmaker for Stuttgart in the absence of Castro. The João Cancelo of Bundesliga Fantasy. |
5 | Niklas Süle | FCB | @SGE | 11.7M | Due to the lack of specialist right-backs, Süle will fill in on the right and he isn't afraid to bomb forward in attack and get himself involved. |
6 | Christian Günter | SCF | Vs FCU | 11.9M | |
7 | Ludwig Augustinsson | SVW | @TSG | 9.5M | Werder Bremen have only conceded five goals in eight games across all competitions this year. |
8 | Pavel Kadeřábek | TSG | Vs SVW | 9.5M | Hoffenheim aren't realiable when it comes to clean sheets but Kadeřábek is one of those few ceiling players left that could boost ranks and have gone under the radar and he has an individual fixture in each of the next four matchdays. |
9 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | @SCF | 10.6M | |
10 | Tim Fosu-Mensah | B04 | @FCA | 8.6M | Leverkusen have struggled defensively but opponents Augsburg are out of ideas in attack and have only generated a paltry average of six shots per game in their last three games while scoring two goals. |
Goalkeepers
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Florian Müller | SCF | Vs FCU | 4.4M | His form is too good to ignore and he is averaging 10 points over his last four games. Meanwhile, Union had a torrid time trying to score against Schalke despite having good chances. So Freiburg will fancy their clean sheet odds over here unless a certain Max Kruse makes a surprise appearance. |
2 | Koen Casteels | WOB | @DSC | 10.5M | Casteels carries a hefty price tag for a keeper but has scored above five points in each of his last 10 games. |
3 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | Vs WOB | 6.5M | |
4 | Rune Jarstein | BSC | Vs RBL | 2.4M | He might be the cheapest keeper on the list but Lomb is another honorable mention at just 1M as he might replace the doubtful Hrádecký. |
5 | Oliver Baumann | TSG | Vs SVW | 9.5M | If Rashica starts then he increases the potential of any keeper to accumulate points for shots saved. |
