Fantasy Bundesliga tips: 10 players to consider for Matchday 12

Here are 10 players you should consider bringing into your Fantasy Bundesliga team for Matchday 12.

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 12.

Nnamdi Collins, Eintracht Frankfurt (Defender, 4M, 7%)

Priced at a measly 4 million, Collins has to be one of the best value picks in the game at the moment. In his last three games, the right-back has averaged 223 points, and he’s playing for an in-form Eintracht side.

Eric Smith, St. Pauli (Defender, 8M, 2%)

Given his set-piece duties, many Fantasy Bundesliga players had high expectations for Smith at the start of the season. He hasn’t quite lived up to them yet, but there’s no better opportunity for him to shine than at home to Holstein Kiel.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Augsburg (Defender, 8M, 1%)

Like St. Pauli, Augsburg have an attractive fixture this week as they host bottom side Bochum.  Gouweeuw is the penalty-taker and defensive boss for an Augsburg side that actually did well defensively against Bayern last week, despite conceding three goals.

Mitchell Weiser, Werder Bremen (Defender, 13M, 4%)

Looking at the heights he reached earlier in the season, Weiser is a player who’d be great to have between now and Christmas, with Werder having one of the best schedules. After this week’s clash with Stuttgart, they face Bochum, St. Pauli and Union Berlin before the winter break.

Alexis Claude-Maurice, Augsburg (Midfielder, 6M, 9%)

Claude-Maurice’s 419-point haul against Borussia Dortmund showed what he’s capable of. Playing out of position as a striker, he’s a very attractive option as Augsburg host Bochum.

Paul Nebel, Mainz (Midfielder, 6M, 2%)

Nebel has developed into a starter of late and is coming off two very productive performances against Borussia Dortmund (266 points) and Holstein Kiel (301 points). Their opponents, Hoffenheim, beat Leipzig in Christian Ilzer’s first game in charge, but they conceded three goals in the process, so Die Nullfünfer should have a good chance of finding the net against them as well.

Chris Führich, Stuttgart (Midfielder, 14M, 1%)

After a tough start to the season, Führich is starting to look more like the player we saw last season. He has scored 336 and 298 points respectively in his last two games, and Stuttgart have one of the best schedules until Christmas.

Phil Harres, Holstein Kiel (Striker, 3M, 4%)

One of Holstein Kiel’s bright spots this season, Harres has a goal and an assist in four Bundesliga appearances. At just 3 million, he may be worth a shot for Kiel’s relegation battle against St. Pauli if you need a cheap striker.

Jonathan Burkardt, Mainz (Striker, 10M, 4%)

Burkardt took his league tally to seven goals last week and now faces a Hoffenheim side that, as mentioned above, have struggled defensively.

Patrik Schick, Bayer Leverkusen (Striker, 14M, 0%)

The Czech international has stepped up his game in the absence of Victor Boniface, with five goals in his last three games in all competitions. Breaking down Union’s defence can be difficult, but with the confidence Schick is playing with at the moment, he’s hard to stop. With Boniface sidelined, he should start every game between now and Christmas, and Leverkusen have a pretty favorable run of fixtures.
