Bundesliga Fantasy Football 2020/21
GW16 DEADLINE FRIDAY 15th January 19:30PM
With the Bundesliga seemingly taking over the bulk of the chat on site a couple months ago when it was the only fantasy game in town, we decided that we should give it a home for the season, after a bit of coaxing. 😉
We won’t be posting a weekly article, but we will update the screenshots and the links within this article so you are getting relevant info for each gameweek as it comes along. We did come up with a set piece table and a pair of trackers to help you out as you build your teams.

Bundesliga Fixture Tracker
Bundesliga Tracker we don’t know what to call
This screenshot could be a bit confusing at first. If you have played fantasy Bundesliga though then you will know about the importance of knowing when your players kickoff times actually are.
“As a manager you can substitute players at any time. If you remove a player that has already played during a matchday you will lose his points and you will not be able to put him back on the field during that match day. However, you can change your star players with players from your line-up as long as their club is yet to play.”
Basically you can manually sub players out if you do not like their score. You can also change captains (there are 3 – a Defender, a Midfielder and a Forward per GW) which really makes who you place on your bench and what transfers you make very important. This game is not just about buying the best players is about having the right guys lined up to replace them in case they have a bad game.
The tracker above tells you when certain teams play compared to others. Ideally you will have your players a bit spread out over the GW for the reasons mentioned above. When looking at it, any team with a 1 next to it plays first which during the GW and in most cases that is ideal. As you get to captain/play players that you can sub out easily if they don’t perform. Any teams with a 4 next to them is not ideal (part of it depends on the fixture difficulty) in terms of their slot, as they play last that GW. If they fail, you will be stuck with whatever score they give you.
Quick recap:
1 = Ideal, the team plays first with plenty of time to sub if the player doesn’t score well, plus the possibility of getting it right on the captaincy in the first game.
2 = Good, gives you subs or captains that are separate from most of your 15 man team and still have other fixtures after it in case the players in this fixture don’t perform.
* = Average, this is where most of your players will land on a weekly basis. You always want the best players, but if they all play at the same time it does limit your chances a bit to make subs and get the captaincy right.
4 = Not ideal, Simply said, if your player doesn’t perform here there is no more chances to sub. Any team with a 4 beside it plays last.
Remember to always look at this particular tracker in conjunction with the regular tracker. In most cases you would not transfer out a Lewandowski just because he plays last. Last season when I looked at stuff like this it was more for the mid level, punty types. As most of us will own a Lewy and Sancho (if he stays) in FBL, so how you score when compared to others many times comes down to how those value picks or slight differentials perform. If you are able to buy those players with better time slots on top of decent fixtures, well one would think you will have given your team a better chance of scoring well.

Good luck to absolutely everyone for Gameweek 1 from all at FF247!
Thanks for reading Bundesliga Fantasy Football 2020/21
Guys, is 15pts for star defender worth sticking with (I’m guessing it probably is).
What about 6pts from my GK? I could swap him out for Timo Horn, but literally have no idea who he is :hippo: I need FPL reference points! Is he more Karius than Allison? And is the defence in front of him more Pool or WBA? :help:
No Sancho
Chips, this a nightmare.
No Sancho, I have Jeong and Klimowicz both benched.
I will put the star on Klimowicz, last week he came in the last 20 minutes and scored. Hopefully he can do it again.
My star is on Reyna :wiggle:
Chipster, well done :good:
Reyana with hatrick of assists, so far 😯
Thanks Ivan – yes, I will be leaving the midfield star on Reyna this week now 😀
I have 32pts from my striker star on Haaland, but have Lewa and Gnabry playing today. I guess it’s worth sticking with Haaland for the star, right?
I will chance Pekarik against Bayern (in place of a 1pt defender I have on pitch) as I know I can always sub Pekarik out if he gets minus points.
Yes Chips, think I will stay with Haaland. Not sure how good Bayern will perform after they had a game in the German Cup only the other day.
IVAN, Glad to see someone I know playing FBL. You need to sub out your negative points players so they don’t subtract from your Overall GW score. :drinks: :drinks:
Hi Coquis, long time no see.
Yes, I will remove Jeong with the -1 and bring in Kimmich who will get the star. Not sure what to do in defence. Have Hummels on 14 points. Should I gamble 5 and move the star on Pavard :scratch_one-s_head:
Ivan, If you have any negative players on the field of play you must remove them now before they tabulate your finale score. This way you won’t get change the negative points. This is a FBL quirk.
Coquis, I’ve done it. Then a did a mistake later on. See my post below.
Bye, bye, Boyata and your-3. Hello +3 to my final score!!!! :buba:
Coquis, very impressed with my GK Gikiewicz.
Last week 15 points and this one 14
See here
Hey guys how’s your points in FBL
On 84 points so far
with 5 to play.
Lewy
Gnabry
Kimmich
Pekarik
Pervan
Btw thx Mito for the Kamada & Olmo tip, they’ve got me 31 points between them :yahoo:
Now …should I move the chip of Kamada 14 (21*) to Kimmich? :nono:
104 with Lewandowski, Pavard and Brekalo to play.
WoW
Top banana GP :superman:
Think you should swap your Haaland star to Lewy :yes:
It just shows what can happen if Dortmund bang.
They got me about 10 points between them last week!
I’m not sure I’m moving that star.
BigP
YOU WERE RIGHT!
I didn’t honestly ever fancy it though – I was happy with Haaland and I’m happy just to own Lewandowski.
And he’s just been booked now as well. Crazy!
139 points and out!
Very bad week for me. Only 57 points with 6 more to play.
I didn’t manage to do any transfers this GW.
57 Not too shabby, With 6 to play, should be decent :cool2:
Depends on what team Bayern will show up with.
They played in the German Cup on Thursday night.
I’ve got 90 with Lewy and Sule to play. Didn’t bother looking at it until Friday which meant Mr mid cappo stayed on Sancho and my mid sub is Sane!
Mehmedi starts for Wolfsburg, will try the star on him before Kimmich appears later on. Don’t know what to wish for as my GK is from Augsburg. Another CS will be nice, he was my highest scoring player last week with 15 points.
Bayern vs Hertha
*Pavard benched
And Lewa is back with 4 goals.
Did anyone took the risk to move the star from Haaland to him?
No Haaland, so I changed STAR from Kramaric to Lewa. Where FPL is going down and down, FBL is going good.
That is great GM :good:
I made a boo boo. Took out a defender with 2 points and wanted to replace him with Hernandez. Was 5 seconds late as the game has started and wouldn’t allow me to do it
