Fantasy Bundesliga tips: 10 players to consider for Matchday 31
Nadiem Amiri. | FSV Mainz 05 |
In this Fantasy Bundesliga article, we will not be focusing on the most obvious picks such as Jeremie Frimpong and Harry Kane.
Instead, we will highlight players with a maximum ownership percentage of 20%, who could offer great value as differentials for Matchday 31.
Anthony Caci, Mainz (Defender, 5.6M, 0%)
Playing in an attacking wing-back role, Caci has averaged 11 points per game in his last three matches, he's on sale, and Mainz face a demoralized Köln side at home.
Mitchell Weiser, Werder Bremen (Defender, 12.2M, 7%)
Weiser's offensive output makes him one of the most explosive defenders in the game, and he's quietly worked his way up to being the sixth-highest scoring defender this season. The away game against Augsburg is likely to be close, but he usually does well even when Werder don't win.
Raphael Guerreiro, Bayern (Defender, 14.4M, 7%)
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel played Guerreiro on the left wing to great effect against Arsenal and could do the same against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal in mid-week. If that is indeed his plan, it would make sense to start Guerreiro in the same role against Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend, especially with Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry ruled out. That makes him an intriguing option, and it's worth noting that the last time he played in midfield, he scored 22 points against FC Köln two weeks ago.
Brajan Gruda, Mainz (Midfielder, 3.1M, 6%)
With Bo Henriksen's in-form, spirited Mainz side taking on a disheartened FC Köln side at home, Gruda is an attractive option, especially for the price. Having scored twice in his last three games, it doesn't get much better than Gruda when it comes to budget picks.
Nadiem Amiri, Mainz (Midfielder, 8.9M, 4%)
Playing as a deep-lying playmaker, Amiri has scored double figures three times in a row and should have a good chance of continuing that streak, with Mainz likely to dominate at home against Köln.
Robin Hack, Gladbach (Midfielder, 8.4M, 1%)
Hack has been hit and miss this season, but when he's had a good game, he's exploded - like last week against Hoffenheim, when he bagged a hat-trick. That should give him a lot of confidence going into a home game against an Union side who just conceded five goals against Bayern.
Jonathan Burkardt, Mainz (Striker, 5.9M, 2%)
Burkardt has been involved in an average of one goal per game in his last seven matches, scoring five times and assisting twice. A great matchup against FC Köln at home only adds to the case for picking him up, although it's worth noting that he's expected to play in a more withdrawn role this week to cope with Lee Jae-Sung's absence.
Ermedin Demirovic, Augsburg (Striker, 13.2M, 4%)
Demirovic has been very productive for Augsburg this season, scoring 15 goals and laying on 9 assists in 29 appearances. He's likely to add to that tally against a Werder side who haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eight games. In terms of ceiling, he's proven that he's up there with the best, but it's worth bearing in mind that he hasn't been at his best in recent weeks.
Victor Boniface, Leverkusen (Striker, 13.7M, 9%)
With Stuttgart traveling to Leverkusen this week and then facing Bayern, it's worth considering selling Serhou Guirassy. If you trust Leverkusen more than Stuttgart to get a result, you could swap him for Victor Boniface, who is on sale this week.
Andrej Kramaric, Hoffenheim (Striker, 15.4M, 0%)
Although Kramaric only had one assist in last week's 4-3 win over Gladbach, he still managed to score a whopping 19 points, which says a lot about his involvement and potential. With Hoffenheim facing an out-of-form Bochum side on Friday night, he could be in for another productive matchday.
