Fantasy Bundesliga

The best Fantasy Bundesliga players for Matchday 3

Matchday 3 presents a great opportunity to take some risks in Fantasy Bundesliga, with the first Wildcard of the season coming into play during the upcoming international break.

So, here are some of the best picks ahead of this week’s fixtures.

GOALKEEPERS

Stefan Ortega (8.4m), Philipp Pentke (1.0m)

Arminia Bielefeld’s Stefan Ortega (£8.4m) has started this season as he finished the last, with 10 saves from his first two games. He now faces Eintracht Frankfurt who’ve taken 32 shots but only scored twice, as Oliver Glasner’s new side are yet to fully find their feet. This is an ideal fixture for a Fantasy Bundesliga goalkeeper with high save potential, plus Bielefeld’s defence has looked solid so far this season. 

Philipp Pentke (1.0m) is in yet again as a cheap filler. Whilst he doesn’t start, you really don’t need two goalkeepers in this game. 

DEFENDERS 

Raphael Guerreiro (13.9m), Alphonso Davies (13.4m), Borna Sosa (11.2m), Mitchel Bakker (7.3m), Aaron Martin (3.1m)

Last season’s second-highest scoring defender, Raphael Guerreiro (13.9m) is set for his first start under Marco Rose. The Portuguese left-back averaged 10 points per game last season and Borussia Dortmund will be keen to bounce back after last week’s loss to Freiburg.

Borna Sosa (11.2m) has been brilliant so far this season, with his 13 crosses from open play the joint-most by any player. Freiburg have been solid but haven’t been great going forward and should give Sosa opportunities to rack up points at both ends of the pitch.

Mitchel Bakker (7.3m) is fresh from a goal, assist and 19 points against Borussia Mönchengladbach and faces 17th placed Augsburg, who are yet to score this season and have taken just 11 shots. He’s got a great fixture, form and is good value.

Alphonso Davies (13.4m) has managed 20 points already this season, despite no goals, assists or clean sheets. The flying Canadian has been one of Bayern Munich’s best players and should be heavily involved once again against a Hertha Berlin side rooted to the bottom of the table.

Aaron Martin (3.1m) and Mainz have a great fixture against Greuther Fürth this week. Despite failing to impress in last week’s clash with VfL Bochum, left wing-back Martin got 11 points in the opening weekend win over RB Leipzig, has made five crosses from open play, taken three shots and is the best value option for Matchday 3.

MIDFIELDERS

Joshua Kimmich (15.5m), Giovanni Reyna (12.5m), Dominik Szoboszlai (11.0m), Jesper Lindstrom (7.2m), Jan Thielmann (£4.1m)

Dominik Szoboszlai (£11.0m) took the Bundesliga by storm in his first start as RB Leipzig got back to winning ways with their 4-0 win over Stuttgart. Szoboszlai got two goals from four shots and made five crosses as he became the highest scoring midfielder in the game despite having played only one match. The Hungarian looks to be the focal point of this attack already and, at over three million less than Christopher Nkunku (14.4m), he gets the nod in my squad this week.

Joshua Kimmich (15.5m) has only managed one assist from his first two games, but already has 21 points to show for it. He’s on most set-pieces and has looked sharp in Bayern’s first two games. Their upcoming fixture against a winless Hertha side who’ve conceded five in their first two against Köln and Wolfsburg couldn’t be much better.

Frankfurt have failed to impress so far, but their game against Arminia Bielefeld gives Jesper Lindstrom (7.2m) a good chance to build on his solid Bundesliga start. The young Dane has four shots so far and has at times been lining up as a no. 10. Bielefeld will give him space and opportunities to try and open his Bundesliga account.

Giovanni Reyna (12.5m) has had a great start to the season for Dortmund. He got a good opening day goal, was then heavily involved against Freiburg and now sits on 22 points from two games. Hoffenheim is a good fixture for Dortmund to get back on track and, if they do, Reyna will be at the heart of it.

Jan Thielmann (4.1m) grabbed an assist for Köln on Matchday 1 and has a good fixture this week against VfL Bochum. He’s made seven crosses so far this season and, for his price, there aren’t any better options given the plum fixture he’s got. 

FORWARDS 

Robert Lewandowski (17.7m), Erling Haaland (16.6m), Moussa Diaby (12.6m)

Erling Haaland (16.6m) has taken the most shots of any Bundesliga player so far this season (12), nears the top for most duels (29) and is the highest scoring player in the game with 38 points. His upcoming match against Hoffenheim should give him plenty of opportunities to add to that, too.

Robert Lewandowski (17.7m) plays the team at the bottom of the table. Buy him. I don’t really need to say much more than that.

Moussa Diaby (12.6m) seems to have finally found his feet under Gerardo Seoane and has impressed in both of Bayer Leverkusen’s opening games. He’s grabbed two goals and an assist in two tough matches so far and faces an Augsburg side 17th in the table, who also lost 4-0 to Hoffenheim on the opening day. He presents a great differential pick in the forward line.

      I haven’t been this happy since my wife and daughter recovered from COVID last spring. Thank you, MUFC, for saving us from ourselves!

  6. R.C

    An unbelievable transfer window gets more incredible. City made signing a world-class striker a priority this window and with four days left have failed to land Kane or Haaland, passed on Lukaku, Griezmann and now Ronaldo, and signed nobody

      If Pep could have a team of 11 midfielders he would.

      Kane would have been perfect for the way City play. He's a wonderful passer.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Reckon Ronnie’s coming home Giggs?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Absolutely. It's happening 😀

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            😮 wow……amazing 😛

    2. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Haaland is worth waiting for. It’s not like we haven’t had to be patient for success before.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure he suits City's system.

        I reckon he'll go United next year. Haaland adores Sancho and regularly chats with Ole.

        1. Noisy Neighbour
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I think Haaland could fit any system. Besides, Pep is gone after next year anyway, so who knows what system will be in play after that.

  7. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    New! Ronaldo (FWD) #MUN [Price: £4.5m] - #FPL

    1. R.C

  8. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Any team news/injuries for Man City? Pep didn't seem to say much beyond KDB is out.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ronaldo now a doubt for GW3

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        😛

  9. smix

    B. Jota, Son, Lukaku

    Better option for next 3 games ?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      A

  10. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So United will pay circa 30m transfer fee and all of his 500k wages??

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Glazers want him so yes

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No way

    3. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Feels a bit like Sanchez all over again.

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Messi CR7 Neymar

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd rather see this tbh

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Manchester United are preparing their official contract proposal to Cristiano Ronaldo! Jorge Mendes will receive it soon. Man Utd are “confident” now.

  13. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is Ronnie to Man Utd a real thing?

    Lingard spewing at more competition to win his place back.

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mason Greenwood owners enjoy GW3 its his last game for a while.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      We'll have him on loan.

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Sound.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Surely he will get gw4:as well Mr CR7 starts from bench?
      Actually pleased with it was going to WC gw5. Now likely will get mount\sarr for Greenwood.
      If Rinaldo does move also means no pens for Bruno?
      Game changer for him FPL wise?

  15. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Greenwood owners, time to sell

  16. AleksaMaster
    • 6 Years

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Didn’t McT just have groin surgery?
        Gonna be interesting how they keep so many players happy

  17. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How much more do we think CR7 will cost more than Kane?
    Looking to keep the difference in the bank.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      1m

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Greenwood downgrade then.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Has to be same

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Im thinking 12.5m.
        So 0.2m to find.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years

      Same as he left. 14 mil

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        You reckon.?
        That much.

        Meanwhile we chase Maupay and Luis Diaz.

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Luiz Diaz would be a signing

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Sending James the other way on loan. Dont know anything about Diaz but getting James wages of the books would be great.

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Surely can’t be more than Salah at age 36.

    1. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years

      Yeah, Bruno a definite sell in the near future.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      This guy had immortality at Manchester United and he decides to ruin that at the age of 36 just for 1 or 2 more silverware. What a snake. Wayne Mark Rooney will always be my goat anyway

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years

  25. Emiliano Sala

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ronaldo clearly not as attractive as a city forward

  26. Bobby Digital
