Fantasy Bundesliga

The best Fantasy Bundesliga players for Matchday 34

Well, here we are. By about 16:20 this afternoon, the 2021/22 Bundesliga season will have come to a close. We’ll know who has been relegated and who grabbed the fourth Champions League spot. Expect plenty of rotation on this last day of the season.

As always, there is no Robert Lewandowski or Erling Haaland in this squad, for what might be both of their last games in the Bundesliga.

Goalkeepers

Stefan Ortega (8.2m), Marcel Lotka (1.4m)

With all the games being played at the same time, there’s no real need for two goalkeepers in this squad but we’ll pick them for the sake of habit. Stefan Ortega will have to be at his very best to give Arminia Bielefeld any hope of survival in Matchday 34 (MD34).

They host RB Leipzig, who need a win to secure Champions League qualification but have fallen off after their excellent start under Domenico Tedesco. Although he hasn’t hit the heights of last season, Ortega grabbed 11 points last time out in the loss at Bochum and will likely have plenty to do on Saturday afternoon.

The cheapest starting keeper in the game, Marcel Lotka actually comes into this tie top of the game’s ‘form’ metric. Hertha are by no means safe from relegation, as they visit Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion. The hosts will be looking to put on a show to finish the season and Lotka will have to do everything in his power to stop that from happening.

Defenders

Christopher Trimmel (11.3m), Borna Sosa (12.5m), Daniel Brosinski (3.3m), Mads Pedersen (3.8m), Nordi Mukiele (10.7m)

Union Berlin are in exceptional form and could still get a Champions League place if other results go their way. Captain Christopher Trimmel has come into his own recently, with two double-digit hauls and 37 points from his last three games. Opponents Bochum have nothing to play for and Trimmel will have chances to pick up points across the pitch.

After their surprise draw with the champions last week, Stuttgart know that a point will guarantee they avoid automatic relegation and three points could see them avoid the playoff too. Borna Sosa has been one of their best performers all season. After 22 points in his last two games, this could be his most important performance of the season.

Bo Svensson has confirmed that Daniel Brosinski will start his last game for Mainz on Saturday. The fans favourite was on penalties for a long time and Mainz should be favourites here. Frankfurt will just be hoping to get through this game without any injuries.

Augsburg finish their season against bottom-side Greuther Fürth. Mads Pedersen has been tipped to return to his position on the wing – the one which earned him 26 points in Matchday 28. The Dane could have a field day in Stefan Leitl’s last game for the Kleeblattern.

Nordi Mukiele managed 25 points last time out against Augsburg and will have the chance to do it again against nearly-relegated Bielefeld. Leipzig will be all guns blazing, which bodes well for Mukiele.

Midfielders

Christopher Nkunku (20.1m), Jonas Hofmann (16.3m), Julian Brandt (12.9m), Andre Hahn (9.0m), Roland Sallai (11.6m)

The second-highest scoring player this season by some distance, Christopher Nkunku has had a truly exceptional season. Whilst rumours suggest that this may be his last league game for Die Roten Bullen, there’s nothing to stop him going out in style.

Jonas Hofmann has been Gladbach’s shining star in a disappointing campaign. Adi Hütter’s side host leaky Hoffenheim on Saturday and Hofmann should get plenty of opportunities to add to his three hauls of 20+ points this season.

Julian Brandt got a brace last time out to take his Bundesliga tally to nine goals and eight assists this season. He is a key attacking outlet for Marco Rose’s men and will get chances against Hertha’s woeful backline.

Augsburg host Fürth on the final day and, although Andre Hahn has not had his best season, he’s backed to produce here. Elsewhere, a Freiburg win in Leverkusen could take them into the Champions League and Roland Sallai has come into form of late. The Hungarian has four double-digit hauls from his last five games.

Forwards

Jonathan Burkardt (9.8m), Anthony Modeste (11.9m), Andre Silva (17.8m)

Frankfurt will have both eyes on Wednesday’s Europa League final, which should bode well for Mainz. Jonathan Burkardt has had an excellent season and averages over ten points per game throughout his last five home games. The German starlet is a top pick for the final day.

Anthony Modeste has the highest points average of any forward over the last five matches and a meeting with 16th-placed Stuttgart to finish the season off.

As with the earlier Leipzig assets, Andre Silva has a reason to win this match and will do his best to ensure that happens. Silva bagged a goal and 14 points against Augsburg last week – he could easily do the same to Bielefeld.

    Watkins and Cout -> Richa and Zaha worth a hit?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Go with your gut - could easily backfire but do prefer R+Z

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      Sounds like a joke tbh

  3. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Richarlison, Cash, Saka (-4)
    B) Richarlison, Watkins, Holgate (-4)
    C) Watkins, Cash, Saka

    (Have Coutinho and no other Everton)

    Thinking A given Watkins is a doubt?

    Cheers!

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Seems like you want Richarlison
      B

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Don't we all? 🙂 struggling decide between Saka and Cash v Watkins and Holgate.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Not for me, Everton is parking the bus and playing to survive.
          Sure, Richarlison is the main man but I have no faith in their attack

  4. jimbo90
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    On a free hit:

    a) Pickford and Digne
    b) Schmeichel and Mykolenko

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

  5. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH draft with 4 big hitters in. What do you think? Could get Zaha for Kulu but means downgrading one of the def to a cheaper doubler/Sessegnon?

    Pickford,
    Digne, Cash, Myko, Justin
    Salah, Son, KDB, Kulu
    Kane, Rich

    Steele, D Luiz, Gelhardt, Tsimi

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah I should downgrade Justin to afford Kulu to Zaha

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers

  6. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Free Hitting 38 so just for this week and who drops to the bench for the transfer in

    Schmeichel
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Cash
    Salah, Foden, Coutinho, Gordan
    Rich, Watkins

    Foster, Saka, Nkeitah, Laporte

    2 FT 0.9 ITB

    A) Coutinho + Laporte > Zaha + Digne
    B) Saka + Schmeichel > Zaha + Pickford
    C) TAA + Coutinho + Saka > Digne + Son + Zaha (-4)
    D) Watkins + Saka > Ings + Zaha

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes - Saka to Zaha and Laporte to Digne/cash

      I don't like the Schmeichel to Pickford move. Feels like a waste of a FT.

      1. Super John McGinn-
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Can’t have more than 3 villa

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Ah OK. Dependa if Watkins trains today, I would do option D

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Don't like any of those options.
      E) Foden -> Zaha

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who scores more iyo?

    A. Mykolenko (BRE, CPL, ars)
    B. Sessegnon (BUR, nor)

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    5. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd say Mykolenko.

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Thanks all

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Looking for thoughts on the options below assuming Laporte is out:
    A. Mykolenko (-4)
    B. Cash (-4)
    C. Play Brownhill

    1FT 0.5ITB - No chips left
    Schmeichel
    TAA Robbo Cancelo James Laporte*
    Salah Son Kulu Saka
    Ings
    (Steele Brownhill Gelhardt Greenwood)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      0FT 1.4ITB*

    2. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    3. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Obviously A and B are more exciting but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if C + 4 outscores them both.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah Brownhill certainly has a DD haul in him. On some set pieces and Burnley looking more attacking edges me towards not take the hit

        1. ebb2sparky
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I think that’s what I’d do. Burnley need to win some games so I’d assume they’ll be a bit more attacking.

          1. The Mentaculus
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Interesting... I figured Burnley would look to grind out 2 draws in 37 & maybe play a more expansive game against Newcastle

            1. ebb2sparky
              • 13 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Fair point. I forgot how bad Leeds are. Draws for Burnley will probably be fine.

  9. dshv
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH37.

    Pickford
    Taa cancelo cash
    Zaha gordon Kdb Son(c) Salah
    Ings Richarlison

    What to change ??

    Am I need cancelo and taa??

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      TAA to Robbo. Use the cash to upgrade a defender to Mykolenko and bench gordon

      1. dshv
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Why to bench gordon?

  10. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Barnes or Salah?

    Thanks.

    1. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      not barnes for sure

    2. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If Salah gets injured in the cup final then Barnes else Salah

  11. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Captain?

    A Richarlison
    B Son
    C Salah
    D KDB

    1. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Tough one. I expect the majority of free hitters are facing the same dilemma. I’ll probably go A but I think they’re all good options.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C

    3. The Mentaculus

    One last deadline for Bundesliga Fantasy...

    Was fun to play this one, if only I had better knowledge about it.

  13. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo Alonso (Matip) (Laporte)
    Salah Son Mount Kulu Saka
    Richarlison Nketiah (Pukki)

    Need some help please - which option to go for, or any other ideas?

    1. Laporte > Cash (benching one of Alonso/Cancelo/Saka)

    2. As per 1, and also Saka > Zaha/Coutinho -4

    3. Pukki + Mount > Ings + Trossard (benching Saka)

    4. Just roll the FT and play current team

  14. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    3rd best Everton defender?

    assuming myko and pickford are top 2

    Keane or holgate?

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Holgate

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Keane not more of a goal threat?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Keane might not start if Godfrey is available and fit to start

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      toss a coin

  15. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best option for BB this week: Will FH in GW38 so these transfers are essentially one week punts. 0.3 ITB

    A - Mitchell, Cancelo & Dennis > Digne, Holgate & Ings for -8
    B - Other suggestion?

    Schmeichel
    TAA - Cancelo - James
    KDB - Mount - Son - Saka - Maddison
    Richarlison - Dennis

    Foster - Mateta - Mitchell - Schar

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A, but Mateta is a bit of a dilemma too.

      Could be a sub appearance and possibly 1 start?

  16. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Chasing FH team

    Pickford
    Cash Mykolenko Castagne
    Salah Son KDB Jota
    Vardy (C) Ings Welbeck

    (Matthews Brownhill Tsimi Kelly)

    Wish me luck, guys

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

      Matip over Welbeck if he is benched in cup?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Good call mate. Also looking at Trossard, Mings or Cucurella for the final spot.

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Trossard is a good shout, Nabil! I am just shy of doing him. Holmes suggested good alternatives though!!

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            yeah maybe I should be bolder! cheers man

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years

      That guy ?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        maybe. 42 points difference

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Consider Bowen, Zaha, Maddison, Trossard as well if you're going to go all in with differentials.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks, yeah think I'm going all in

  17. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Is Digne a rotation risk?

    Anyone considering mings over him?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Possibly Young could get a game

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yes

      I am

  18. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If you were doing 2 or 3 transfers to set up a BB, including Ramsdale to Pickford would you rather keep Jesus or Mahrez for this week?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maybe Jesus but both are not great to keep a hold of

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

      mahrez

  19. mcsteely

    Bench two:

    A Alonso

    D Dewsbury Hall

  20. FFFoxy

    Vardy or ings?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      V

    2. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Vardy is a great punt if you can stretch the funds - I've gone Maddi to save

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years

        I'm going for Vardy. Have a feeling Ings might get rotated for Burnley

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    FH GTG?

    Pickford
    Matip Clyne Cash

      Any worry Mané will be rested? Have him in my main team but thinking of going for Jota & Diaz on FH

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I like it and you'll get more informations whether to go with Salah/Mane/Jota/Diaz today.

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

    Which is better ??
    A - Pickford & Myko & KDH
    B- Kasper & Holgate & Gordon

  23. Arteta

        Plenty of BB's as well as FH2 to use still.

  24. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If Man City beat West Ham this week do you reckon Klopp concedes the race and does a mass rest vs Southampton?

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nope.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I just don't think it's in his nature unless it's mathematically not possible.

      Then you'd do so and rest your main players with the Real Madrid final match to win.

      So unless Southampton get something it's going to the wire.

  25. sirmorbach

    Please rate my FH team?

      Similar to mine but I fancy Clyne as a starter

        Just joking, it's pretty good and Zaha (c) could turn out to be amazing call.

      What’s the latest status on Watkins?

      1. School of Poch

        1 year, 10 months ago

        I actually don't know, will change to Ings on Sunday if there's no news maybe

          He trains today & will be involved in tomorrow’s game. Likely from the bench.

            Worth having him then or are there better Villa options?

            1. Walter White (WW)
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              He will like play max. of around 120 minutes out of the 180 minutes(30 minutes vs Palace & 80-90 minutes vs Burnley if he is fully fit)

              Steven Gerrard says that Ollie Watkins hasn't trained all week but could still play some part v Palace.

              https://www.twitter.com/FFScout/status/1525098644730527747

              Ings is an option but Ings won’t play 180 minutes imo.

              Think it was just a knock, so maybe keep Watkins if it will cost a hit or sell for free.

                I saw Watkins on the Villa training pic posted 19hrs ago, not sure if is old pic

              1 year, 10 months ago

              Ollie hasn’t trained yet since the game but he’s still got a chance to be involved,” Gerrard explained.

              “We’re hoping he’s going to take part in tomorrow’s session.

              “It’s a knock on his ankle, I don’t think it’s too serious.

              “I’m told by the doctor he’ll be coming out tomorrow to try and train so all being well, he’ll be available.”

              On FH it’s probably better to get Ings instead. That’s what majority of managers are doing.

      Sons form is just silly . Although burnley can be a tough nut to crack . Think I would probably go Son though
