Fantasy Bundesliga

The best Fantasy Bundesliga players for Matchday 6

The Bundesliga is back for its sixth Matchday of the 2021/22 season. We are going to present you with the best Fantasy Bundesliga players for Matchday 6!

Bayern visit the other newly promoted side, Greuther Fürth, after battering VfL Bochum 7-0 last time out. There’s also a big clash between Borussia Dortmund and a hapless Borussia Mönchengladbach, while RB Leipzig visit Hertha Berlin.

For those playing the Fantasy Bundesliga game, this weekly piece selects whar we think are the best players for the forthcoming Matchday.

There’s a lack of quality budget options in the game at the moment, which means there’s no room for some big names like Leroy Sane and Filip Kostic.

GOALKEEPERS

Mark Flekken (6.6m), Philip Pentke (1.0m)

Freiburg are still unbeaten so far this season and should have enough quality to overcome an Augsburg side who’ve frustrated teams in their last two games. Mark Flekken has 19 saves and Freiburg have two clean sheets from their last five matches, whilst Augsburg have only scored twice in the league this season.

Philip Pentke is in as the 1.0m sub keeper once again.

DEFENDERS

Kevin Mbabu (11.2m), Raphael Guerreiro (14.8m), Nico Giesselman (4.2m), Alphonso Davies (14.0m), Christian Günter (11.7m)

Kevin Mbabu is the joint highest-scoring defender in the game and managed 17 points last time out despite not registering a goal, assist or clean sheet. In fact, he’s got to his position as the highest-scoring defender without a goal or an assist all season and has only collected two clean sheets. Mbabu managed six points for passes to a shot plus six points for duels won in the draw against Frankfurt, and Wolfsburg’s upcoming visit to a Hoffenheim side without a goal in their last two games is a good place to continue his great form.

Nico Giesselmann is the other highest-scoring defender in the game but costs 7.0m less than Mbabu. The Union Berlin wing-back has been a revelation so far this season, with two goals and an assist in his last four games. He has also collected a 17-point haul without a goal, assist or clean sheet and now faces a winless Arminia Bielefeld side. For his price, Giesselmann is as close to essential as it comes.

Raphael Guerreiro has three successive double-digit returns and has scored in his last two outings for Dortmund. He’s on a lot of set pieces and has great attacking threat, while Dortmund face a Gladbach side who lost 4-0 to Bayer Leverkusen and really can’t seem to get it right at either end under Adi Hütter.

Alphonso Davies disappointed owners after being replaced at half-time against Bochum but should be fresh to wreak havoc on bottom-placed Fürth on Friday evening. The Canadian has been brilliant under Julian Nagelsmann, with three double-digit hauls and two assists. Although expensive, he is perhaps the best defensive captaincy option this week.

Christian Günter is another defender with a trio of consecutive double-digit hauls and hosts an Augsburg side who’ve only scored twice in 2021/22. He’s Freiburg’s main creator and regularly picks up points for won duels.

MIDFIELDERS

Florian Wirtz (11.6m), Joshua Kimmich (16.3m), Christopher Nkunku (14.5m), Wooyeong Jeong (4.5m), Gerrit Holtmann (5.2m)

Florian Wirtz is in quite ridiculous form. He’s registered a goal and an assist in each of his last three league games – his only starts in the Bundesliga this season. Although Bayer have tough opposition in high-flying Mainz, you can’t ignore a player like Wirtz when he’s in this sort of form.

If only Leroy Sane was a midfielder. Joshua Kimmich got his first Bundesliga brace against Bochum and was all over the pitch for them, as well as on a lot of set-pieces. He has 34 points in his last two games and is the game’s highest-scoring midfielder. Fürth are rooted to the bottom of the table and have the joint-worst defence in the league too.

Leipzig face a Hertha Berlin side who have managed to beat both promoted teams over their last two games but shouldn’t be a match for Jesse Marsch’s men. Whilst Leipzig have underperformed so far this season, Christopher Nkunku has recorded 15 and 12 points in their easier games against Stuttgart and Köln, with six points for goal attempts in both games. He’s high on confidence after his Champions League hat-trick and this is a great opportunity for him to get a huge Bundesliga haul.

Wooyeong Jeong missed out for Freiburg last weekend but should return ahead of their game against Augsburg. If he starts, he’s the best option at his price point. Amongst a very poor-quality batch of budget midfielders, Jeong has the virtue of playing out-of-position in a solid side.

Gerrit Holtmann provides Bochum’s best attacking hope after Simon Zoller’s (£7.5m) ACL injury. Although a pretty poor finisher, Holtmann’s dribbling and speed help him get into great attacking positions, and he’s got a chance of a good score against a Stuttgart side without a win since the opening day of the season.

FORWARDS

Erling Haaland (17.8m), Robert Lewandowski (18.1m), Omar Marmoush (3.5m)

Do Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski need an explanation at this point? They both have seven Bundesliga goals in five games, lead the league in shots and play for the two strongest teams. Lewandowski disappointed owners by only scoring once against Bochum, but will have plenty of opportunities to make up for it against Fürth. Haaland is in scarily good form and is up against a Gladbach side who’ve been terrible at the back.

Omar Marmoush is currently the best budget forward option and has been great since his late move to Stuttgart. He scored against Frankfurt and has 23 points from two games. A Bochum side who’ve just lost 7-0 will provide a great opportunity for Marmoush to continue his good start for Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men.

    Thanks FFFrog, always a great read, got most of those players mentioned plus another two Bayern for tonight's match. Managed to squeeze in Modeste up top, he's on good form.

    1. King Kun Ta

      2 years, 6 months ago

      Guess so….Jimi hasn’t been last seasons Jimi as well

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hope he doesn't become last season's Jimi, but I get what you mean.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What would you WC to?

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Mainly to get in Ronaldo and sell my Leeds boys + maybe Jimenez. Would much rather save the wc for gw8 though when SOU and MCI fixtures turn together with Chelsea

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

    Is Veltman now nailed for Brighton

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think he is, yes. For the next few games atleast.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't be too confident, hasn't been great so far and Lamptey is back now

  9. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Rom -> Antonio (-4) only for this GW?

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

      Just save your and our time and delete your team.

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Bad morning?

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

          Ridiculous question in morning.

          -4 points to get Antonio in for a player everyone wants from next week.

          You’re not going to do it, so your just asking anything.

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

            Sorry, didn’t mean to come across as rude. Bad morning indeed.

      2. Salan
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agree on your comments.

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

      yeah nah

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not the worst idea looking to bring in the GOAT against a depleted Leeds, but not at the expense of Lukaku. And especially not for a -4.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This is GW6 not 38. Hold your fire

  10. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Correct order?

    Semedo
    White
    Livramento

    Thanks

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra over white

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

      Livra over Semedo imo

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra over them both, ignore his price

  11. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Begovic
    TAA Reguilon Tierney
    Salah Bruno Jota Raphinha* Benrahma
    Antonio BAMFORD*

    Sanchez Cash Ayling* Perica*

    1FT, 0m ITB
    What to do? Worst time for WC...
    Bamford to ASM?
    Or two transfers (-4)?

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

      Raphinha to Sarr

    2. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar team and position to me and I’m going bam to ASM

    3. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's pretty much me. Would love to get CR7 but so many injuries and I can't justify the -8 to get him. I have Jimenez over Antonio so I'm thinking just Bam to Antonio

  12. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which is a better move? Planning to WC before GW8. 1.0 ITB.

    A. Grealish + Maddison -> Son + Gray (-4)
    B. Maddison -> Jota

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Shaw Ayling White Livramento
    Salah Grealish Maddison Sarr Brownhill
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison => Gray

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

      Maddison to Sarr

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He’s already got Sarr

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hello folks. How would you line up this starting XI ?

    Sanchez
    Shaw, Reguillon, Coufal, Semedo, Livramento
    Bruno, Jota, Benrahma
    Ronaldo, Antonio

    Steele, Raphina, Dcl, Bissouma 0ft 1.9itb

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

      Raphinha to Sarr

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        For a hit? I think he will play, he has not been ruled out.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Start Raph over Regs just in case

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        My thinking too just not sure for who. He will either play or not at all surely?

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          *start

        2. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yep that's the thinking

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Start Raphina if you are going to keep him

  14. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Repost. Bench 1 please:

    A. Shaw (AVL)
    B. Coufal (lee)
    C. Livra (WOL)
    D. Duffy (cry)

    Currently thinking A

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C or D for me

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C or D I think, probably C

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah C is the most sensible

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah C as Duffy has such attacking threat

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah and it's a fierce derby. Thanks all

  15. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What do you think about Adam Armstrong as an option?

    Focal point of Saints' attack but not on pens because of JWP. Man shoots a lot. I haven't seen their full matches, only extended highlights, but he looked dangerous. Wolves aren't the best defensively but Chelsea are ... so maybe he should stay on the watchlist for now?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Unlucky not to score FPL points for us. Might get him in GW8

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yh looking at him for gw8

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I really like him as an option, I’ve heard he’s looked better than Che Adams so think his spot should be safer if Broja comes knocking. Can’t afford JWP, and think a Southampton player should be nice to have with their upcoming fixtures. Also keeping an eye on Elyounoussi for .5 less but if I can afford Armstrong over Dennis in my WC I’ll go for him

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

      Flying way under the radar & too cheap at 6.0 - will be 7.0/7.5 next year in all likelihood

      Would expect him to comfortably get 12-15 goals & 3-5 assists which should have him in the 140-160 range if he gets 70 appearance points

      Super run of fixtures too - think he will be in a lot more teams as the weeks roll by

  16. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any word on digne? Likely to play?

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone?

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's still rubbish

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Couldn’t agree more but will he play this week?

  17. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which would you have?

    1) Salah (c), ASM, Bruno
    Lukaku for GW7

    2) Salah, CR7 (c), Benrahma
    Lukaku for GW8/9

    With Bam injury, thinking about going for Ronaldo - option 2), until GW9 - switch to Kaku.

    Thoughts ?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep 2. Same here only Antonio C this week.

      Ron to Rom probably in gw9

  18. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sell Bamford or Raphinha? Will Raphinha play?

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sell Bamford keep raph

  19. FPL Brains

    If, hypothetically you were triggering your wildcard, what's your team going to be?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Spoonfeeding?

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If you took the time to check, you'd understand that I don't need spoonfeeding.

        Was interested in seeing if my early trigger has got close to what people would do at this point.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trent, double Chelsea defence, Dias
      Salah
      Lukaku

      Fill in the gaps

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      something like premium defense, cheap mids and expensive frontlines

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Build around Livra and AA

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

      Ramsdale
      TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger/James
      Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Sarr/Gallagher/Traore/Soucek/Gray/Harrison etc
      Ronaldo, Antonio, Armstrong/Toney/ASM/Dennis/Welbz/Pukki/Maupay etc
      (Sanchez, White, Livramento, McArthur)

      Ronaldo > Kaku for good fixtures & buy yourself an ice cream with the 1.0 change 🙂

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha if only 99p flakes were still 0.99

  20. kobewan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you WC this team?

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Shaw Livra Coady White
    Salah Bruno Ben Rap Jota
    Bamford Antonio Scarlett

    1FT left, I want to get Ronaldo but don't have enough cash for a straight swap for Bamford,
    I have to take a hit to get Ronaldo my plan is

    Bamford, Bruno > Ronaldo, Sarr

    would you do it for a hit or use WC instead upgrade other areas, Original plan was WC gw7 or 8 where I can get Chelsea and City player on good Fixtures

  21. Irish Villan 1985
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Really tempted to captain Antonio this weekend - Is that crazy given Liverpool and United fixtures?

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No, his fixture is the best

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not at all, I'm going for it

    4. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Could work in your favour against a weakened Leeds

    5. kobewan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

    What do you make of Bielsa's comment on Raphinha? I have not followed their press conferences closely. Is he a Manager who likes surprises? Or does he mean what he says?

    Bielsa on Ayling/Raphinha/Harrison: "They are subject to their evolution on whether that will allow them to participate. If I said that they would definitely play or they weren't going to play, neither of those things are certain."

      They're pretty irrelevant imo - there's nothing to really do differently unless he categorially says Raphinha is out long term

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's a very straight forward guy, based on last season.

      If I own raph, I'd still start him just in case

    Which is the most popular plan for gw8 at the moment?

    A. Ronaldo Lukaku 4.5
    B. Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio
    C. Lukaku with no Ronaldo

    Guaita
    Dias TAA Shaw
    Raphina* Salah Sarr Benrahma Normann
    Ronaldo Antonio

    Steele Duffy Williams Bamford*

    Allready used my FT on a stupid GK transfer before the Leeds presser. Currently 65k OR and WC played. Do i need to take any hits this GW, or just play Raphina and Normann with Duffy and Williams on the bench?
