Borussia have struggled recently but have a great opportunity to bounce back against Schalke so their players are ones to watch out for in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for matchday 26.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | Vs VFB | 25.7M | Lewandowski has failed to score just once in the last 15 matchdays. With form like this you could argue that you won't need star flexibility this week with no standout options in the individual fixtures. |
| 2 | Erling Braut Haaland | BVB | @KOE | 20.4M | |
| 3 | Thomas Müller | FCB | Vs VFB | 22.2M | A perfect double up combo with Lewandowski but you will have to compromise your star flexibility this week. |
| 4 | André Silva | SGE | Vs FCU | 19.8M | |
| 5 | Alassane Pléa | BMG | @S04 | 16.7M | Pléa has just three goals this season in 21 Bundesliga games but you can never count a forward out against second division bound Schalke. |
| 6 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | @SVW | 19.8M | Weghorst got 21 points in a 5-0 rout of Schalke but an away game against Bremen has been a low-scoring affair for Wolfsburg recently with the team failing to score more than one goal in each of their last four games away at the Weser Stadium. |
| 7 | Andrej Kramarić | TSG | Vs M05 | 17.8M | There are few forwards to select from the Sunday fixtures but this game could go either way with Mainz's recent form. |
| 8 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | @FCB | 7.3M | Saša could score against Bayern's shaky defense but I expect Bayern to dominate the proceedings. |
| 9 | Yussuf Poulsen | RBL | @DSC | 12.8M | A low ceiling pick with the highest ceiling amongst forwards from the early game. |
| 10 | Patrick Schick | B04 | @BSC | 15.8M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | @DSC | 16.9M | Leipzig have made it a habit to thump newcomers to the Bundesliga and there couldn't be a more better pick from the early game thank Nkunku. |
| 2 | Filip Kostić | SGE | Vs FCU | 19M | |
| 3 | Lars Stindl | BMG | @S04 | 15.6M | Stindl is the most obvious pick from Borussia against Schalke because no other player from the team has looked even remotely good in Fantasy. Also the fact that he is on set-pieces including penalties. |
| 4 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | Vs VFB | 19.2M | |
| 5 | Dani Olmo | RBL | @DSC | 18M | Arminia is another low-block team for Olmo to feast on with his shot-making abilities. |
| 6 | Leroy Sané | FCB | Vs VFB | 19.2M | |
| 7 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | Vs M05 | 13.2M | Hoffenheim's best attacking performances have come at home and Baumgartner has played an important role in almost all of them. |
| 8 | Amine Harit | S04 | Vs BMG | 12M | There is a big difference between Borussia and Schalke but the former has the worst form in the league currently with four losses in a row and it isn't difficult to imagine Schalke scoring in this game. |
| 9 | André Hahn | FCA | @SCF | 5.2M | It is a showdown of the two teams who have conceded the most shots after Schalke so Hahn is expected to rack up plenty of bonus points even if he won't play as a striker. |
| 10 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | @BSC | 8.4M |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marcel Halstenberg | RBL | @DSC | 14M | Easily the best defender for the week as he plays against a dysfunctional attack. |
| 2 | Ramy Bensebaini | BMG | @S04 | 12.1M | There is a huge potential for points against Schalke but he might not even play. |
| 3 | Kevin Mbabu | WOB | @SVW | 11.6M | |
| 4 | Borna Sosa | VFB | @FCB | 5.8M | |
| 5 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | Vs VFB | 14.9M | |
| 6 | Timothy Chandler | SGE | Vs FCU | 5.1M | FBL veterans will remember Chandler as an OOP defender on the wing with an eye for goals. He could be a decent differential with a possible wildcard over the upcoming international break. |
| 7 | Nico Schlotterbeck | FCU | @SGE | 4.5M | With Trimmel in a massive slump of form, his team's center back who is more attacking and consistent with bonus than him might be a better pick. |
| 8 | Pavel Kadeřábek | TSG | Vs M05 | 9.8M | One for you if you expect Hoffenheim to dispose of in-form Mainz. |
| 9 | Phillip Mwene | M05 | @TSG | 2.2M | Mainz have turned a new page and conceded just once in their last three games but Hoffenheim have scored in each of their last 12 Bundesliga games against them. |
| 10 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | @BSC | 8.8M | Since matchday 15, only Hertha have scored fewer goals (5) than Schalke (6). |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | Vs RBL | 6.7M | It could be a big game for Ortega as the keeper with the most saves plays against the team with the most shots after Bayern. |
| 2 | Frederik Rønnow | S04 | Vs BMG | 1M | 0.1% chance of a cleansheet but Borussia bombarding his goal with shots is a guarantee. |
| 3 | Florian Müller | SCF | Vs FCA | 4.6M | He could have a more than decent score with a fair chance at a clean sheet against trigger happy Augsburg. |
| 4 | Robin Zentner | M05 | @TSG | 4.9M | |
| 5 | Koen Casteels | WOB | @SVW | 10.9M |
