Fantasy Bundesliga: 10 players to consider for Matchday 23
Here are 10 players you should consider bringing into your Fantasy Bundesliga team for Matchday 23.
In this Fantasy Bundesliga article, we will not be focusing on the most obvious picks such as Jamal Musiala and Randal Kolo Muani.
Instead, we will highlight players with a maximum ownership percentage of 20%, who could offer great value as differentials for Matchday 23.
Kilian Fischer, Wolfsburg (Defender, 2.3M, 0%)
Fischer made a surprise start at right-back in last week's 2-0 win over FC Köln and should keep his place after impressing and picking up 10 points. Priced at just 2.3 million and owned by 0 percent, it's hard to go wrong with him.
Danny da Costa, Mainz (Defender, 5.6M, 1%)
Da Costa seized his chance when Silvan Widmer was injured and has remained in the starting line-up since the captain's return. The right-back produced arguably his best performance of the season in last Friday's 4-0 win over Gladbach, registering an assist and tallying 19 points.
Paulo Otavio, Wolfsburg (Defender, 8.7M, 15%)
Wolfsburg returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Köln last time out, and Otavio has scored double-digit points in three of his last four games. If you want a defender playing in one of the stand-alone fixtures on Sunday, he's certainly a good shout.
Mitchel Bakker, Leverkusen (Defender, 9.6M, 0%)
Running tirelessly up and down the left flank, Bakker had an impressive game against Freiburg last week, providing the assist for Leverkusen's goal and picking up 13 points. Owned by 0 percent, he offers a good alternative to his more popular teammate Jeremie Frimpong.
Rodrigo Zalazar, Schalke 04 (Midfielder, 4.6M, 1%)
Zalazar was all over the place as Schalke beat Stuttgart 2-1, providing an assist and tallying 17 points. Despite being bottom of the table, Schalke haven't lost in their last five games, and they now have a relegation six-pointer coming up against a Bochum side, who have lost three in a row.
Kevin Stöger, Bochum (Midfielder, 6.9M, 3%)
To be fair to Bochum, two of their last three games have been on the road, and they're a much better side at home. If you feel like backing Thomas Letsch's to return to winning ways, Kevin Stöger could be worth a punt. Pulling the strings in midfield, the 29-year-old has taken 25 points from Bochum's last three home games.
Jae-sung Lee, Mainz (Midfielder, 7.8M, 6%)
Lee continued his red-hot form against Gladbach last week, scoring and providing an assist in Mainz's impressive 4-0 victory, meaning he has now found the net five times and set up two goals in his last five Bundesliga games. With Mainz facing the league's most out-of-form side, Hoffenheim, at home this time, the 30-year-old could be in for another big game.
Ludovic Ajorque, Mainz (Striker, 8.5M, 0%)
The French striker should be confident after scoring his first Bundesliga goal against Gladbach last Friday. Owned by 0 percent, he could be a good differential given Mainz's attractive match at home against Hoffenheim.
Moussa Diaby, Leverkusen (Striker, 14.6M, 4%)
Diaby might not have performed that well Fantasy wise recently, but the French attacker's form should take a turn for the better, now that he's back to full fitness. Playing at home against a Hertha side that have lost every away game since a 1-1 draw at Mainz on September 16th, the Frenchman could be a real difference-maker this week.
Thomas Müller, Bayer (Striker, 15.8M, 3%)
Looking at the last four matchdays, Müller has been the third-best performing forward in the game with 33 points to his name, behind only Randal Kolo Muani and Kingsley Coman. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann confirmed after Sunday's 3-0 victory over Union Berlin that he plans to stick with Müller in his starting line-up. That, coupled with his good form, makes the 33-year-old an option worth considering once again.
