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.

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.

Lost 3 points by keeping the star on Embolo but 137 overall is ok I think
Remember everybody gets a free wild card this week
Thanks Otieno.
Must set up an alert, I’ve already missed the deadline three times.
Any FBL players around?
Do I gamble 6 points and move the armband from Nkunku to Wirtz or Kostic?
Leverkusen play the worst team greuther furth.
U could change to wirtz.
I also have the same dilemma. 17 points isn’t terrible either. I did bring in schick this week so may just stick with nkunku 17 pts
No Reg, we have to go Wirtz.
Furth are bottom with 39 goals conceded and haven’t won a game so far.
Last gw bebou gave me a massive 35 pts vs greuther.
It was a bad GW for me. Lewa scored only 8 points. Bellingham turned out to be crocked and one of the defenders ended on -1. The only good was the GK on 17 points.
Schick 4 goals!
Schick 4 goals!
Lewandovski or Haaland for a captain in the Bayern vs Dortmund game
Tough choice: Lewa considering the baseline. Haaland will be good too with Kimmich missing and I assume Dortmund attack will be around him…will he last 90?
Yes, he wasn’t himself last week but usually recovers quickly. I might just go with him.
***REMINDER***
There is a midweek round in the FBL as well
Deadline: Today at 17:30 BST
Anyone thinking to gamble 8 points and move the armband from Lewa to Haaland?
No keeping Lewandowski. 23 is enough.
This week i went all out bayern against a poir Wolfsburg team. Got in gnabry and musiala too.
I’ve already made a mistake by changing the armband from Musiala to Nkunku. 9 points down the drain.
Haaland is tempting though. Hertha have conceded 33 goals so far.
Yeah u could try. My guess is haaland gets similar pts to lewa. Maybe bit more or less. We shall see.
Yep, I went for him. Let’s see….
