Freiburg and Schalke might’ve switched roles last week with the former losing against Arminia Bielefeld and the latter winning against Augsburg but the bottom-placed club is still the team to target when these two sides face each other in our Bundesliga Fantasy player rankings for the final Englische Woche of the season.
Forwards
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | André Silva | SGE | @BMG | 21M | Despite having a tough schedule over the last few games playing four of the top six teams, Silva was able to score or assist in each game and Frankfurt have been absolutely ruthless in their last two home games scoring five goals against Union and four against Wolfsburg, the fourth best and second best defenses in the league respectively. In the absence of fans due to covid, this game shouldn't feel like an away one. |
2 | Erling Haaland | BVB | Vs SVW | 21.2M | He hasn't scored in his past seven games so to say that he is due a goal is an understatement. |
3 | Thomas Müller | FCB | @WOB | 23.2M | Wolfsburg haven't won against Bayern in 11 games and it is easier to picture the Bavarians dominating again with Max Arnold missing out for the Wolves. |
4 | Max Kruse | FCU | Vs VFB | 12.1M | |
5 | Alexander Sørloth | RBL | Vs TSG | 15M | |
6 | Ermedin Demirović | SCF | Vs S04 | 7.8M | Schalke is the team to target even after their surprising but unconvincing victory against Augsburg who only had one win in the last 10 games against their boogie team. However, Demirović is prone to rotation and might play limited minutes due to the midweek game. |
7 | Marcus Thuram | BMG | Vs SGE | 15.6M | |
8 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | @FCU | 7.8M | His purple patch has probably ended and with consecutive games against Union, Wolfsburg and Leipzig, I won't bet on him to score even though he is certainly capable of it. |
9 | Wout Weghorst | WOB | Vs FCB | 21.1M | Weghorst has only scored once against FCB in his five games against them and might be deprived of service with Arnold out and Gerhardt filling in as a defensive midfielder. |
10 | Matheus Cunha | BSC | @M05 | 16M | That's a decent nine points (14 with star) *if* the game is postponed. Hoping that the affected players get well soon. |
Midfielders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Christopher Nkunku | RBL | Vs TSG | 17.6M | This game either ends 1-0 or 4-0. It is hard to predict. |
2 | Filip Kostić | SGE | @BMG | 20M | The last three games between these teams have all been a high-scoring affair with a minimum of four goals in each game and considering the contrasting form of both teams, we could see something similar along the lines again. |
3 | Dani Olmo | RBL | Vs TSG | 18.7M | Two early games against Hoffenheim and Koln next make Nkunku+Olmo worth doubling up. |
4 | Rolland Sallai | SCF | Vs S04 | 8.9M | Boom or bust differential for this week only as the game next week against Hertha might be postponed. |
5 | Leroy Sané | FCB | @WOB | 19.6M | |
6 | Giovanni Reyna | BVB | Vs SVW | 9.3M | Gives you half the thrills of owning Sancho on a budget with an individual fixture this week. |
7 | Ritsu Doan | DSC | @FCA | 10.2M | Augsburg this week + Schalke next week |
8 | Jonas Hofmann | BMG | Vs SGE | 13.7M | Borussia have made it a habit to turn up against big teams and give up points against the smaller one and its the same case with Hofmann. |
9 | Amine Harit | S04 | @SCF | 12.2M | Schalke only play "bad" teams except Frankfurt until the end of the season but the only caveat is that Schalke is the bad team here. |
10 | André Hahn | FCA | Vs DSC | 5.5M |
Defenders
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | Vs SVW | 17.2M | Bremen currently have the worst form in the league with four losses in a row and even if you don't have Haaland or Reyna then Guerreiro offers some cover with his involvement in attack. |
2 | Borna Sosa | VFB | @FCU | 6.3M | The fixtures will keep getting tougher for Stuttgart but Sosa is still untouchable. |
3 | Nordi Mukiele | RBL | Vs TSG | 11.2M | Hoffenheim had just two (!) shots in the entire game against Bayer Leverkusen last week. Replace Mukiele with Angeliño if he starts. |
4 | Christian Günter | SCF | Vs S04 | 11.9M | Potential ceiling game for Günter if Freiburg don't flop like they did against Arminia. |
5 | Lucas Hernandez | FCB | @WOB | 12.4M | |
6 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | Vs VFB | 11.3M | |
7 | Erik Durm | SGE | @BMG | 3.4M | Other than his fluky goal last week (first BL goal in five years), Durm isn't a bad option to have especially with key players returning in defense for Frankfurt. |
8 | Kevin Mbabu | WOB | Vs FCB | 12M | Lewandowski has scored in each game against Wolfsburg since 2015 but even though he won't be there to torment them the Wolves have struggled defensively after their seven consecutive clean sheets run ended where they mostly played struggling teams. |
9 | Jeremie Frimpong | B04 | Vs KOE | 8.6M | Hoffenheim's failure to register even one shot on target last week can be attributed to their incompetency or Leverkusen's strong defensive display but whatever the case, Köln isn't the worst game to keep a clean sheet. |
10 | Ramy Bensebaini | BMG | Vs SGE | 12.2M | In the highly unlikely event that Borussia keep a clean sheet against Frankfurt. |
Goalkeepers
Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Florian Müller | SCF | Vs S04 | 5M | It is hard to decide between Müller and Ortega again with the former having a better chance at a clean sheet but less likely to make more saves. |
2 | Stefan Ortega | DSC | @FCA | 7.2M | A strong argument can be made for either keeper to start over the other with Ortega having more potential for points for saves. Fact: Ortega had zero points in the reverse fixture and Müller had nine. |
3 | Marwin Hitz | BVB | Vs SVW | 1.5M | Hitz is an enabler with an individual fixture this week. |
4 | Gregor Kobel | VFB | @FCU | 6M | |
5 | Ralf Fährmann | S04 | @SCF | 6.5M |
