Forwards

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
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.
5	Thomas Muller	FCB	Vs SGE	17.4M	He has scored/assisted in his last 6 games for Bayern.
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
10	Daichi Kamada	SGE	@FCB	12.2M

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

Goalkeepers

Rank	Name	Team	Opponent	Value	Comments
