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.

      Good enough

  5. La vida FPL

    Torres > Benhrama/Sarr for free?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, Sarr

  6. wulfrunian

    Best pick?
    a)Castagne
    b)Keane
    c)Andersen

      Keane

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

        cheers

  7. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start one out of these:

    A) James (MCI)
    B) Marcal (sou)
    C) Sissoko

    Chelsea's 5 defenders who started against Spurs were all rested for EFL Cup so I'm not confident at all James starts against City.

    Have Semedo so not sure about starting double Wolves def after last week.

    Sissoko a good option against a leaky Newcastle def?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      James, no point over thinking it

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I guess he has the highest ceiling if he starts. Marcal or Sissoko first on bench?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Marcal I reckon

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

      Wondering the same about sissoko as I might need him off the bench

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

      Start James with Marcal first on bench. Suppose if James doesn't start, he is unlikely to be subbed on.

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

    First on bench:

    A. White (TOT)

    B. Sissoko (NEW)

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      b

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

      A, Cleany for White more likely than a Sissoko attacking return.

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

    What to do with Torres? Sell or bench and roll FT?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sell if you are benching

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

        Would you rather start him? Do you think he plays this week?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Keep playing him till he is benched

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

      I’m holding for the GW8-10 run

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

      Knew what I was getting myself into when I bought him so will just bite the bullet & expecting 3 out of 5 starts

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

        Fair enough, I also knew the risks of getting him. Now thinking the way City performed against Soton, it won't be a surprise to see him start. Jesus upfront wasn't that good.

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

    Isn't it likely that Alonso starts vs Juventus and then gets benched for Chilwell vs Southampton?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Beyond my pay grade

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably

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

      ideally alonso sticks to PL games but it's hard to predict with pep 2.0

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

      Possible, yeah.

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

      I would expect that yes

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

      pretty much yeah

  11. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start Semedo (sou) or Livramento (WOL)?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leaning to Livra

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

      I'm starting Semedo, but only just. Similar chances of a CS but I think Semedo's chances of an attacking return are slightly higher.

  12. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Chances of Tsimikas starting

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

      Slim-ikas

      Start him and leave selection to Rafa

      1. Lord of Ings

        I’ll have Brando coming on then..

    2. Tcheco
      • 6 Years

      I think he makes it. Willing to take the risk with that juicy fixture then shipping out to Rudi

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

    A)Play Torres or gilmour?
    B)Torres—>gray(-4)?
    Leaning towards just playing ferran.

      The god. Picked him in nitial squad and benched him for first week when they won 0-5 and he scored twice. Didn't make the same mistake for the second week.

      1. Hooky
        • 8 Years

        Same here. QPR away wasn't it?

    Bachmann Foster
    Tsimi Shaw White Reg Omo
    Benrahma Salah Bruno Traore Gilmour
    Ron Toney Bamford

  19. ebb2sparky

    For one week only who would you prefer, Gray or Townsend?

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

      Either or, perhaps Gray will work best.

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

      Townsend - Norwich left hand side is v weak.

      1. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes that was my thinking although I might just play safe with gray given he's in my rivals team.

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

    Would you bench Jota, Benrahma or Raphinha?

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

      Raphinha

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

      None of them? Raph if forced to.

      1. AC/DC AFC

        Thanks.

        That was my thinking...

        Benrahma ahead of Raph and Jota to play.

        I'm in good shape fitness wise.

      You poor soul with Meslier...

      WC still in hand I hope...

        He’ll make plenty of saves

          Won't really matter if Antonio scores a hat-trick 😛

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

            unless he saves a penalty 😉

      Meslier will do ok on the next 5

    Planning to WC in GW8, any suggestions?

    A) Toney > ASM/someone else
    B) Raphinha > Sarr
    C) Greenwood > Sarr

      • 6 Years

      In your case, Raph to Sarr

    I'm stuck for this game week, I'm not sure what to do. I have 1 FT that I want to use since I'm thinking of wildcarding next week to bring in 3 Chelsea players. $0.2 in the bank

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Digne, Coufal
    Salah, Jota, Raph, Greenwood
    Ronaldo, Antonio

    Foster, Dennis, Bissouma, Amartey

    1. karno123
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Should I sell Amartey and get Livramento, and bench boost for this week? Hoping that Raph, Foster, Bissouma and Digne start

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

      Raph to sarr or alyounoussi

      1. karno123
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I was thinking of that, but shouldn't I start Dennis?

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

          But will he start? Plus chances are foster wont, raph is defo out so BB doesn’t look like a success

          1. karno123
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            You don't think Dennis will start, he scored last week?

    Morning all
    Advice appreciated please

    Bamford ➡️ Antonio -4
    Or
    Play 1 of hwang /white /Duffy(have Sanchez)

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

      I take that hit. Antonio could repay it instantly and with interest.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hammer time

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers both leaning that way although I’ve already taken a hit but Antonio would be a long term move.

      1. Chrisitis
        • 12 Years

          2 years, 6 months ago

  29. JBG

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should I start Raphinha and Pukki as 1st sub? Or just start Pukki over Raphinha?

      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1. JBG
