Bundesliga Fantasy is back for matchday 27 after a short International Break and despite Eintracht Frankfurt playing Borussia Dortmund in a tough game, the eagles top our player rankings and it could be a potential goal fest with the number of absentees for each team.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | Vs KOE | 20.3M | Weghorst is in great form, has one of the best fixtures this on paper that has had at least four goals in each game since 2018. He might be reliant on multiple returns for a good score but it's a good possibility against Köln. |
| 2 | André Silva | SGE | @BVB | 20.2M | This game is all about who is more motivated to get that last Champions League spot over the other but Dortmund are a hot mess right now. |
| 3 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | Vs SVW | 7.3M | Werder Bremen have conceded the most headers in 2021 so it is all about using his head to the best effect for Saša. |
| 4 | Erling Braut Haaland | BVB | Vs SGE | 20.8M | Haaland is one of the most consistent strikers in the world and shouldn't be doubted but no goals in 13 shots over three matches for the Norway National Team is sure to raise some eyebrows. |
| 5 | Leon Bailey | B04 | Vs S04 | 14.6M | Form doesn't matter when you play Schalke. It is a golden opportunity for any forward to add some goals to their name. |
| 6 | Max Kruse | FCU | Vs BSC | 12.1M | |
| 7 | Thomas Müller | FCB | @RBL | 22.6M | An easy recommendation on any other day but the absence of Lewandowski slightly tilts the tie in favor of the best defense of the league over the best attack. |
| 8 | Patrick Schick | B04 | Vs S04 | 15.7M | If form does matter to you then Schick could be an even better pick than Bailey with his threat from headers against the worst set-piece defending team in the league. |
| 9 | Matheus Cunha | BSC | @FCU | 15.6M | |
| 10 | Alassane Pléa | BMG | Vs SCF | 16.9M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Filip Kostić | SGE | @BVB | 19.4M | It doesn't matter if Can starts at right-back or Meunier. With both teams missing key players in midfield and defense, Kostić could run riot in a potential goal fest. |
| 2 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | Vs FCB | 17.3M | The hunter might turn prey in this fixture and Leipzig will fancy their chances in a must-win game against a Bayern team that is far from their best. |
| 3 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | Vs S04 | 8.3M | It is almost impossible to predict who will do better between Wirtz and Demirbay against Schalke because both have been equally bad. |
| 4 | Maximilian Arnold | WOB | Vs KOE | 16.3M | If budget isn't a constraint then Arnold is a great differential with a minimum score of nine in his last six games. |
| 5 | Lars Stindl | BMG | Vs SCF | 16M | Stindl's best performances have come in the absence of Hofmann but ending an eight game losing streak against Schalke has no significance. |
| 6 | Leroy Sané | FCB | @RBL | 19.5M | |
| 7 | Marco Richter | FCA | Vs TSG | 9.8M | |
| 8 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | @BMG | 14.6M | He could be a sneaky pick if you expect Borussia to go back to their old ways before the win against Schalke. Also plays Arminia in the early fixture next and Schalke after that. |
| 9 | Christoph Baumgartner | TSG | @FCA | 13.1M | |
| 10 | Thorgan Hazard | BVB | Vs SGE | 12.6M | Frankfurt will be missing Hasebe, Hinteregger and Toure in defense so the makeshift backline of Tuta-Ilsanker-Ndicka doesn't inspire much confidence. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Borna Sosa | VFB | Vs SVW | 5.8M | Probably won't keep a clean sheet this week but has great attacking upside and that is all that matters. |
| 2 | Kevin Mbabu | WOB | Vs KOE | 11.7M | Only Schalke and Arminia have scored fewer goals away from home than Köln. |
| 3 | Phillip Mwene | M05 | Vs DSC | 2.4M | Mainz are up there with Wolfsburg and Leverkusen in terms of clean sheet potential this week. |
| 4 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | Vs SGE | 16.8M | |
| 5 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | Vs S04 | 8.6M | If Borussia could keep a clean sheet after conceding in eight games straight then there is hope for Leverkusen who have done it just once in their last 18 games. That was against Borussia. |
| 6 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | Vs BSC | 11.2M | Trimmel was at his old best in the previous game registering six key passes but the biggest perk of owning him is that he plays in the last game of the week. |
| 7 | Deyovaisio Zeefuik | BSC | @FCU | 7.5M | Last week's most surprising performer, Zeefuik racked up an impressive 19 points against Leverkusen last week. However, it is yet to be seen if Hertha can replicate such performances away from home. |
| 8 | Nordi Mukiele | RBL | Vs FCB | 11.3M | The clean sheet odds here are in Leipzig's favour. Not that I am expecting them to keep it. |
| 9 | Pavel Kadeřábek | TSG | @FCA | 9.6M | |
| 10 | Christian Günter | SCF | @BMG | 11.8M |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Florian Müller | SCF | @BMG | 4.6M | Müller's monster haul on matchday 26 means that he has the two highest scores in a single game for a keeper this season. 22 points against Stuttgart on MD18 and 18 points against Augsburg on MD26. |
| 2 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | @M05 | 6.9M | If your main emphasis is on gaining points rather than just rotation then Ortega and Müller make the best combo. |
| 3 | Robin Zentner | M05 | Vs DSC | 5M | Mainz have gone from being shut by opponents to shutting them out and are more likely to keep a clean sheet against Arminia than not but they don't generate too many shots so the potential for saves isn't much. |
| 4 | Koen Casteels | WOB | Vs KOE | 10.9M | |
| 5 | Frederik Rønnow | S04 | @B04 | 1M |
