Fantasy Bundesliga Tips: Under-the-Radar Players to Consider for Matchday 24
In the ever-competitive world of Fantasy Bundesliga, it’s essential to consider players who not only have the potential to deliver high returns but also offer a unique edge over the more popular picks. This article will focus on players with a maximum ownership percentage of 20%, providing great value as differentials for Matchday 24. These players may not be household names, but they could be the difference between a decent score and a league-winning performance.
Defenders to Watch
Tom Rothe, Union Berlin (Defender, 7M, 2%)
Tom Rothe has emerged as a reliable left-back for Union Berlin, particularly with Robert Skov sidelined. Rothe has already made his mark this season, contributing two goals and three assists. His attacking prowess could prove valuable in Sunday’s home game against Holstein Kiel, a side known for its defensive vulnerabilities. After a disappointing 6-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin will be desperate to bounce back and secure crucial points in their relegation battle. Rothe’s form and the favorable matchup make him a solid pick for your fantasy lineup.
Denis Vavro, Wolfsburg (Defender, 8M, 2%)
Denis Vavro is a combative center-back with the occasional goal-scoring ability, making him a valuable asset in your fantasy squad. Wolfsburg is currently enjoying a favorable run of fixtures, and their upcoming match against struggling Werder Bremen is no exception. Vavro’s reliability and Wolfsburg’s strong defensive record make him a good value for the 8M price tag. His ability to contribute to both goals and clean sheets could provide a steady stream of points for your team.
Leo Østigård, Hoffenheim (Defender, 9M, 5%)
Leo Østigård has been a standout performer for Hoffenheim since joining the club. He has scored an impressive average of 255 points in his two appearances so far. Despite Hoffenheim’s inconsistent form, Østigård has demonstrated his ability to produce high points even in tough matches, as evidenced by his 302-point performance in a 4-0 defeat to Union Berlin. With Hoffenheim facing a string of favorable fixtures, Østigård could continue to be a reliable source of points for your squad.
Midfielders to Consider
Julian Ryerson, Borussia Dortmund (Defender, 12M, 1%)
Since Niko Kovac’s appointment as head coach, Julian Ryerson has taken on a more prominent role, including handling some set-pieces, which has increased his fantasy value. Ryerson scored 290 points in Borussia Dortmund’s 6-0 victory over Union Berlin, showcasing his potential to deliver big returns. With BVB traveling to Hamburg to face struggling St. Pauli, Ryerson’s involvement in both defensive and attacking plays makes him a strong choice for Matchday 24.
Tom Krauß, Bochum (Midfielder, 6M, 0%)
Tom Krauß has quickly become a key player for Bochum since joining on loan in the winter transfer window. His impact is reflected in his fantasy numbers, as he has scored over 200 points in each of his last two games. Krauß’s performances have been crucial, and his low ownership percentage (0%) makes him an attractive differential option. Bochum’s home clash with Hoffenheim this week is a significant match, and Krauß’s contribution could be pivotal.
Patrick Wimmer, Wolfsburg (Midfielder, 10M, 1%)
Patrick Wimmer has been a key attacking player for Wolfsburg in recent weeks. Despite being substituted after about an hour in last week’s 1-1 draw with Bochum, Wimmer still managed to score 226 points. His strong performance in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday further underscores his form. With Wolfsburg facing an out-of-form Werder Bremen, Wimmer’s attacking prowess and consistency make him a viable option for your fantasy lineup.
Strikers to Watch
Pascal Groß, Borussia Dortmund (Midfielder, 11M, 2%)
Pascal Groß was highlighted in last week’s article and lived up to the hype, setting up four goals and scoring an astounding 515 points. While such a performance may be hard to replicate, there’s no denying that Groß has become a crucial player under Niko Kovac. His involvement in the team’s build-up play and his ability to create and score opportunities make him a reliable option for your fantasy squad, especially as BVB looks to maintain their momentum.
Benedikt Hollerbach, Union Berlin (Striker, 8M, 11%)
Benedikt Hollerbach has been one of the few bright spots for Union Berlin in an otherwise disappointing season. The 23-year-old has already tallied six goals and three assists, making him a consistent attacking threat. Hollerbach’s form and Union Berlin’s need for points in their relegation battle make him a compelling choice for Matchday 24, especially against a Kiel side that struggles to keep clean sheets.
Andrej Kramaric, Hoffenheim (Striker, 10M, 4%)
Andrej Kramaric is a proven goal-scorer and playmaker for Hoffenheim, capable of producing both assists and goals. With Hoffenheim entering a favorable run of fixtures, now is a good time to consider adding Kramaric to your squad. His ability to contribute to the team’s attacking plays and his consistent form make him a valuable asset at the 10M price point.
