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.

      Hard to answer properly without seeing the rest of your squad. But I don't think Toney should go anywhere.

    Bottomed. Top 2k, been playing very conservatively, still no hits, and done a similar move this week. Raph to Benrahma and benching Bamford as hate the alternative options, means starting White against Spurs. Thoughts?

    Sanchez
    TAA | Shaw | Livramento | White
    Salah | Greenwood | Sarr | Benrahma
    Ronaldo (c) | Antonio

    Steele | Veltman | Gilmour | Bamford

      Nothing wrong with it, template for this week I would expect which is nice

    2. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team. Are you going inline to rotate Ronaldo and lukaku?

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

        I'm still deciding on whether I shift Ronaldo or get both given the value in budget midfield.

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

      Same as my starting 11 apart from White to my Torres. Hope you smash it 😆

    4. Jonesfromthere

      Cheers guys!

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I’d like to get asm or Armstrong for bam and then a premium defender with the change next week but this means jota could be stinking out my team for another 3 game weeks yet which is hardly ideal

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

      You can always take a hit.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cough cough ...take a hit ...cough cough.

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

      -4 is not a big deal if it allows to get an ideal team

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

      Will take a hit when it becomes a real problem, but in the same boat. Have Greenwood too.

      Too much planning and of course will change, but looks nice:

      GW6 Bamford -> Armstrong
      GW7 Ayling -> Chelsea Defender
      GW8 Ronaldo -> Lukaku
      GW9 Coady -> Dias/Cancelo

  7. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hopefully by this time next week, all people consider getting iheanacho.

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

    Safe to save?

    Sánchez (Steele)
    Alexander-Arnold Rüdiger Tierney (Livramento Williams)
    Salah Jota Sarr Gray Gallagher
    Ronaldo Lukaku (Scarlett)

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

      I see plenty of work with 2FT next GW, especially if Jota doesn't explode.

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

      Yeah very nice team this GW

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

        Cheers mate!

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

    I have Ayling, Raphinha and Bamford all injured or doubts. No Ronaldo, Lukaku or Antonio. Time to WC?

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

      Think so. But would like to see your team first. -4 or -8 could do the trick.

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

        Foster
        TAA Shaw Veltman
        Salah Bruno Jota Raphinha* Benrahma
        Jimenez Bamford*

        Bachmann*; Livramento, Ayling*, Scarlett

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

          I think with a -4 of Bamford to Antonio and Raphinia to someone (Sarr, Traore etc) you can generally fix it.

          Still think you could wildcard though to restructure and get the premium forward in. Overall team is decent though so don't think you have to.

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

      Not a fan of forced WC, but think your team warrants it.

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

      I’d be tempted to yes. Already got some Chelsea for the fixture swing? Otherwise you could include them on WC

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

        Nah I have 0 Chelsea. I'm extremely tempted by the gw8 wildcard for City, Chelsea and even southampton fixture swing. Also that would be after the international break which is an extra plus.

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would just sell bamford to Antonio and take a hit and sell one of the other two over a rushed WC

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

    Think I’m safe to save this GW and move to GW7 with 2FTs, best of luck everyone

    Sanchez
    TAA James Livramento
    Salah Benrahma Sarr Doucoure
    Ronaldo(c) Lukaku Antonio

    Steele Sissoko Tsimikas Ayling 1FT 0.1 ITB

    Thought about doing Sanchez to Ramsdale or even Ayling to White but prob best to have 2 FTs to potentially get in Rudiger or Gallagher for Doucoure

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

      That's an easy save. What is you team value btw?

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

        Cheers 102 on the dot

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

          That's big. No way I could have that team with my 101 tv. 😀

  11. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What change is next week?

  12. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Was all set on Ronaldo but with Bamford out I'm incredibly tempted to -4 to Antonio and captain him. Are Villa even a fraction as poor as Leeds defensively? Villa can sit back but this Leeds side will go toe-to-toe regardless of the circumstances. Hmmmm

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

      Same. Was planning to get Ronaldo but Bamford injury screws that plan unless I'm willing to take hits. I really think Villa can give ManU a hard time where as Leeds are battered with injuries. Antonio seems a good captain choice imo but also considering Salah.

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think MUFC and Pool will win but both Villa and Brentford will be more difficult to break down than Leeds. That said, I'm not really in a position to take chances so I should play it safe lol

  13. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What is the latest news on raphinha?
    Is he definitely out?

  14. 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.

  15. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do Everton have any forwards with DCL and Richarlison both out?

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

      Rondon

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

      They played Rondon and Gray up top in a 4-4-2 last week I think

    3. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      The battering ram

  16. Mcgugan
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I'm really confused what to do about Bamford. Already have 3 Wolves (and other strikers are Antonio and Ronaldo). 0.3m ITB.

    Options:

    1. Roll the transfer, play Livramento this week then review with the 2FT next week
    2. Bamford to anyone 8m or below - (probably King or ASM?)
    3. TAA > 4m (who won't play, I have Williams) and Bamford to Lukaku

    Any other options i'd love to hear them!

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

      1 or 2 if you have a decent bench then just roll

      3 seems like a terrible plan

    2. puhd
      • 9 Years

      No

    2. puhd

      Definite no

  24. Gunners in Haaland

    How's it looking?

    Sánchez
    TAA Rüdiger Cancelo
    Salah Gallagher Townsend Kovacic
    Lukaku Antonio Ronaldo

    Steele Sissoko Livra Williams

    1. ElliotJHP

      Really don't like Kova as an option

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

        Hey not? Cheap, nailed and might return

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

          Why not?

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

          He's got 1 goal and 6 assists in three years before this season.

          He is looking better all round, but his role hasn't changed enough to suggest anything more than 3 points on a weekly basis

    2. Diamondgeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Drop Kovacic for another Chelsea defender and you will get a lot more points.

    Tsimikas (BRE away)
    Marcal (SOU away)

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years

      Marcal just edges White for me for attacking threat

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

        Can't have much attacking threat when he's benched. 😕

  26. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who has to go first? Jota or Traore?

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

      Neither

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Traore. Jota could always haul. Traore rarely.

  27. Pirlø's Pen

      Just sell Bamford. I think Torres will starts and Raphinha has a chance. The team is in no way a mess.

      Can't go much wrong with either option there, coin toss.
