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.

SEVEN
This is hilarious :excited:
One thing is consistent……Schalke’s performance.
They have been on and off, but 8-0 :no:
And, there is still time for one more :yes:
73 from 3. Ich liebe Bundesliga.
102 here
Superb Ivan.
I was happy with just my three from Bayern and trying to balance out the rest of the squad.
That looks great though!
GP, that is true. Only one game under the belt. Things can change dramatically in the rest.
Things won’t change when it comes to one team overpowering the whole league, I have never played Bundesliga fantasy but you can have more than 3 players from one team? That’s way too easy, just get Bayern players and the rest will take care of itself, it’s very uninteresting league when you know which team will win it from the get-go
Zed, thanks for your feedback but you are wrong. Did you know that you can make changes in your team before the start of every game and you can see the lineups as well? This is not easy as you said, it’s called flexibility and fair play. Perhaps, one day FPL will change for better too, instead playing like a lottery and sweating every time whether you chosen player starts or not :wink2:
95 here
Well pleased :dance:
Popz!!!!
Great score, but why didn’t you captain a Bayern mid? If they did bad you could have switched it to Sancho.
Great going Ivan!!
Good start GP, a little disappointing that Pavard scored so little, but at least the other two captains are out of the way.
Like FPL, I started with half of all your points……. 50 from 3.
Oh dear, I’ve been so busy with work this week, and busy all day today with a friend who came to visit, that I completely missed the FBL deadline and never had a chance to read up on any tips or articles, or to fine tune my team from the original rabble I threw together about 3 weeks ago.
Was dreading opening the app to see my points, but somehow have scored 91pts already from four players :big-lol:
It can only go downhill from here. Pretty sure half of my squad aren’t even starters. Oh well :unknw:
😯
Guys – stick or twist on Pavard for star man defender?
Oh I’m changing that one Chipster.
I reckon you should too
With 9 points Pavard, definitely its a switch of STAR……but what to do with 15 points Goretzka?
Unless you have 4 bums in the midfield I be switching. At worst you will probably come out about even. Think you take that chance considering how early in the gameweek it is.
Agreed on Pavard
Going to switch seeing the lineups both def and mid.
Cheers guys :good:
Bundesliga question.
I know I am gonna gamble the star from Pavard to Hummels this evening but in the meantime which one shuld I try in the early games?
Hasebe at home against the newly promoted Bielefeld or Horn, at home as well, against Hoffenheim.
I’m going Hasebe Ivan. I read on the scout report yesterday that he likes a wander into midfield – I know it’s a stretch but it’s what I got
Unsure about the other guy.
Thanks GP, that was my initial thought :good:
If you have someone good lined up for later I probably take a chance on Horn since he is a fullback and he has more upside, if you don’t feel too good about your options for later, then Hasebe probably has the better floor based on opponent.
Cheers Mito. Will make my mind up when the lineups come out at 1.30.
Lineups are out for the next 5 games
