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.
Where to join > Fantasy Bundesliga Site the site is still not open for the upcoming season, but you can register now if you wish. We suspect that it will open up in the next few days.

Surely this one is self explanatory. We will do our best to update it as we go along.
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
Bundesliga fantasy is open now. You can set your team.
Woo-hoo
We are spoilt having Lewy at ‘only’ 18M after paying 25+ when we joined last season
He will have 100% ownership I assume.
For my quick first draft I’ve gone 3-5-2
Lewy – Haaland
Reyna – Zacharia – Eggestein – Kostic- Gnabry
Hinteregger – Kimmich – Upamecano
Kobel
with only Tapsoba (and 3x1m) on the bench
@Otieno, with the position changes I assume that you will have to adjust your team since it looks like you have 4 forwards now and possibly only 4 defenders.
Quite correct thanks Mito. Gnabry has been reclassified a FWD and Kimmich is now MF since I picked the team. That’s a nuisance :dash:
Positions changed on these players.
Now Gnabry: MID ➡️ FOR
Kimmich: DEF ➡️ MID
Thx for this Mito
I had know idea about German football until I played FBL through lockdown
Looking forward too having another crack at it.
Mito I need a cheap goalie, like 4m cheap, …is Shoubert a starter?
This is what I’ve got so far.
I don’t think Schubert will start, but could be wrong. We need the preseason to play out a bit more. They start a week after fpl does. Closer to GW1 we should know some cheap GK options.
Ok ta
Could not find a 4m starter…..5m looks min.
At the moment I’ve got Luthe and Kobel (each 5m) in rotation. Haven’t decided whether this is the best tactic, or to upgrade to just one premium GK or even to rely on only one cheapo and spend the money elsewhere.
I usually find the two cheapest possible and rotate them if possible.
FBL: Is there anyway I can find last season’s fantasy points of Bundesliga players?
I can’t remember if they have ever had it before the season starts.
Well now that fpl has started it is time for us FBLers to start focusing on our GW1 team. I am going to update the set pieces screenshot later today.
Yes Mito, it is high time. We need to find more info for the new promoted teams.
I had a go creating a team last week, but really am clueless about German football :wacko:
They’re all here in FPL hehe
Ah, look what popped up from down under.
How is it going Dan
Chips, I will mail you a quick briefing in the next couple of days 😉
I’m building it slowly Ivan 😉
I see, must be a new resolution. Going with the herd and captaining Auba :wink2:
Who do you want me to cap? Soucek?
:haha: Kane for me. Starting early with the adventures
You need to update the link to your team Ivan.
And please can you check mine is linked correctly.
I have Kane but Fulham was too tempting. In fact, I might captain whoever is playing them.
Chips, yours is fine. I will do mine now, thanks :good:
