Fantasy Bundesliga tips: 10 players to consider for Matchday 4
In this Fantasy Bundesliga article, we will not be focusing on the most obvious picks such as Florian Wirtz and Harry Kane.
Instead, we will highlight players with a maximum ownership percentage of 20%, who could offer great value as differentials for Matchday 4.
Kamil Grabara, Wolfsburg (Goalkeeper, 10M, 3%)
It doesn't seem to make much sense to spend big on goalkeeper with the new scoring system, but Kamil Grabara could be an excellent differential this week at 10 million. The Polish goalkeeper has had an excellent start to life in Germany following his move from FC Copenhagen, averaging 214 points, with 188 being his lowest return so far. With Wolfsburg taking on Leverkusen this week, he should be able to earn plenty of points for saves.
Diogo Leite, Union Berlin (Defender, 9M, 5%)
The central defender has emerged as an excellent Fantasy asset with the new scoring system. He has averaged 261 points per game so far, and Union have been very solid at the back under new coach Bo Svensson, conceding just one goal in three league games. This week, they face an injury-hit Hoffenheim side, who have lost their last two matches.
Maximilian Wittek, Bochum (Defender, 10M, 1%)
Two clubs with zero points from three games lock horns on Saturday when Bochum host newly promoted Holstein Kiel in a match the home side will be desperate to win. Despite Bochum's poor start to the season, Maximilian Wittek has been very solid, averaging 193 points per game. This favorable matchup should give Bochum's set piece taker a good chance of getting a 200+ return.
Castello Lukeba, RB Leipzig (Defender, 11M, 4%)
Another player who has benefited greatly from the new scoring system is Lukeba. He has averaged 240 points and racked up an impressive 329 points against St. Pauli, 204 of which came from duels won and 95 from completed passes.
Nico Schlotterbeck, Borussia Dortmund (Defender, 14M, 10%)
Back from suspension, Schlotterbeck is once again an option to consider at the back. His 387-point haul against Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 1 (without any goal involvement) certainly showed what the centre-back is capable of. The biggest downside to bringing him in now is that Dortmund have a rather tough game against Stuttgart and probably won't be as dominant as they are most weeks.
Vincenzo Grifo, Freiburg (Midfielder, 12M, 6%)
Grifo seems to have been rejuvenated by new Freiburg coach Julian Schuster and looks back to his best after a rather disappointing 2023/24 season by his standards. He was everywhere against Bochum last week and ended up with a whopping 328 points. If you don't have him in your team already, it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon, as Freiburg have four excellent games coming up.
Nadiem Amiri, Mainz (Midfielder, 13M, 4%)
Amiri played a key role in Mainz's escape from relegation last season and has started the new campaign where he left off, as the team's talisman in midfield. So far, he's the third-best producing midfielder with 701 points to his name, and Mainz now have a favorable schedule coming up.
Granit Xhaka, Leverkusen (Midfielder, 15M, 12%)
He may have flown under the Fantasy radar a bit, but Xhaka has actually been the second highest-scoring midfielder with an impressive 764 points, behind only teammate Florian Wirtz. Xhaka seems to get around 90 points per game from build-up play alone, which gives him a very solid base.
Myron Boadu, Bochum (Striker, 6M, 0%)
Last week, Junior Adamu stole the show as a budget striker - perhaps this time it's Myron Boadu's turn? Available for the same price as Adamu, Boadu made his first start for Bochum last week and scored his first goal for the club against Freiburg. With the striker now facing a Kiel side who have conceded 11 goals in their first three games, he could be a great differential.
Andrej Kramaric, Hoffenheim (Striker, 10M, 17%)
Kramaric has proven to be one of the best value picks so far, scoring a whopping 825 points in his first three games. Last week, despite a 4-1 loss to champions Bayer Leverkusen, he still managed an acceptable 161 points, proving that he can produce against any opposition.
