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.

Thanks for reading Bundesliga Fantasy Football 2020/21
**For fantasy Bundesliga players**
Do not forget the deadline is tomorrow, less than 24 hours away now.
The screenshots above are updated.
Thanks Mito!
I’ve got an alarm set to take a look at this tomorrow.
:good:
Cheers Mito :good:
My midfielder captain with 39 points after a hatrick :declare:
I don’t think Sancho can better that :no:
@Ivan, I got lucky with Stindl, was a bit stuck on my transfer and just could not work it out where I got Guerreiro and was happy with the midfielder I would have to bring in along with him so a few minutes before the deadline I decided to go for Stindl in part because they played first. Better lucky than good sometimes and yeah no chance I am moving that star off him. What a fantastic performance.
Man you have a lot of Stuttgart players. Is that a triple up in the back? :excited:
Mito, Stuttgart were wildly expected to get a CS. Anyhow, I’ve got Gikiewicz to go who is another highly recommended GK as they play Bielefeld, the second worst defence in the league. Wonder should I gamble the 6 points from Kobel :scratch_one-s_head:
* Do you think is worth bringing one of Brekalo or Jeong for Endo with 5 points?
Yeah I definitely chance moving out Endo. In particular because Jeong and Brekalo play at different times, so you will have a chance to beat the five twice.
I am not sure you meant the worst defence in the league when talking about playing a keeper vs Bielefeld. I probably just take the six and be done with it. Gikiewicz might get a clean sheet but he is not likely to get a bunch more other than credit for minutes as Bielefeld in theory will not create a ton of chances so unlikely to get many if any save points. I have 5 from my keeper and I will probably stick with that. You know my stance on keepers, they a waste of space.
so I take 5-6 points from them and don’t switch them out.
Thanks Mito. I will stay with Kobel.
I’ll see if Jeong starts, nowadays he plays off the bench.
Maybe will take the risk and play Brekalo, even that Wolfsburg are visiting Bayern. They are good this season and there will be a few goals in this game.
Special shout out to @GM who is in the top 100 in the overall. Also congrats to K. Nordurland-Eystra (not sure who this member is) who is in the top 100. We currently have 3 players from our FF247 mini league in that top 100. We have a fourth league member right outside the top 100 only missing out by a point.
As for this week, Otienos !!! great score so far hope you finish just as strong.
GUYS!!!! don’t forget there is an early game today before the four late ones.
Play Wirtz v Cologne or Olmo v Hoffenheim ?
Similar plays, I probably take the player on the more in form team in terms of scoring and that be Wirtz, plus on paper Koln is the weaker opponent.
The pictures above are now updated, don’t forget the deadline tomorrow.
Oops had so much to do I forgot to star Angelino (21pts) and didn’t even put Lewy (20pts) on the field !!
