Fantasy Bundesliga tips: 10 players to consider for Matchday 22

In this Fantasy Bundesliga article, we’ll highlight 10 players to consider adding to your team ahead of Matchday 22.

As a rule of thumb, we’ll try to steer clear of the most obvious picks, instead focusing mainly on players who could offer great value as differentials.

Ozan Kabak, Hoffenheim (Defender, 5.33M, 1%)

Kabak racked up 250+ points from winning duels alone in back-to-back games before taking just 89 points from Hoffenheim’s heavy 5-1 loss to Bayern last week. With a brighter run of fixtures ahead against Freiburg, Köln, St. Pauli, Heidenheim and Wolfsburg on the horizon, the Turkish centre-back looks like an excellent option at his price.

Jeff Chabot, Stuttgart (Defender, 9.33M, 14%)

Stuttgart will aim to bounce back against 1. FC Köln after a 1-2 defeat to St. Pauli. One of the club's most consistent Fantasy performers, Chabot was rested for that loss, but has been guaranteed a return to the starting lineup by Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness.

Edmond Tapsoba, Bayer Leverkusen (Defender, 12.97M, 13%)

Tapsoba has delivered remarkably consistent Fantasy returns for some time now, scoring at least 194 points in each of his last five matches. With Leverkusen heading into a favourable run of fixtures, the defender remains a highly appealing option.

Mert Kömür, Augsburg (Midfielder, 1.31M, 2%)

One of the bright spots for Augsburg early in the season, Kömür’s value has dropped after a difficult period, now sitting just above 1 million. He returned to the starting XI against Mainz and is expected to start once more at home against bottom-placed Heidenheim, making him a bargain pick with plenty of potential. For those with the budget, however, it may be more safe to go with Alexis Claude-Maurice (15.79M, 17%) as a higher-priced option from Augsburg.

Lennart Karl, FC Bayern (Midfielder, 3.35M, 10%)

After watching Bayern’s 2-0 DFB-Pokal win over RB Leipzig from the bench, Karl is expected to start against Werder Bremen, especially with Michael Olise suspended. At only 3.35M, the youngster offers excellent value for money.

Bilal El Khannouss, Stuttgart (Midfielder, 13.3M, 8%)

Following a subdued performance against St. Pauli, El Khannouss has been backed by Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness to return to the form that has made him one of the club's key attacking players this season. With a favourable upcoming schedule, he remains an attractive Fantasy option.

Julian Brandt, Borussia Dortmund (Midfielder, 13.72M, 5%)

Brandt has quietly delivered solid Fantasy returns lately, scoring between 161 and 260 points in his last five games. Owned by just 5% of managers, he offers differential potential as Dortmund host Mainz at Signal Iduna Park on Friday.

Patrik Schick, Bayer Leverkusen (Striker, 7.97M, 5%)

Schick has only scored once in 2026, but given Leverkusen’s upcoming favourable fixtures, he should have a good chance of increasing his tally in the coming weeks. Priced at 7.97M, he’s affordable, but the possibility of the striker getting rotated out for Christian Kofane is a concern during a busy schedule.

Serhou Guirassy, Borussia Dortmund (Striker, 15.96M, 9%)

It has been a tough season for Guirassy, but the Guinea international is in fine form at the moment, having produced three consecutive 200+ point returns. He looks poised to continue his run when Dortmund face Mainz at home on Friday.

Deniz Undav, Stuttgart (Striker, 16.51M, 20%)

Despite a disappointing performance last week, Undav remains Stuttgart’s main man up front and an intriguing Fantasy pick, whose appeal is only boosted by his team’s upcoming favourable fixtures.
