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.

    Anyone got a strong preference or read on Pukki vs Armstrong vs ASM?

    Need to downgrade Bamford to get in double chels def next week

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

      ASM 100%

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

        1.46 xg for Armstrong vs 0.83xg for ASM, what gives you that 100% confidence? I am not doubting it, just interested.

        Those Soton fixtures look better than Newcastle

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

          I just think he's a better player that the others and that Newcastle will rely heavily on him to provide goals.

          Personally I wouldn't pick any of the 3.

    2. Aussie Rules
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I got ASM in this week

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you've already played the WC - then Armstrong. If not and will play it in 8 - then take a punt on ASM

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

        I still have WC but will hold it a bit longer so leaning towards Armstrong

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Fair play. Armstrong is the better long-term option definitely

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

      I've gone Pukki as he is around 1m cheaper (something like that).

      Norwich fixtures are great, and if they do actually score it's likely him.

      ASM more likely to haul though. Armstrong I've stayed away from (not really sure why)

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

        there is 0.1 between Armstrong vs Pukki. I like Pukki being on pens

  2. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Where does Leeds usually post their training photos?

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

    Raph or Torre to Sarr?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raphina

  4. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Already doing the Bamford to ASM/Jimenez move this week.

    Do Raphina to Grey/Sarr as well for a -4?

    Will WC in 8.

    1. Aussie Rules
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who your bench cover is I think

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sissoko + B.Williams

        So not great

        1. Aussie Rules
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Sissoko also my cover for him and I’m holding

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

      Not for a hit I don't think. Leeds have some nice fixtures coming up

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

      I like Doucoure over Gray this week. Reckon he could make the team of the week.

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Grey playing up top though. Like Doucure as well, but not sure he outscores Grey this week.

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

          Benitez is buying him a present once he gets 5 goals apparently..

          He also has 4 bps and hauls in both previous home fixtures.

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Haha, didn't know the story about the present - I like it!

  5. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What to do here? 1FT, £0.9m ITB. WC still intact.

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, White, Livramento, Amartey
    Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Benrahma, Bissouma
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Bamford

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much identical team to mine.

      See my considerations on the post above. Sell Bam, and maybe Raph.

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

    Not entirely sure what to do here, I've currently got Bamford benched as I've already made my transfer (in hindsight not a great move but hey).. Am I G2G for this week? Or do I need to take a hit to move Bamford on, 0.8m in the bank.

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Livra
    Salah (c) - Jota - Torres - Gray - Sissoko
    Antonio - Cr7

    Bench: Steele - Marcal - Williams - Bamford

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

      Think you're good

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Defo GTG

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

    Best mid for next few?

    Have Sarr already, mostly thinking Benrahma?

    Or maybe some Arsenal mid, Gray, Gallagher?

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

      Gray possibly.

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

      Gallagher or Doucoure

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

      Just Eve has some hospital currently and the fixtures mun-WHU aint screaming to me.

    4. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gray I think

  8. CAPA
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who’s best to bench this week from
    A pukki
    B livramento
    C seceding
    Help appreciated
    Thanks

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

      * c semedo

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

    Why are people selling Raphinha and for hits? I don't get it. We were in a similar position last week, Raph was a doubt and he started, played 67 mins and came off in what looked like a scheduled outing to manage his injury.

    Bielsa didn't rule Raph out, he didn't get a new injury from the last game either. All signs point to him starting this week albeit with potentially managed minutes.

    He has a good run of fixtures, he scored last week and looked good. Keep.

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

      Don't get that one too.

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trying to maximise gains before WC in 8 and dead-ending the team. Some good midfield options for the next 2 GWks. Not sure if Raph will play - can see him coming off the bench in the 60th min.

      Not sold on selling Raph for a hit btw, just weighing up options.

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

        I guess if you don't think he starts. But I think they'll fight as hard as possible for him to start with Bamford out. If he starts and looks good again the next fixture is WAT. Just seems to me an inability to look further than one game out at a time.

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Had I played my WC already, I would definitely hold. The fact that I can get him back in 8 (potentially .1 cheaper as well) makes me wonder.

          Will most likely hold since I already took a hit last week and usually try to avoid taking hits so close to WC time. As I say - just considering options.

    3. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I got rid. He is a 50/50 regardless of last week's start, don't think he is a certain starter. Plus with half the team out, his attacking output may get affected.

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

        I guess if you have 0 other fires he could be worth the FT but certainly not for a hit and if you have a decent bench I'd use it as cover and roll FT instead.

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

    Bamford > Vardy for -4?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What are the other 2 players involved in the -4?

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

        I’ve already done Ings / Bruno > Sarr / Ron (2 ft’s)

  11. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Whom would you bench

    Livramento (plays WOL)
    Marcal (plays SOU)
    James (plays MCI)
    Rudiger (plays MCI)

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

      Marcal

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Marcal

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

      It think you play James and Livra for sure. I'd punt on Marcel and not have double Chelsea v City and I don't expect Rudiger to score again. I completely get why people would say bench Marcel though as Wolves are conceding and he is a rotation risk.

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I was thinking the same. However, not sure if James starts either - so could be a 1 pointer from him. Tough call.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Rotation risk from who?

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Heard suggestions that Marçal might be dropped for Ait Nouri after last performance

          1. G-Whizz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            He's injured...

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

      James or Marcal

  12. KingPulis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Need to bench one of these:

    A) Tierney
    B) Semedo
    C) Armstrong

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

      b

    2. Stormbringer22

      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

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

      either B or C.. depends on what you think about WOL..
      Semedo's underlaying stats are great tho

  13. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play two:
    A) Marcal
    B) Raphinha
    C) Livramento
    D) Coufal

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B+C and D first bench

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

      C and D

    3. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      AC

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

    Bit puzzled on the last defense spot for this week..
    Formation is 3-5-2 and definitely playing Shaw and TAA.

    Other defenders are James, White and Ayling (injury doubt)

    Who to play and who first on bench?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Play James and White first bench

    2. HD7
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would also play James and White first on bench

  15. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Save and just play Marcal
    B) Raph to Benrahma
    C) Raph to Gallagher

    Ramsdale
    Trent James Dias Livra
    Salah Raph* Gray Sarr
    Ronaldo Lukaku

    Steele Marcal Sissoko Scarlett

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

        A. May even stick with Raph in your starting lineup. If he doesn’t play Marcal will come from bench. There’s still a chance Raph plays

  16. Pachi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who to bench?

    A) livramento
    B) semedo
    C) white
    D) rudiger

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      B

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

  17. Budgies
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Struggling with a starting XL this week, any changes of team selction?

    Sanchez
    TAA, James, Rudiger
    Pogba, Jota, Benrahama, Gray
    Ronaldo (c), Lukaku, Antonio (v)

    Gunn, Sarr, Semedo, Livramento

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

      Sarr over Gray

      1. Budgies
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'm a Norwich fan and we look woeful.....i'm feeling good pts from Gray this week

  18. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start Duffy or livaremento? Already got sanchez in goal…

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

      Liv

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

    Sell Tsimikas or Omobamidele?

    1. Budgies
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Omobamidele, we are dreadful at the back. Didn't strengthen enough at the back for the season ahead. I would keep hold Tsimikas, although his game time will be minimal compared to Omobamidele, he will play at times i think - and likely pick up clean sheets when he does

  20. FreddyP3
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play Livramento vs Wolves or take a hit Bamford out for 8.2 attacker (Who?).

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio would be the only one maybe worth doing that. If you already have him then play Liv

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

      Liv

        Thanks guys

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

      Play Liv

  21. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    play traore or bring in zaha for a hit?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit, nice idea tho

  22. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Everybody selling Raphinha, you will need him back...
    Just keep, he's a great player with nice run of fixtures...

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

      same for Bamford?

  23. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Already have Antonio and Benrahma. Better to have Fornals or Gray as a 5-6m midfielder option?

    1. Dion D's Solo Shower

      I'd pick an Everton asset then.

    A) Raphinha --> Benrahma
    B) Raphinha --> Bowen
    C) Raphinha + Jimenez --> Sarr + Antonio (-4)

    Now Leeds have a weakling attack, start one:
    A) Coufal (lee)

      Maupay is a really interesting shout if you have WC remaining. Otherwise Armstrong imo
