The Sosa-Sasa duo from Stuttgart is one to watch in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 23 due to their recent performances and the fact that they play Schalke this week.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Erling Braut Haaland | BVB | Vs DSC | 20.2M | Arminia has turned into a punching bag in the last four weeks conceding 14 goals - the most within that period. |
| 2 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | Vs KOE | 24.4M | |
| 3 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | Vs S04 | 6.4M | Saša has scored in each of his last three games and I can imagine him extending it to four games in a row against Schalke. |
| 4 | André Silva | SGE | @SVW | 19.6M | It is easy to overlook Silva's goal-scoring run because of Lewandowski but he currently has the same amount of goals as Messi and Ronaldo this season with 18. He also adds much needed star flexibility this week with an early fixture against Bremen. |
| 5 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | Vs BSC | 19M | His good run of form means that he returns every game but the problem remains the same that he often fails to score in double digits because of his lack of bonus. |
| 6 | Lucas Alario | B04 | Vs SCF | 11.4M | Alario has been in and out of the starting XI but has nine goals in the same number of starts and the Leverkusen attack is much more dangerous with him leading the line rather than Schick. |
| 7 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | @FCU | 17.2M | |
| 8 | Kingsley Coman | FCB | Vs KOE | 15.8M | |
| 9 | Ermedin Demirović | SCF | @B04 | 7.6M | Leverkusen have drawn against Mainz and Augsburg but the main reason for that can be attributed to their defending. They haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 10 Bundesliga games and the defense doesn't seem to be in safe hands with their backup keepers. |
| 10 | Matheus Cunha | BSC | @WOB | 15.4M | Yes, Wolfsburg haven't conceded in their last six games and Cunha hasn't scored in his last 13 games but he is still averaging 7.75 points in his last eight games which is comparable to Weghorst with single returns. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Filip Kostić | SGE | @SVW | 18.1M | 10 points with an assist is disappointing by his high standards but an early game against Bremen that just conceded four goals against out-of-form Hoffenheim could see him improve. |
| 2 | Jadon Sancho | BVB | Vs DSC | 21.2M | If goals are to be expected against Arminia's leaky defense then Sancho could be a fantasy jackpot. He has scored or assisted Dortmund's last 10 goals out of 17 (59%) in the last eight games. |
| 3 | Leroy Sané | FCB | Vs KOE | 18.8M | More likely to score compared to Kimmich when he starts and has looked sharp in the last few games. |
| 4 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | Vs BMG | 16.1M | |
| 5 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | Vs KOE | 18.6M | More likely to assist compared to Sané and has a better floor. |
| 6 | Amin Younes | SGE | @SVW | 7.6M | He shoots a lot, scores screamers and is giving premium options a run for their money with an average of 11 points in his last six games. A Frankfurt midfield double up with Kostić + Younes seems like a smart strategy now. |
| 7 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | @FCU | 12.5M | A late inclusion to the list after his return to the predicted lineups, Baumgartner is getting back to his old levels with double digit scores in four out of his last six games and he loves playing against Union with a goal in each of his two starts against them. |
| 8 | Dani Olmo | RBL | Vs BMG | 17.6M | |
| 9 | Yannick Gerhardt | WOB | Vs BSC | 7.5M | |
| 10 | Nadiem Amiri | B04 | Vs SCF | 13.5M | Leverkusen's early season form has faded away and they have won just once in their last eight games across all competitions (W1, D2, L5) but Amiri still remains the best option from midfielders playing on Sunday (other than Baumgartner). |
| 11 | Lars Stindl | BMG | @RBL | 15.7M | The injury to Hofmann solves the selection dilemma between both and Stindl has had his best games without him in the team. Not expecting any heroics against Leipzig however. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Borna Sosa | VFB | Vs S04 | 5.1M | Sosa and Sasa have a formidable partnership with the target man scoring with each of the Argentinian's last three assists. They have a more than good chance to repeat the same against Schalke who have scored just once in their last five games while conceding 12 goals. |
| 2 | Angeliño | RBL | Vs BMG | 17.2M | |
| 3 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | Vs DSC | 16.8M | Just 12 points for a goal + clean sheet against Schalke does raise questions about whether Guerreiro is worth the premium. |
| 4 | Paulo Otávio | WOB | Vs BSC | 9.3M | Six clean sheets in a row with an unchanged XI but the team's balance might be disturbed due to the suspension of Brooks. |
| 5 | Niklas Süle | FCB | Vs KOE | 11.9M | |
| 6 | Erik Durm | SGE | @SVW | 3.5M | |
| 7 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | Vs TSG | 10.7M | Trimmel is mostly prefered because of his attacking threat but he hasn't assisted in his last eight games. So Nico Schlotterbeck is worth a shout as he is half the price and takes more shots = better floor. |
| 8 | Phillip Mwene | M05 | Vs FCA | 1.5M | Augsburg is another team that has struggled to score goals and Mwene could be a decent enabler as Mainz are doing a full 180 under Bo Svensson. Moussa Niakhaté is also worth a shout as he is on penalties. Bonus: Mainz play Schalke on Friday next week (If you chose to get a player from one of the most avoidable fixtures this season). |
| 9 | Pavel Kadeřábek | TSG | @FCU | 9.6M | |
| 10 | Mads Pedersen | FCA | @M05 | 1.4M | Another enabler that offers flexibility this week but with a better floor so you could interchange him and Mwene's rank based on which team you think wins. |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gregor Kobel | VFB | Vs S04 | 5.1M | A home game against Schalke is a good bet for a clean sheet. |
| 2 | Florian Müller | SCF | @B04 | 4.3M | Last week was a bad one for keepers and Müller was no exception with a rare blank but could bounce back against a struggling Leverkusen. |
| 3 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | @BVB | 6.3M | |
| 4 | Koen Casteels | WOB | Vs BSC | 10.7M | |
| 5 | Rafał Gikiewicz | FCA | @M05 | 7.9M |
