Fantasy Bundesliga Tips: 10 Players to Consider for Matchday 21
In this week’s Fantasy Bundesliga article, we’re taking a different approach by spotlighting under-the-radar players with a maximum ownership percentage of 20%. These players may not be the most obvious picks, but they offer great value as differentials, potentially giving you an edge over your competitors. Let’s dive into the players who could make a significant impact on Matchday 21.
Defensive Differentials to Watch
Lukas Ullrich, Gladbach (Defender, 5M, 2%)
Lukas Ullrich has emerged as a standout defender for Gladbach, surpassing Luca Netz in the pecking order for the left-back position. His standout performance against Stuttgart last week, where he earned 237 points, is a clear indicator of his rising form. Given Gladbach’s attractive schedule and Ullrich’s low price tag of just 5 million, he is an excellent value pick for Matchday 21.
Kaishu Sano, Mainz (Defender, 8M, 20%)
Mainz boasts one of the most favorable schedules in the league, and Kaishu Sano is a prime candidate to capitalize on this. Despite being categorized as a defender in the game, Sano often plays as a midfielder, making him a versatile and consistent performer. His average of 181 points per game at 8 million makes him a steal and a solid differential option.
Bernardo, Bochum (Defender, 11M, 1%)
At 11 million, Bernardo is a high-priced pick for a Bochum player, but his recent form justifies the investment. The centre-back’s impressive 275 points in last week’s 1-0 defeat to Freiburg have raised his average points per game to 177. With Bochum facing relegation rivals Holstein Kiel this weekend, he stands a good chance of delivering another strong performance.
Midfielders to Consider
Paul Nebel, Mainz (Midfielder, 6M, 18%)
Paul Nebel continues to be one of the best value picks in the game, costing just 6 million. Mainz’s favorable run of fixtures enhances his appeal, making him an intriguing option for managers looking for a budget-friendly midfielder who can consistently rack up points.
Nathan Ngoumou, Gladbach (Midfielder, 9M, 0%)
With key forwards Franck Honorat and Alassane Plea out injured, Nathan Ngoumou has stepped up to the plate. His goal last week and subsequent praise from head coach Gerardo Seoane highlight his potential. Given Gladbach’s advantageous fixture list, Ngoumou could be a valuable differential in the coming weeks.
Merlin Röhl, Freiburg (Midfielder, 10M, 0%)
Merlin Röhl is a regular starter in Freiburg’s attacking midfield and is considered one of Germany’s most promising talents in his position. Although he is still finding his form post-injury, his 193 points against Bochum last week are encouraging. At 10 million, he is a solid alternative to Ritsu Doan and Vincenzo Grifo, especially given Freiburg’s favorable upcoming fixtures.
Strikers to Watch
Adam Hlozek, Hoffenheim (Striker, 10M, 1%)
Adam Hlozek has been on fire recently, scoring four goals in his last five games across all competitions. Playing at home against an inconsistent Union Berlin side, he is poised for another productive matchday. At 10 million, he offers a great balance of affordability and potential for high returns.
Benjamin Sesko, RB Leipzig (Striker, 14M, 3%)
Leipzig will aim to rebound after last week’s disappointing performance, and Benjamin Sesko, who has found the net 14 times this season, will be crucial. Despite a three-match goal drought, Sesko is a proven goalscorer and will be determined to break his dry spell against St. Pauli at home.
Serhou Guirassy, Borussia Dortmund (Striker, 19M, 5%)
On a four-game goalscoring streak in all competitions, Serhou Guirassy is in top form. As Niko Kovac takes the helm as Borussia Dortmund’s new coach, Guirassy will be a key player in the team’s attack. His 19 million price tag reflects his high value, but his consistent goal-scoring potential makes him a must-consider option for Matchday 21.
These players offer a mix of value, form, and favorable fixtures, making them excellent choices to bolster your Fantasy Bundesliga lineup for Matchday 21.
