Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 4

A long International Break has finally come to an end and we won’t be disturbed by it for another month at least. It brings with it heavy rotation and some missing big names. This week we have 10 teams for the first game of the week at 1:30PM GMT. Find out who tops our rankings for matchday 4:

Note: Hoffenheim players Andrej Kramarić and Kasim Adams have tested positive for Covid-19 whereas Pavel Kadeřábek has family members who tested positive so he will not participate against Dortmund.

Joshua Kimmich is awaiting the birth of his 2nd child so he won’t join the squad against Arminia Bielefield.

Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Robert Lewandowski	FCB	@DSC	18.8M	He is the gift that that keeps on giving. 4 goals in the last matchday and 2 goals and an assist against Bosnia for the NT. Arminia might have shown some good defensive displays but I don't think they can get a point out of this one.
2	Erling Haaland	BVB	@TSG	17.9M
3	Serge Gnabry	FCB	@DSC	17.4M
4	Andre Silva	SGE	@KOE	14.9M	Silva's hot form continues as he has contributed with a goal/assist in each of the games so far. Koln have contrasting fortunes conceding 3 goals each in their 2 home games and losing all their games so far.
5	Matheus Cunha	BSC	Vs VFB	12.7M
6	Lucas Alario	B04	@M05	9.9M	The managerial change hasn't really worked so far for Mainz and conceding 4 goals against Union is bad omen. Leverkusen have drawn all their games so far and will be desperate for 3 points in this game
7	Saša Kalajdžić	VFB	@BSC	4.7M	Saša has been a standout performer for Stuttgart so far scoring in each game. Hertha is 3rd for most goals conceded and only ahead of Mainz and Schalke.
8	Alasanne Plea	BMG	Vs WOB	15.4M
9	Thomas Muller	FCB	@DSC	17M	The absence of Kimmich opens up some free kick and corner kick opportunities for him.
10	Munnas Dabbur	TSG	Vs BVB	11.6M

Midfielders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Daichi Kamada	SGE	@KOE	11.9M	Playing Koln away seems to be a rewarding fixture for #10s. The average is 19 points over 2 games. It doesn't mean Kamada will get that many points but it indicates that he could have a good game. Especially with the opposite forms of both teams.
2	Jonas Hofmann	BMG	Vs WOB	12.7M	Wolfsburg are weak at defending set pieces so Hofmann will be a constant threat. He also scored 2 goals the last time both these teams met.
3	Jadon Sancho	BVB	@TSG	17.3M
4	Vincenzo Grifo	SCF	Vs SVW	11.5M
5	Lars Stindl	BMG	Vs WOB	12.5M
6	Kerem Demirbay	B04	@M05	12.4M	He should play in a more attacking role now that Wirtz is injured and Mainz is a perfect game.
7	Giovanni Reyna	BVB	@TSG	7.6M
8	Leonardo Bittencourt	SVW	@SCF	9.6M
9	Leon Goretzka	FCB	@DSC	14.1M	He is the only Bayern midfielder worth considering since Kimmich won't play. That should mean he won't be subbed out early atleast.
10	Vladimir Darida	BSC	Vs VFB	10.4M

Defenders

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Christopher Trimmel	FCU	@S04	9.7M	He displayed some of his old form with 2 assists against Mainz and now he plays Schalke who have conceded the most goals and scored only 1 so far.
2	Ramy Bensebaini	BMG	Vs WOB	12M	Wolfsburg are on the same boat as Schalke. Only 1 goal scored.
3	Almamy Toure	SGE	@KOE	8.1M
4	Ludwig Augustinsson	SVW	@SCF	9.7M
5	Angeliño	RBL	@FCA	13.5M
6	Lucas Hernandez	FCB	@DSC	11.2M	He should start this week given the amount of minutes Davies has played and Arminia Bielefeld is the easiest clean sheet prediction for the week.
7	Raphael Guerreiro	BVB	@TSG	14.1M	The battle against Akpoguma on the wings is something to look forward to.
8	Lars Bender	B04	@M05	9.3M
9	Christopher Lenz	FCU	@S04	9.5M	Nico Schlotterbeck was a bit of thorn in his side when it came to attack and bonus points but he is injured now.
10	Maximilian Mittelstädt	BSC	Vs VFB	8.5M
11	Christian Günter	SCF	Vs SVW	10.9M	He offers set-piece threat just like Grifo.

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
1	Andreas Luthe	FCU	@S04	5M
2	Rafał Gikiewicz	FCA	Vs RBL	7.7M	Not everyday a keeper gets recommended against Leipzig but Augsburg have been really strong defensively and Gikie has saved 94% of the shots he has faced so far.
3	Alexander Schwolow	BSC	Vs VFB	9.9M	Shots a plenty in this game.
4	Florian Muller	SCF	Vs SVW	3.8M
5	Frederik Rønnow	S04	Vs FCU	1.7M	The cheapest starting keeper in the game. We have seen good glimpses of him whenever he got some playing time. Could be a gem at the price.
