Fantasy Bundesliga

The best Fantasy Bundesliga players for Matchday 33

There is two rounds left in this Bundesliga season and Eintracht Frankfurt have just made it into the Europa League final. As always, neither Robert Lewandowski nor Erling Haaland will be considered for this team.

SIGN UP TO FANTASY BUNDESLIGA AND PICK A TEAM HERE

Goalkeepers

Manuel Riemann (6.3m), Marcel Lotka (1.4m)

Throughout the last five games, no goalkeeper has averaged more points per game than Bochum’s Manuel Riemann. Having missed a penalty and grabbed an assist across this season, the fourth-highest scoring keeper in the game can certainly be a boom-or-bust pick. Opponents Arminia Bielefeld are on the brink of relegation.

The cheapest starting keeper in the game, Marcel Lotka has been solid since coming into the Hertha Berlin starting 11. They host Mainz on Saturday, knowing a win will secure their Bundesliga safety for another season.

Defenders

Benno Schmitz (4.7m), Christian Gunter (14.1m), Angelino (15.5m), Marvin Plattenhardt (6.1m), Alphonso Davies (14.8m)

This is a massive game for Cologne, where a win would give them pole position at playing European football next season and Wolfsburg have nothing to play for. Benno Schmitz has been a solid, creative Fantasy asset all season and just bagged 12 points and an assist in the 4-1 win in Augsburg.

The highest-scoring defender for the first half of this season, Christian Günter looks to be finishing the season as he started it. He has 44 points from his last three games, having produced a goal and assist in both of his last two games. Whilst Freiburg’s famed defensive solidity from earlier in the season seems to have disappeared, this is no bad thing for Günter, who is leading by example.

Whether through sheer exhaustion or just a naturally poor run of form, Leipzig have been struggling as of late and need to beat Augsburg on Sunday or risk falling outside of the European places. Angelino has not been at his best recently but we all know what he can do on his day. He really needs to show up on Matchday 33.

A coaching change looks to have kept Hertha up and has also done wonders for Marvin Plattenhardt. The German has three assists from four starts under Felix Magath, tallying 49 points in those games. Hertha are against a Mainz side that is winless on the road since the end of October.

It’s hard to work out what’s been going on at Bayern but Alphonso Davies is still the defender with the highest average points total this season (9.4 per game). Bayern has a home meeting with 16th-placed Stuttgart on Sunday, which should give Davies a chance to get back to scoring big points.

Midfielders

Patrick Wimmer (7.0m), Christopher Nkunku (19.7m), Vincenzo Grifo (17.4m), Jonas Hofmann (16.2m), Gerrit Holtmann (6.2m)

This is a must-win game for Bielefeld. Wolfsburg-bound Patrick Wimmer has been their star performer this season but needs to produce one more magic trick to give his side hope of staying up. They visit a Bochum side fresh from a massive Revierderby win but who have nothing left to play for.

Having lost to Rangers in midweek, Leipzig need to win to continue their hopes of playing Champions League football next season. Christopher Nkunku will be carrying those hopes on his back, like he has all season.

Although his 278 points are exactly 100 less than Nkunku’s 378, Vincenzo Grifo is the second highest-scoring midfielder this season. He’s fresh from back-to-back double-digit hauls and Freiburg are two games away from Champions League football.

Despite the issues Gladbach have had, Jonas Hofmann has had an extraordinary season. The Gladbach talisman scored twice and picked up 22 points in last week’s 3-1 win over Leipzig, and he has 13 double-digit hauls from just 22 starts.

I didn’t understand Gerrit Holtmann in last season’s 2. Bundesliga and definitely don’t understand him in this season’s Bundesliga. The man who couldn’t score to save his life has become a scorer of great goals and a star performer in big games. Five goals and four assists in the league is a solid return for the Filipino and Bochum will likely get chances against a Bielefeld side who need a win to stay up.

Forwards

Anthony Modeste (11.8m), Breel Embolo (13.4m), Marco Reus (17.5m)

Anthony Modeste is back in form and might just fire Cologne into Europe. Four goals and two assists in his last four games is impressive and he has is versus the inconsistent and on-the-beach Wolfsburg.

Gladbach are as inconsistent as ever but Breel Embolo looks to be hitting form. Three goals, one assist and Gladbach visit potentially tired Europa League finalists Frankfurt on Sunday.

Fürth have been relegated and therefore, like every relegated side, they won their first game immediately afterwards. It seems to have gone unnoticed that Marco Reus has had his best season in some time and also managed to stay fit. After five assists during his last four games, Reus should pick up some points against Fürth.

    What do you reckon...Werner to Richarlison worth a -4?

    1. European Bob
      • 11 Years

      No

        Ok, answer I wasn't looking for - but think you might be right 🙂

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years

      If you play him in both doubles, maybe.

        would be played in both doubles and captain for the easier double...already done -8 but very tempted as I feel Werner doesn't start both this week.

      I ended up doing Werner ➡️ Nketiah for a -4, not sure that's my finest ever, but at least I also get to bring in Alonso and Cancelo...

      What's the other moves that make yours a -4?

      Nice one as always G Wizz! What you think before for me?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        What's the question? 😆

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Haha. Was just below…

          BB36, FH37. Best move?

          A. Sterling >> KDB
          B. Sterling >> Son
          C. Sterling+Mount >> Son+Foden (-4)

          Foster
          TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Laporte
          Salah, Sterling, Saka, Mount
          Dennis, Nketiah
          (Schmeichel, Davies, Pukki, KDH)

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Was meant to say below not before 🙂

          1. G-Whizz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Sorry bruv, I was having trouble with my notifications as somehow the tick had gone from "Notify me of replies?" 🙁

            So sorry I didn't see this although that may have been a blessing for you seeing my form this season 😆

            1. G-Whizz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Please tell me you went KDB :O

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 7 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                I went KDB 🙂 but tbh the net gain wasn’t that great. Infact all 3 options would have scored OK. But yeah Kev was the slightly better pick. What I needed from you was to tell me to keep Sterling and drop Salah for KDB instead 🙂 haha

                1. G-Whizz
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 6 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  Yeah that's exactly what I would have said 😆

              2. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 7 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                That you can help me with this week is Kane or KDB? I’m on FH and considering dropping Kev after all he did, what you think? Crazy?

                PICK
                Trent/Robbo DIGNE CASH
                Salah Son ZAHA GORDON
                Kane INGS RICH

                1. G-Whizz
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 6 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  Very similar to mine but I went Mané over Salah and Maddison over Gordon but yeah my FH team doesn't have KDB in it either and rightly so considering their opposition this GW 😉

  3. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    couple of quick questions.

    1) Nketiah or Rich (-4)?
    2) Kulu or Laporte (-4)?
    3) Robbo/Mount/Nketiah or Kulu/Mahrez/Rich (-8)?
    4) Mount/Jesus or Mahrez/Rich (-4)

  4. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is Thiago Silva nailed?

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      As you can get but he is 37 and might not start 3 games a week when 2 of those are less important.

  5. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If you’re leading a league, who’s the best captain here?

    1. Salah
    2. Son
    3. James
    4. Cancelo

    1. oi no professionals
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      1

    3. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Surly Salah going to get rested during the double. FA Cup final next Saturday.

      1. Ospina Colada
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        The PL title is more important than the FA cup.

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He has been rested , doh, annoying

    4. Ospina Colada
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah the obvious choice.

  6. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Has Richarlison picked up an injury?

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He did but he then threw it off the pitch 😎 An investigation is afoot

      1. WelshWizard11
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Brilliant

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA

      E) Richarlison

  10. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Kane+Mount+Kulu-> Eddie, Kdb, Mahrez for a hit?

    Risky but I kinda like it.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeees

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers Optimus!

    2. Ospina Colada
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Risky but if you're behind in your ML it looks good as very differential.

  11. Forgetmeknot
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    36 weeks of careful planning and I am left with a BB (before transfers) of:

    - Dubravka (single gw of Man City)
    - Doherty (injured)
    - Ramsay (injured)
    - Broja (single gw and unlikely to start)

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not as bad but i took a minus 12, as i see this week as the real opportunity with 3 teams with two doubles, i went crazy.. I have Fh left and decided that i just use it in 38. Then i can off-load a bunch of craps from Everton, villa and Leicester..

  12. Junks
    • 2 Years

    On FH and chasing big time. Is this too punchy??

    Pickford

    1. sminkypinky

      1. Junks
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I like it too. Yeah captain is a tough one... I'm tempted with Diaz? Balls out and all that! But Salah or KDB more sensible.

        1. sminkypinky
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

    Hi all,

    2xFT

    15 DGW players. Anyone you would switch out for free?

    Foster/Schmiechel
    Davies/Cancello/TAA/Matip/Alonso
    Salah/KDH/Son/Mount/Havertz
    Pukki/Dennis/Nketiah

    0.8 in the bank.

      Havertz to Saka?

    2. Firminooooo

      Havertz to Mahrez

  16. Bod
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    White owners planning a bench boost, stick or twist?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      In the same boat. Need to resort Keane first. So White transfer means a hit.

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      stick - I thought the comments from Arteta were positive?

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I decided that i wanted someone with higher ceiling, and two doubles. Mina first choice but im so afraid of him getting injured so went mykolenko.

    If I don’t use a transfer and use bench boost, Do I have 2ft next week, or only 1 because I’ve used a chip? Thnx

    1. RA88IT
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Only one free transfer will carry over.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      1. RA88IT
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Biggsy is correct, you'll have two free transfers next week. Only lose the one transfer if using Wildcard or Freehit.

    Mahrez captain over Salah?

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years

      If you're chasing big time, roll the dice.

      Mahrez is a perfect captain for chasers

  27. Snake Juice

    Final decisions to make on FH:

    Mahrez or Jesus
    Diaz or Jota

    Keep Mount or swap for Kulu/Raph?
    Full of Pool/City so no Foden /Diaz/Jota options

    A) Mina
    B) Mykolenko

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mina

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    3. the_mongoose
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’d go Mykolenko as he’s on some set pieces
