Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 3

Matchday 2 is in the books. A topsy-turvy week full of shocking results where the top 4 failed to register a win and the rise of some unlikely heroes who have shown us great promise for the upcoming season. MD 3 might not have the most entertaining fixtures but there are points to be won and ranks to be climbed. Let’s look at who made the cut to our rankings this week!

Note: Bayern Munich players Muller, Kimmich, Davies, Sule, Hernandez and Pavard played the entire match against Borussia Dortmund in the Supercup final on Wednesday. From the opposing team, Passlack, Delaney, Dahoud, Can, Akanji and Hitz went all the way.

Similarly, Wolfsburg players Weghorst, Mehmedi, Steffen, Arnold, Otavio, Lacroix, Guilavogui and Rousillon played till the full time in the 2-1 loss AEK Athens in the Europa League Qualifiers on Thursday.

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	Vs BSC	18.4M
2	Erling Haaland	BVB	Vs SCF	17.5M	He had a good showing in the Supercup chipping in with a goal and an assist
3	Andrej Kramarić	TSG	@SGE	14.8M	The most in-form player in the league with 5 goals in 2 games. He has risen by 0.8M in that time and might be too expensive to get after a while if he keeps performing this way.
4	Serge Gnabry	FCB	@TSG	17.3M
5	Emil Forsberg	RBL	Vs S04	11.4M
6	Alasanne Plea	BMG	@KOE	15.1M	Might have not gotten himself a goal but he had more shots and dribbles than Thuram.
7	Marcus Thuram	BMG	@KOE	14.2M
8	Niclas Füllkrug	SVW	Vs DSC	11.4M	A doubt to start against Arminia but it wouldn't be fair to leave him out after scoring a hattrick.
9	Andre Silva	SGE	Vs TSG	14.5M	Silva has been on a tear since the corona break scoring 10 goals and assisting 3 in 12 games
10	Patrik Schick	B04	@VFB	14.1M	His game winning goal was cancelled out Vs former team Leipzig but the team looked more fluent with him in attack. I expect Leverkusen to dominate Stuttgart like they did against Leipzig and Schick should have good chances.

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Jadon Sancho	BVB	Vs SCF	17.4M	With the uncertainty regarding premium midfielders, Sancho is an easy recommend for #1. But he himself is also a doubt to start so watch out for that.
2	Dani Olmo	RBL	Vs S04	14.2M	There isn't any other Leipzig midfielder worth considering unless Sabitzer comes back.
3	Joshua Kimmich	FCB	Vs BSC	16.6M	Kimmich is in terrific form scoring in his last 2 games for Bayern. Hertha haven't won at Bayern since 1977 and I don't think that will change this week.
4	Daichi Kamada	SGE	Vs TSG	11.5M
5	Jonas Hofmann	BMG	@KOE	12.3M
6	Julian Brandt	BVB	Vs SCF	14M
7	Josip Brekalo	WOB	Vs FCA	9.5M	Possibly the best midfield pick from the Wolfsburg-Augsburg game and he gives you star flexibility as they have an individual fixture on Sunday.
8	Daniel Didavi	VFB	Vs B04	7.6M
9	Daniel Caligiuri	FCA	@WOB	9.5M
10	Marius Bülter	FCU	Vs M05	8.3M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Ludwig Augustinsson	SVW	Vs DSC	9.6M	He has quickly become a must have asset raking up an assist in each of his 2 games. Arminia also brings a good opportunity to keep a cleansheet with them.
2	Angeliño	RBL	Vs S04	13M	It's Schalke.
3	Alphonso Davies	FCB	Vs BSC	14.9M	If you're lucky he might even play OOP on the wing but that depends on the availability of Alaba. Which makes it unlikely.
4	Raphael Guerreiro	BVB	Vs SCF	13.9M
5	Pavel Kadeřábek	TSG	@SGE	11.1M	I think the match of Kadeřábek Vs Zuber is something to look forward to. Might reap dividends for Kadeřábek.
6	Christopher Lenz	FCU	Vs M05	9.3M	He seems like a good 2 week punt since he plays Mainz first and then Schalke last the gameweek after.
7	Daniel Brosinski	M05	@FCU	9.1M	With the expelling Beierlorzer and transfer of Baku, Brosinski should now play in his orignal position of RB where he is more comfortable.
8	Lukas Klostermann	RBL	Vs S04	12.1M
9	Ramy Bensebaini	BMG	@KOE	11.8M
10	Iago	WOB	@FCA	5.3M	The gamble could possibly be worth it if Wolfsburg play their B team again.

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Stefan Ortega	DSC	@SVW	5.5M	As if he didn't surprise me enough with his performance in MD1, he chipped in with an assist in the next one. What a guy!
2	Gregor Kobel	VFB	Vs B04	4.9M
3	Péter Gulácsi	RBL	Vs S04	10.9M	The best chance at cleansheet for the week?
4	Rafał Gikiewicz	FCA	@WOB	7.4M	He has the highest save points so far with 12 in 2 games.
5	Robin Zentner	M05	@FCU	4.9M
