Players to Watch for Fantasy Bundesliga Matchday 13
In this Fantasy Bundesliga piece, we’re spotlighting ten players that you might want to consider bringing into your squad ahead of Matchday 13. As a general guideline, we’ll focus on high-upside selections, highlighting players who provide substantial value as differentials or reliable heavy hitters.
Key Player Picks
Lutsharel Geertruida, RB Leipzig (Defender, 13.2M)
With David Raum and Benjamin Henrichs dealing with fitness rotations, Geertruida has established himself as a vital part of Leipzig’s backline. Known for his tactical flexibility, he often pushes high into the midfield, increasing his chances for assist points. Facing a transition-heavy opponent this week, his ball-recovery stats make him a premium defensive choice.
Matthias Ginter, Freiburg (Defender, 11.4M)
Ginter remains the heart of Freiburg’s defense. After a series of dominant aerial performances, he remains a major threat during set-pieces. Freiburg’s upcoming fixture list is favorable, and Ginter’s ability to rack up points through blocked shots and clean sheets makes him a standout pick for Matchday 13.
Jeremie Frimpong, Bayer Leverkusen (Defender, 20.1M)
While expensive, Frimpong is effectively a winger classified as a defender. Under Xabi Alonso, he continues to be one of the most productive players in the league. His expected goal involvement (xGI) is consistently among the highest for defenders, making him a “must-have” if you have the budget to spare.
Jae-sung Lee, Mainz (Midfielder, 8.9M)
Mainz has shown signs of tactical rejuvenation recently. Lee is the creative engine of the team, often finding pockets of space between the lines. With Mainz facing a side that struggles with lateral movement in defense, Lee’s late runs into the box offer excellent value for his mid-range price tag.
Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen (Midfielder, 22.5M)
The cornerstone of any elite Fantasy squad. Wirtz is the primary playmaker for the reigning champions and handles most set-piece duties. Even in tight games, his ability to generate “shot-creating actions” ensures a high floor for points every single Matchday.
Vincenzo Grifo, Freiburg (Midfielder, 16.8M)
Grifo is a Fantasy Bundesliga legend for a reason. As the designated penalty taker and cross specialist for Freiburg, he is a constant source of assists. His recent form has been clinical, and he remains one of the most reliable assets for managers looking for consistency.
Ritsu Doan, Freiburg (Midfielder, 12.7M)
For those looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to Grifo, Doan is the perfect pivot. He has been highly aggressive in 1v1 situations this season, earning significant points for successful dribbles. His goal-scoring threat from the right wing is at an all-time high.
Harry Kane, Bayern Munich (Striker, 20.5M)
It is impossible to ignore Kane when discussing Matchday picks. As the league’s top marksman, he is the safest captaincy choice available. Bayern’s attacking volume ensures that Kane receives multiple big chances per game, making him the most essential “heavy hitter” in the game.
Omar Marmoush, Eintracht Frankfurt (Striker, 14.2M)
Marmoush has been the breakout star of the season, consistently outperforming his price point. His explosive pace on the counter-attack makes him a nightmare for high-line defenses. Even against tough opposition, his ability to win fouls and take direct free-kicks keeps his point tally rising.
Victor Boniface, Bayer Leverkusen (Striker, 15.8M)
After being rotated in midweek fixtures, Boniface is expected to lead the line this weekend. His physicality allows him to dominate defenders in the box, and he leads the league in total shots taken. Against a defense that struggles with aerial duels, Boniface is primed for a multi-goal return.
