Fantasy Bundesliga

The best Fantasy Bundesliga players for Matchday 4

Fantasy Bundesliga is back after the international break and we’ve all got our Wildcards in play, so here are some of the best picks ahead of Matchday 4.

SIGN UP TO FANTASY BUNDESLIGA AND PICK A TEAM HERE

GOALKEEPERS

Manuel Riemann (5.4m), Phillip Pentke (1.0m)

Maneul Riemann has done a solid job so far this season and fixtures don’t come much better than a home tie against rock-bottom Hertha Berlin. Bochum have been solid at the back so far and will know how important these three points are. Riemann is currently the third highest-scoring goalkeeper in the game with 27 points, while his 14 saves ranks third.

Phillip Pentke is the 1.0m fodder of choice so far this season and holds his place after another solid week on the subs bench.

DEFENDERS 

Alphonso Davies (13.7m), Kevin Mbabu (10.8m), Anderson Lucoqui (6.2m), Niko Giesselmann (3.7m), Joe Scally (2.2m)

Four of the top five highest-scoring defenders so far this season make this squad thanks to good fixtures and great underlying stats.

Niko Giesselemann has secured the left-wing back spot vacated by Christopher Lenz (9.3m) and has scored in his last two games. Union’s home fixture against 17th placed Augsburg, who’ve looked chaotic at the back and clueless going forward so far this season, is a prime fixture to rack up a third double-digit haul in a row. At just 3.7m, you really can’t go too far wrong with this pick. 

Anderson Lucoqui racked up 23 points on his Bundesliga debut, picking up six points for winning at least 15 duels and four points for two goal attempts. Lucoqui was everywhere for Mainz on Matchday 3 and is well-placed to add to this against a Hoffenheim side who’ve conceded lots of chances so far and looked unconvincing at best at the back. 

The highest-scoring defender in the game so far this season, Kevin Mbabu, has scored 35 points without yet registering a goal contribution. He’s grabbed 16 points for duels won, managed 10 open play crosses and Wolfsburg visit a Fürth side who’ve looked very poor at both ends of the pitch. The Swiss right-back was one of the first names on this team sheet.

Alphonso Davies is something of a risky pick after he went off injured against the USA on international duty, but he’s back in training and Julian Nagelsmann really needs him ready for their visit to RB Leizpig. Jesse Marsch’s Leipzig side have failed to impress so far this season and Davies has been one of Bayern’s best players through the opening three Matchdays. I looked at bringing in Raphael Guerreiro (14.1m) for this spot, but Davies being a captaincy option on the Sunday swings the decision in his favour.

Gladbach’s Joe Scally is still in their starting XI due to injury and they have a great defensive fixture at home to Arminia Bielefeld. Despite quite how bad Gladbach have been at points this season, Scally has been one of their strongest players, picking up eight points for goal attempts and 12 points for duels. Whilst he may not be a long term pick, he’s a great option this week at just 2.2m. 

MIDFIELDERS

Leon Goretzka (14.3m), Jonas Hofmann (12.5m), Jude Bellingham (11.6m), Jens Petter Hauge (11.4m), Wooyeong Jeong (4.4m)

This is the first time four out of five of these midfielders have made my picks.

Wooyeong Jeong has been playing up front for Freiburg and got two goals against Stuttgart last time out. Freiburg have been solid so far this season and 4.4m for a midfielder playing OOP, Jeong is a risk that’s worth taking.

Despite interest from Bayern, Jonas Hofmann is still at Gladbach and, along with Scally, has been among their best performers in a terrible start to the season. His last-minute goal in their loss to Union last time out gave him 16 points in Matchday 3 and he’s managed seven shots in just two starts. A visit to Arminia Bielefeld will give Adi Hütter’s new side a much-needed opportunity to get three points. 

Leon Goretzka has managed 10 shots without a goal so far this season and looks set for an explosion at some point. He’s clearly working well under Julian Nagelsmann and is a great option for this week’s visit to an underperforming RBL side. 

Jens Petter Hauge has been arguably the only shining light in a poor Eintracht Frankfurt side so far under Oliver Glasner. The young Norwegian has scored two of his side’s three goals this season and has also managed seven shots. Hosting a defensively-poor Stuttgart side presents a great opportunity for him to add to that tally.

With Giovanni Reyna (12.5m) out injured, Jude Bellingham should have even more license to go forward and continue his brilliant start to the season for Dortmund. He’s fresh from back-to-back double-digit hauls ahead of the visit to Bayer Leverkusen, and his six shots so far this season show he’s becoming a more and more important part of this Dortmund attack.

FORWARDS 

Robert Lewandowski (18.1m), Erling Haaland (17.0m), Wout Weghorst (14.7m)

Three premium forwards make it into the squad this week.

Wout Weghorst scored in the opening day win over Bochum, is on penalties and has managed 11 shots across the first three Matchdays. A visit to Fürth should give him plenty of opportunities to build on a decent start to the 2021/22 season.

The next two forwards are Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland.

They’ve scored nearly 20 points more than any other player this season and have also taken the most shots (16 and 18 respectively). It doesn’t matter who they’re playing. Just buy them.

    Best Wolves defender to go for? Saiss would most likely mean a 4.4 mid

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

      Dier > Wol def

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Semedo then Saiss.

  2. Igz08
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Son to Torres for a hit?

    Or start Livramento

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      liv

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

      Take the hit. Torres good option. Cap next week. Son might be out for more than 1 GW

      1. Igz08
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That’s my worry too

  3. BerryMaze
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    My final WC draft.
    Sanchez (Steele)
    Rudiger TAA Reguilón (Coady, Livramento)
    Salah Greenwood Son Odegaard Gray
    Antonio Lukaku (Archer)

    1. Son surely out? So should i change to Grealish or any other?
    2. Who to captain, Salah versus Lukaku?
    3. Rest good to go?

    Many thanks!

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

      Son to Ferran Torres
      Cap Lukaku
      G2G

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry to be a spoil sport but not that excited by it. Odegaard a big risk. Gray a punt too.

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

    Did Cavani train?

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which combo on WC?

    A) Christensen and Greenwood
    B) Shaw and Torres

    1. james 101

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go A. Might need a half decent bench for Christensen's occasional benching.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, agree. Livra, White and Allan too weak?

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Nah, that's perfect. Can see White getting some points with Arsenal's next fixtures if you end up needing him.

    3. linkafu

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Like it, differentials!

      What’s your bench?

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Barnes Livermento 4.5fwd

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Nice!

  7. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    DCL and TAA

    Or

    Lukaku and Tierney?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guys. That's what I'm currently on, just wish I could cram Lukaku in some how. Think he'll tear Villa to pieces.

  8. Zanainem
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    on WC:

    Sanchez
    TAA Dier Dias
    Traore Salah GReenwood Jota
    Ronaldo (C) Jimenez Antonio

    Steele Allan Williams Duffy

    Thoughts? Traore for Gray? Cant manage going for Dier because of 0.3

  9. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have sort of neglected my team over the international break.
    Wildcard needed? Or can I fix this with transfers?

    Sanchez - Foster
    TAA - Ayling - Coufal
    Salah - Benrahma - Bruno - Gundogan
    Ings - Wilson - Antonio

    Foster - Raphinha - Amartey - Tsimikas

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson is out.

      Team looks ok to me. Wilson -> Bamford/DCL?

      1. Atwood
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Can get Bamford, can't afford DCL.

        Just worried about no Ronaldo/Lukaku.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          DCL and Jimi looks nice, DCL better option than Lukaku next 3 anyway (you wont cap Luka in the following two weeks) and DCL fixtures r great

          1. Atwood
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Richarlison a possible differential since I can't afford DCL, or is he just not good enough?

  10. storr84
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any advice with this lot?

    Sanchez

    TAA Ayling Shaw
    Barnes Salah Bruno Greenwood

        Would your answers change if I said I would WC next week?

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

          No

        2. OptimusBlack

          Nope

  17. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    My planned move next week was Son to Salah. Taking a hit here to do it for GW4 seems too much. I've Dele off the bench. Dele + 4 = Salah. Possible. Ugh.

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

      Salah could score a hattrick. There is upside. I'd make the move

      1. CroatianHammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        The thing is I could have done this for -4 instead of -8 but felt Son would outscore Salah this one week...then this happens. I'll monitor price movements. Decide tonight.

  18. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno/Ings -> Jota/Ronaldo (-4) this week makes getting Salah(c) next week tricky. Enough of a reason to just do Ings -> DCL this week and Bruno -> Salah next week?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Shaw, White
    Bruno, Greenwood, Benrahma, Barnes
    Kane(c), Antonio, Ings

    Steele, Veltman, Brownhill, Tsimikas
    Bank 0.3m, 1FT

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

      Take the hit son

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’ve no problem with the hit this week, but I’d have to take another hit for Salah next week (losing Jota/Trent as 3 LIV) which seems a bit silly.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Toying with that move for -8, but already have Salah

  19. George James
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best one?

    A) Salah / Ings

    B) Jota / Lukaku -4

    C) Jota / Ronaldo -4

    1. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If Ronaldo starts. C

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

      B

  20. The Desi Messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best fodder option for the next 4-5 weeks?
    a) Williams
    b) Livramento

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

      B

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      b) will put some points on the board soon and I'm confident on that.
      Wouldn't surprise me against a leaky Spam.

    3. OptimusBlack

  21. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno + Ronaldo double up is crazy? Have Son and can trade hin rather than Bruno for CR

    1. TochanMama
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar dilemma.

      I'm contemplating getting Ronaldo for my Ings and maybe Fornals/Odegaard for Son.
      But I'm not sure how long Son is out, kinda everything depends on that.

  22. Life_Ban
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why is there no Hot Topic on Mendy?

    He will probably be walking funny in the near future...

    Bring him into your team at your own risk!

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Appropriate name is appropriate

  23. Men in green tights
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone think Arsenal might click this weekend and score a few goals or crumble as normal for this season.
    As I think they could score a few , question is who to put in my team if anyone .

  24. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So cr7 chance of starting now less guys?

  25. Winning11
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Bruno/Ings > Ronaldo/Greewood(or Jota?) and play Toney
    B) Bruno/Ings/Toney > Ronaldo/DCL/Sarr -4

    My plan is a GW7 wildcard so am only looking at the nxt 3 games.

  26. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling, Livramento, Tsimikas
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Raphinia, Gilmour
    Ings, Antonio, 4.5

    2 FT 0.5 ITB

    A) Tsimikas + Bruno + Ings > White + Jota + Ronaldo (-4)
    B) Son + 4.5 > Traore + DCL
    C) Son + Ings > Traore + Ronaldo
    D) Tsimikas + Son + Ings > Coady + Jota + DCL (-4)

    1. The Point About It Is
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tough decision.....I am thinking D

      1. Super John McGinn-
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I’m currently thinking that Son’s injury has made it hard especially with Raphinia not playing

    Guys any idea what's happening with Son?

    Thinking of getting him off for Fornals/Odegaard and getting Ronaldo for Ings

    1. The Point About It Is
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      looks out this GW...Nuno Espirito Santo: "Sonny is not so well. I don't know [if it's serious]. Let's wait and see. The doctors will make the analysis."
