Player Recommendations for Matchday 4
Jordy Makengo, Freiburg (Defender, 3.99M, 0%)
Makengo, valued at only 3.99 million, recently entered the starting eleven for Freiburg, stepping in for captain Christian Günter. He showcased a strong performance last week, scoring 206 points. Following Freiburg’s initial victory of the season against Stuttgart and his solid display at left-back, the young defender is poised to retain his starting position against Werder, making him a fantastic budget option.
Miro Muheim, Hamburger SV (Defender, 8.68M, 6%)
While selecting a Hamburger SV defender may evoke skepticism due to their winless start, this week’s matchup against Heidenheim presents a different challenge. Both teams are in a rough patch, leading to expectations of a close encounter. Miro Muheim has emerged as HSV’s top Fantasy Bundesliga performer, averaging a commendable 169 points per game as a wing-back. His ability in duels and contributions on set pieces could make him a valuable asset this matchday.
Willi Orban, RB Leipzig (Defender, 12.81M, 13%)
Following their significant defeat to Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig has regrouped, achieving consecutive clean sheets. Central to this defensive resurgence is Orban, whose formidable presence in duels has been vital. He has averaged 278 points over the past two games, establishing himself as a dependable option moving forward.
Alejandro Grimaldo, Bayer Leverkusen (Defender, 19.81M, 21%)
Those who overlooked Grimaldo last week likely regretted it, as he netted two direct free-kick goals against Eintracht Frankfurt. His impressive total of 436 points from Matchday 1 suggests his performance wasn’t a one-off. Currently, he stands out as a premier defensive choice. With Leverkusen set to host struggling Borussia Mönchengladbach, excluding Grimaldo could prove to be a costly decision.
Jan-Niklas Beste, Freiburg (Midfielder, 5.14M, 0%)
Beste made his first Bundesliga appearance this season against Stuttgart, recording a respectable 146 points, and is expected to continue in the starting lineup following Freiburg’s triumph. His previous contributions at Heidenheim, consisting of eight goals and 13 assists in the last campaign, indicate that at his low price and low ownership, he could be a worthwhile gamble.
Christoph Baumgartner, RB Leipzig (Midfielder, 8.31M, 2%)
After scoring 324 points against Heidenheim, Baumgartner delivered another satisfactory performance against 1. FC Köln, with 186 points. With Köln just conceding three goals to Wolfsburg, the attacking midfielder represents great value with his pricing.
Ritsu Doan, Eintracht Frankfurt (Midfielder, 16.32M, 22%)
Following their loss to Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt will look to recover as they face a lackluster Union Berlin. Doan, who has already made his mark this season with two goals and an assist, remains an excellent choice for fantasy managers.
Igor Matanovic, Freiburg (Striker, 4.59M, 0%)
Matanovic made a notable entrance in his Bundesliga debut, scoring two goals against Stuttgart. His promising performance is expected to earn him a starting role this week, giving him a confidence boost.
Jamie Leweling, Stuttgart (Striker, 8.68M, 3%)
Leweling has maintained an average of 226 points per game, emerging as one of Stuttgart’s standout players in a challenging season. With favorable fixtures on the horizon for the Swabians, now may be an opportune moment to add the German international to your team.
Patrik Schick, Bayer Leverkusen (Striker, 11.67M, 18%)
After scoring his third league goal this season against Eintracht Frankfurt, Schick, priced at 11.67 million, may be undervalued. Given his expectancy to lead Leverkusen’s attack, he is likely to play a significant role in their upcoming matches.
