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.

    B. Veltman (A vs BRE)

    1. Wılly
      • 10 Years

      Same boat, playing Duffy over Livramento.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      noice

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Obviously missing Trent but good team without him

  6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku(c) for sure

  7. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard sorted…. I think. 🙂

    Sa
    TAA / Cresswell / Tierney
    Salah / Torres / Raphinha / Adama
    Ronaldo / Antonio / Bamford

    Steele / Allan / Livra / Williams

    1. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is Raphina going to play?

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I hope so.

        I was thinking of maybe a punt on someone for this week.

        1. EL tridente
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe Sarr. See mine below. Will 100% get Raph next week

          1. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I don’t know about Sarr when I have Sá. 🙂

            I’m tempted by Dele and then switch to Raph next week.

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

      Hammers euro matches may stretch them. I'm losing coufal after this week. I like the rest of the team. Good luck.

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks

  8. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How is this Wild Card looking?
    Sanchez, (Steele)
    TAA, Digne, White, (Ayling), (Williams)
    Salah, Jota, Greenwood, Sarr, (Allan)
    Lukaku, DCL, Antonio

    1. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would stay away from Arsenal personally, would rather get Wolves defender for their fixtures. Rest is fine.

  9. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any Fanteam players here? Do any of you ever take hits?

    Am tempted to do a few -4 this week.

  10. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Final WC puzzle:

    A - Coady and White or Semedo and Williams?

    B - Captain Salah, Ronaldo or Lukaku?

    1. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A - Semedo and Williams if Williams is mostly on the bench

      B - Im on Salah, but might go for CR7

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you've bought into Ronaldo you have to (c) him surely?

  11. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best defender for 4.1 or less.. amartey or will he be dropped soon?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livramento, for me

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is Liv nailed?

        1. The Mighty Whites
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Looks to be

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

      Leaked Leicester lineup doesn't have him starting

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah looks trustworthy.

        2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          No goalkeeper v city is pure suicide

      1. OneArseneWenger32
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        makes sense to me!

  12. frenchfries
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    B

  13. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Never thought I would see the day when I was looking forward to a tennis match more than my WC team debut 😯

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

      Is it on Saturday or Sunday?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sat 9pm

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

          I'm not a big tennis fan but I will tune in for that fairytale ending

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            As both were unseeded, you are guaranteed that 🙂

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

              We have a similar success story here with Leona Maguire

              1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                She was a machine. Phenomenal play

    2. FredrikH
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Oooff.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m not even a big tennis fan, but it’s an amazing story. Her opponent’s story would also have been amazing v anyone else.

    4. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very cool how she’s doing though huh?

    5. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Radu(c)anu

    6. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I agree. I am a huge tennis fan so would be hyped anyway, but irrespective of the Sport this is one of the biggest stories in GB sport for decades IMO

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Who do you prefer out of:

        1. Dusty Boyer
        2. Pavel Motl
        3. Pol Toledo-Bague
        4. Marc Polmans

    7. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Before the tournament the odds of both reaching the final was bigger than Leicester's odds to win the league in whatever season it was they won the league

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

    Thoughts on Antonio captain?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Player of the month...

      Try someone else?!

  15. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    no love for a Bruno and Ronaldo double up with Salah (c)?

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

      I'm tempted would mean losing Greenwood though

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        tough ask on that. My choice is made for me with Son out.

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

      too expensive, will be a really unbalanced team

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        i'm looking at:
        Sanchez
        TAA Liv Shaw
        Mcarthur Bruno Barnes Salah Trinc
        Ron Antonio

        trying to hold wildcard through to gw7

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I Probably have Shaw, Ronaldo, Bruno this week but not for long

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        i'm similar. May lose Bruno in a few weeks to fund Lukaku or Kane, or will w/c

  16. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Got it down to 2 Wildcard choices, I prefer the 3 big hitter one but I know many on here won’t. What do you reckon?

    A)
    Sanchez • Steer
    Trent • White • Coady • Livramento • Williams
    Salah • Sarr • Gray • Torres • Gilmour
    Lukaku • Ronaldo • Antonio

    B) Sa • Foster
    Trent • Rudiger • Shaw • Livramento • Williams
    Salah • Sarr • Gray • Jota • Gilmour
    DCL • Ronaldo • Antonio

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not that we against 3 big hitters, but the overall team looks ugly tbh.

      I would like A but only for short term. B is the way to go

    2. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  17. DD DUBAI
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry late to the party!

    Will Jiminez and DCL start this weekend ?

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

      I believe so and Lage thinks he will be available. Everton match Monday certainly helps DCL's recovery

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

      I believe they both will

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimi yes ; DCL likely

  18. OLEgend
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which one to bench from these three, Barnes/White/Coady?

    1. The Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Coady. Watford’s not a bad fixture, but it’s an away game and they could easy score.

  19. The Invincibles
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What are Son owners doing? I was planning on getting Jota and Ronaldo for Fernandes and Ings, but it’s looking like Son isn’t gonna start. Am now thinking of Jota and DCL in for Son and Ings, what do people think?

    Sanchez.
    TAA, Shaw, White, Livramento.
    Salah, Son, Fernandes, Benrahma.
    Ings, Antonio.

    (Foster, Romeu, Amartey, Obafemi).

    1m ITB. 1FT.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Got rid for gray and used money for toney>lukaku

    2. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Can't decide on Raphinha, Traore or Torres as a replacement.

  20. 0james0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    TAA and probably Allan,
    Or stick with Ayling and Jota.

    Ayling and Jota makes more sense, would just like to stick in trent and leave him there for the season.

    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have 2fts. Thinking Son + ASM > Jota + DCL but to be honest really not sure what to do...

    My team at the moment is:

    Bachmann
    Shaw - Coufal - Cancelo
    Greenwood - Son - Salah - Grealish - Saka
    Antonio - Toney

    subs: Martinez - ASM - Tsimikas - Veltman

  27. L S P

    A) Bruno/Ings->Ronaldo(C)/Jota with 2 FT
    B) Ings/Coufal->DCL/Marcal with 2 FT
    C) Ings->Jimi, roll the other FT

    (not enough cash to do Ings->DCL)

    Cheers

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  28. Doctor Evil

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else going to Captain Lukaku?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If I get him over Ronaldo, yes. I may get Lukaku & Robbo over Shaw & Ronaldo.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I want him as Capt, but I don’t want him in my team until gw7

    4. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Salah just now

      Maybe Ron though

  29. Tabes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Rate my WC please:

    Sanchez
    TAA Alonso Wan-Bissaka
    Mount Torres Jota Traore
    DCL Ronaldo Antonio

    Steele Cresswell Marçal Gilmour

    Any changes?

    Thanks

    1. Tinfoil Deathstar
      • 3 Years
