Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings for Matchday 31

Bundesliga Fantasy returns after a short two-day break as matchday 31 offers a quick turnaround and the biggest highlights of this week’s player rankings are that Lewandowski returns for Bayern Munich while Schalke get a rest because of their postponed game against Hertha.

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	@M05	25.7M	A reminder that Lewandowski needs just five goals in the last four matchdays to break Gerd Müller's record. There is no bigger motivation than that and it is hard to pass on the best player in the league when he starts.
2	André Silva	SGE	@B04	21.2M
3	Thomas Müller	FCB	@M05	23.6M	Lewandowski's return should boost his production in fantasy even more.
4	Erling Haaland	BVB	@WOB	21.9M	Sancho returning to the starting XI is similar to the situation above.
5	Wout Weghorst	WOB	Vs BVB	21.6M	A towering striker in the form of his life should score against a team that goes into a frenzy while defending headers, right? The only worry here is that Wolfsburg haven't scored against BVB in each of their last eight Bundesliga games against them since 2016.
6	Andrej Kramarić	TSG	@SCF	18.1M	I won't hedge my bets on Hoffenheim because of how unpredictable they are but they only play teams in the bottom seven for defense until the end of the season. That is Freiburg, Schalke, Arminia, and Hertha which makes Kramarić a differential option as he tends to pick up form towards the end of the season.
7	Alexander Sørloth	RBL	Vs VFB	15.1M	A good matchup but Leipzig have failed to score in their last two home games.
8	Max Kruse	FCU	Vs SVW	12.2M
9	Marcus Thuram	BMG	Vs DSC	15.8M
10	Leon Bailey	B04	Vs SGE	15M

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Christopher Nkunku	RBL	Vs VFB	18M	Stuttgart are down to their third choice wingbacks and if Wolfsburg's wide players such as Gerhardt (16) and Brekalo (14) hauling last week is something to go by then Nkunku and Olmo should have a good game.
2	Filip Kostić	SGE	@B04	20.9M
3	Jadon Sancho	BVB	@WOB	21.3M	Sancho was able to rack up nine points in just 30 minutes after coming off the bench against Union. A display of his potential as an asset in Fantasy Bundesliga.
4	Dani Olmo	RBL	Vs VFB	18.7M
5	Leroy Sané	FCB	@M05	19.9M	Musiala deserves better than to be replaced by an out-of-form Sané.
6	Jonas Hector	KOE	@FCA	10.5M	Hector has three goals and two assists in six games after returning form injury, is a threat from headers and has full freedom to bomb forward in attack from deep in midfield under new head coach Funkel. His closest equivalent is Tomáš Souček from West Ham.
7	Rolland Sallai	SCF	Vs TSG	9.3M
8	Jonas Hofmann	BMG	Vs DSC	14M	How well Hofmann does is anybody's guess at this point. Borussia will manage to beat top six teams such as Bayern, Dortmund and Frankfurt but lose to teams like Hoffenheim, Augsburg, Koln and Mainz.
9	Maximillian Arnold	WOB	Vs BVB	16.4M
10	Ritsu Doan	DSC	@BMG	10.7M	Doan had a monster game against Schalke last week scoring 16 points without being involved in the only goal of the match but he can still be a boring, high floor pick with tougher individual fixtures this week against BMG and next week against Hertha.

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Angeliño	RBL	Vs VFB	16.6M	Hopefully Nagelsmann doesn't resent him now and he plays the full 90 minutes.
2	Raphaël Guerreiro	BVB	@WOB	17.5M
3	Alphonso Davies	FCB	@M05	15.4M	Alaba might've been the best Bayern defender last week with his 22 pointer but it is too late to hop on that train as Goretzka's return will move him back to center back.
4	Ramy Bensebaini	BMG	Vs DSC	12.6M	The Arminia attack shouldn't create too much fear for Borussia as they aren't capable of comebacks.
5	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	Vs SVW	11.6M
6	Erik Durm	SGE	@B04	3.4M	The Frankfurt defence now looks much better because they don't have to force Ilsanker to fill in at center back.
7	Ludwig Augustinsson	SVW	@FCU	9.3M	He is averaging seven points per game in his last six games despite not winning in any of them.
8	Christian Günter	SCF	Vs TSG	12.4M
9	Paulo Otávio	WOB	Vs BVB	9M
10	Jannes Horn	KOE	@FCA	1.4M	A small chance that FC Köln sneak a clean sheet in the early fixture against an Augsburg team that couldn't even score against Schalke.

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Florian Müller	SCF	Vs TSG	5.2M	Hoffenheim have scored just once in their last three away games and Müller has potential for a clean sheet as well as saves against a team that shoots a lot but doesn't score as often.
2	Stefan Ortega	DSC	@BMG	7.5M
3	Gregor Kobel	VFB	@RBL	5.6M	A ceiling pick for this week and he was the highest-scoring keeper in the matchday of the reverse fixtures with 17 points out of which 12 were just for saves.
4	Andreas Luthe	FCU	Vs SVW	4.8M
5	Marwin Hitz	BVB	@WOB	1.7M
