NOTES
- The international break is finally over, and the Bundesliga returns on Friday!
- While many Fantasy managers have opted to own just Michael Olise from Bayern Munich, I’m sticking with the double-up alongside Harry Kane.
- Kane looks like a slight differential this week, which doesn’t happen very often. I’m hoping that decision pays off.
- Elsewhere, my team looks pretty similar to the one I had before the international break. I’ve kept things relatively cheap in defence, allowing me to invest more heavily in Bayern’s attacking players.
- Kane, Olise and Jordy Makengo take my three star selections for the upcoming Gameweek.

NOTES
- With the international break finally over, Fabian Bredlow looks set to lose his starting spot at Stuttgart following Dennis Seimen‘s return. That brings Loris Karius into my team. He’s scored at least 151 points in every match this season, making him a reliable option between the sticks. Meanwhile, Robin Zentner‘s injury makes Alexander Schwolow an excellent budget goalkeeper, at least for this week.
- I’m continuing to save money in defence, with three very cheap options alongside Maximilian Mittelstädt. The Stuttgart defender has performed well this season, and his upcoming fixtures make him a reliable star selection most weeks. Jordy Makengo also keeps his place. Freiburg’s fixtures are becoming slightly tougher, but he still looks like the standout option at his price. At just €4.03m, Lukas Pinckert offers excellent value. He has the highest average points of any defender priced below €7m. I’m less convinced by Keita Kosugi, but €3.78m for a starting Frankfurt wing-back is difficult to ignore.
- Michael Olise remains an automatic pick and takes one of my star selections, as usual. Alongside him, I’ve gone for three mid-priced options in Yuito Suzuki, Lukas Petkov and Grischa Prömel. Suzuki offers explosive potential in an in-form side, while Petkov brings a reliable points floor and a favourable fixture this week. Prömel also appeals as an affordable route into Stuttgart’s attack. Youri Regeer completes the midfield. He looks capable of scoring 200 points without an attacking return, which is impressive at his price. We should also know whether he starts before the deadline.
- Unlimited transfers finally give me the chance to bring in Igor Matanović, the highest-scoring forward in the game so far. His shots on target and duels won provide a strong points floor, making him an excellent star selection. Phillip Tietz and Marco Grüll are both likely to keep their places after performing well for me before the break, particularly Tietz. Cole Campbell completes the attack. I’m still slightly concerned about his expected minutes, but his last appearance was encouraging. He played 88 minutes before the international break, showing plenty of goal threat and a respectable points floor.

NOTES
- With the international break over and a free Wildcard available, I’m hoping to get my season back on track. I’m currently sitting at 896th overall, so there’s plenty of room for improvement.
- I’ve gone very cheap in defence, with most of my players costing under €6m. The exception is Ozan Kabak, who has an excellent run of fixtures ahead. We also know how dangerous he can be in front of goal.
- Midfield follows a similar approach, with three budget options alongside Konstantinos Karetsas and Michael Olise. Dortmund’s upcoming fixtures look particularly appealing, so I’m keen to target their attack with Karetsas. As for Olise, what more needs to be said? The best player in the world and the best asset in Bundesliga Fantasy!
- I’ve spent much more heavily in attack, with Serhou Guirassy, Phillip Tietz and Mikey Moore making up my front three. All offer either favourable fixtures or reliable routes to points. Guirassy particularly appeals as a long-term pick. With Ramy Bensebaini a major doubt, there’s a chance he could regain penalty duties, which would only increase his appeal.
- I’m currently leaning towards a 4-4-2 formation, although a 3-4-3 is still possible. Kabak, Olise and Guirassy will take my three star selections this week, with the premium players getting the nod.

NOTES
- I’m hoping to carry my good momentum from before the international break into the upcoming Gameweek, with a team that offers plenty of value across the pitch.
- In goal, Alexander Schwolow is expected to start for Mainz, making him the cheapest available goalkeeper option. Marvin Schwäbe also offers good value at his price, as I’m keen to avoid spending too much in this position.
- Maximilian Mittelstädt gets my defensive star ahead of Alphonso Davies. Meanwhile, Koki Machida offers excellent value as a cheap route into Hoffenheim’s defence. I expect them to improve defensively, and their upcoming fixtures look promising. Jordy Makengo and Luca Sirch complete the defence. Both are affordable options who allow me to spend more elsewhere.
- Michael Olise takes a midfield star, as he does every week! Ismael Saibari also makes the team, with a start expected and plenty of attacking upside. The remaining midfield spots go to Grischa Prömel, Ellyes Skhiri and Łukasz Poręba. All three offer a strong points floor, while their upcoming fixtures add to their appeal.
- Adam Daghim takes my attacking star this week. His consistent returns and impressive points floor have caught my eye, while a home fixture against a struggling Hamburg side makes him particularly appealing. Derry Scherhant and Fábio Silva complete my front three. Silva’s place isn’t guaranteed just yet, though, as we’ll get to see Dortmund’s starting XI before the deadline. That could influence my final decision.

NOTES
- My transfer plan was pretty simple: bring in Michael Olise, Alphonso Davies and Felix Nmecha.
- I’ve kept the rest of the squad largely unchanged, with the main focus on targeting a struggling Hamburg side this week.
- I’m currently playing with two forwards, although I’m tempted by Fábio Silva over Serhou Guirassy. I’m not quite sure how to fit him into the team yet, so there could still be a few changes before the deadline.
