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. |
