Fantasy Bundesliga: Scout squads for Matchday 1

Here are our Fantasy Bundesliga scout squads for Matchday 1 of the 2025/26 season.

Bulinews’ Fantasy Bundesliga writers have each put together a squad of 10 outfield players for the opening matchday of the new season.

Managers have full freedom with formations, but squads can’t exceed 120M, can only include up to three players from the same club, and must be built around low-ownership picks (under 20%).

On top of that, every manager can choose one captain, whose points will be doubled.

With the rules set, let’s take a look at the squads our writers have assembled for Matchday 1:

Rune Gjerulff (price, ownership):

Luca Jaquez, Stuttgart (2.3M, 2%)
