Bundesliga Fantasy Football 2023/24
With the Bundesliga also nearing a start we figured we give it a home again that way you Bundesliga managers have a home to discuss bad transfers and terrible captaincy choices.
We won’t be posting a weekly article, but we will keep this article up and though it will disappear from the front of the site, just use the “Hot Topics” link on the right to find your way back to this chat.
We will do our best to post relevant tweets and links to pages that are helpful in fantasy on the chat below so you all have the best possible help.
Bundesliga Fantasy rules changes season- 2024/25
Unlike previous seasons, now you can select only 3 players from each team. That shouldn’t be a great shock as we are well used in the FPL.
New points system goes huge:
80 points for a goal from a forward, 100 for a midfielder and 120 for a defender. Wait, a massive 200 points if somehow your goalkeeper scores. Assists are rewarded from 40 to 150 points, depending on position. Penalty saves get 120, bonuses of 20 for a brace and 60 for a hatrick are added too.
For a first time, dribble earns you 5 points, challenge won, either on the air or the ground, gets 5 points as well. Every successful cross brings 7 points and 1 for every successful pass.
On the flipside:
Deduction of 20 points for a yellow card, get a second one and it’s another – 60. Miss a spot kick is -60, scoring an own goal -80, every foul prompts 5 and a massive -100 for a strait red card.

Thanks for reading Bundesliga Fantasy Football 2023/24
For all participants
The FBL starts tomorrow as well
Deadline 19:30 BST
Seems to me too many of the best midfielders are classed as forward
One hour left to the FBL deadline
Yes. All set up too
Lineups announced. Lets hope for an upset to make the Bundesliga interesting this year. BMG traditonally are strong vs Bayern at home.
Scully a nice enabler at 2m is my Star Defender today
I was hoping that Saar would be my sneaky cheap differential but he got benched so I had to switch back to the usual FCB stalwarts
Went with players I know from the last season as didn’t have time to research the new ones. Pretty much a template.
The good new is that everyone will have a free wildcard for GW 4
Yeah I dont spend 10 % on Bundesliga Fantasy that I spent on FPL.
But then with 3 free transfers each week not really required.
1-1 at HT. Who else but Lewandowski with the equaliser. Assist Kimmich
Yep, usually 10-15 minutes on Friday afternoon are enough to sort the team.
Knowing we get a wildcard after GW3 ends also makes it really easy as we don’t have to plan for very long.
Things are livelier in the Bundes.
Half time and already have 2 goals and an assist for my team.
35 points so far
Interesting to note for the BL followers: 5 subs still allowed this season unlike PL who allow only 3 subs
A bayern draw gives dortmund, leipzig, etc to perhaps make the BL a bit more competitive in terms of title race this year.
@Reg, I am not falling for that again.
