|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Erling Braut Håland | BVB | Vs S04 | 17.9M | He dethrones Lewandowski for the top spot this week as he plays Schalke who have conceded the most goals this season with 16. He scored a goal and assisted one the last time he played Schalke at home. |
| 2 | Robert Lewandowski | FCB | Vs SGE | 19.2M | Lewandowski has 6 goals in his last 2 games and has scored in the last 2 games he played against Frankfurt. Lethal. |
| 3 | Marco Reus | BVB | Vs S04 | 16.1M | |
| 4 | Alassane Pléa | BMG | @M05 | 15.3M | Borussia have scored 3 goals in each of their last 2 games against Mainz and Pléa scored 3 and assisted one in them. |

| 6 | Saša Kalajdžić | VFB | Vs KOE | 4.8M | Saša has scored in both home games this season and now struggling Koln pay a visit for the first game of the week. |
| 7 | Marcus Thuram | BMG | @M05 | 14.4M | |
| 8 | Yussuf Poulsen | RBL | Vs BSC | 11.3M | Hertha has had the 3rd worst defense so far and Poulsen could capitalize on their weakness of not being able to defend set pieces. |
| 9 | Douglas Costa | FCB | Vs SGE | 12M | |
| 10 | Nicolás González | VFB | Vs KOE | 8.7M | He was the top scorer for Stuttgart with 14 goals and 3 assists. Now he is set to start against Koln. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jonas Hofmann | BMG | @M05 | 13M | Hofmann seems unstoppable right now. He has scored/assisted in his last 4 games for Borussia. Mainz is another great fixture for him. |
| 2 | Giovanni Reyna | BVB | Vs S04 | 7.8M | The last time Reyna paired up with Reus instead of Sancho, he had a hattrick of assists. |
| 3 | Dani Olmo | RBL | Vs BSC | 14.8M | |
| 4 | Lars Stindl | BMG | @M05 | 12.6M | |
| 5 | Joshua Kimmich | FCB | Vs SGE | 16.5M | |
| 6 | Milot Rashica | SVW | Vs TSG | 12.7M | He could be a trump card against Hoffenheim but whether he will start or not still remains a question |
| 7 | Daniel Didavi | VFB | Vs KOE | 7.5M | |
| 8 | Vincenzo Grifo | SCF | @FCU | 11.6M | |
| 9 | Florian Wirtz | B04 | Vs FCA | 6.1M | |

Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raphaël Guerreiro | BVB | Vs S04 | 14.1M | He might not be in the best form but a game against Schalke is a good opportunity to change that. Especially when you scored 2 goals against them last time. |
| 2 | Angeliño | RBL | Vs BSC | 13.9M | Angelino currently has his shooting boots on scoring 4 goals in his last 3 games. |
| 3 | Alphonso Davies | FCB | Vs SGE | 15M | He surprisingly didn't start the last 2 games for Bayern but he should against Frankfurt. |
| 4 | Ramy Bensebaini | BMG | @M05 | 12M | |
| 5 | Christopher Trimmel | FCU | Vs SCF | 10M | |
| 6 | Christian Günter | SCF | @FCU | 11.3M | It's going to be showdown between him and Trimmel about who can get better crosses. |
| 7 | Marc-Oliver Kempf | VFB | Vs KOE | 5.6M | |
| 8 | Maxence Lacroix | WOB | Vs DSC | 4.2M | 2nd best defense against 2nd worst offense. Just 4.2M. Need I say more? |
| 9 | Benjamin Henrichs | RBL | Vs BSC | 12.3M | |
| 10 | Stefan Lainer | BMG | @M05 | 9.8M |
