Great value & plenty of points: top picks for fantasy football managers | OneFootball

The Bundesliga season is just around the corner, and in Germany, all amateur managers are busy assembling their teams in various leagues, such as the Bundesliga Fantasy App. With over 500 professionals to choose from, it's not easy to pick the most promising players. Here are a few big names you should definitely snap up and some tips with real bargains.

Expensive but Point-Scorers

The saying "quality has its price" also applies to the digital clones of Max Eberl. Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Jonathan Tah, or Joshua Kimmich should be at the top of every wish list. They are expensive, but if fit, they promise reliable points.

This also applies, with some reservations, to Serhou Guirassy and Angelo Stiller (injury-prone), Xavi Simons and Alejandro Grimaldo (possible transfers), or Vincenzo Grifo (Freiburg under triple load). In the Frankfurt striker's biotope, the (high) price-performance ratio should be right again for Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Doan.

Shooting Stars for Little Money

Many points for little money are the holy grail of every fantasy league. Due to transfers from the competition, there are two affordable starting goalkeepers with Mio Backhaus and Kaua Santos. Diant Ramaj also has a lot to offer in Heidenheim.

In the field, Johan Manzambi (Freiburg), Said El Mala (Köln), Can Uzun (Frankfurt), Marco Grüll (Werder), Ibrahim Maza (Leverkusen), Luca Jaquez (Stuttgart), Mert Kömür (Augsburg), or Yan Couto (Dortmund) are in the best position to make a breakthrough this year.

Can't Complain

Consistent players are also welcome in every team. Normally, players like Oliver Baumann (Hoffenheim), Patrick Mainka (Heidenheim), Edmund Tapsoba (Leverkusen), Franck Honorat (Gladbach), Timo Hübers (Köln), or Denis Vavro (Wolfsburg) are as reliable as a Swiss watch.

The Wildcards

As before every season, the Bundesliga also welcomes numerous newcomers in 2025. Whether they will succeed is difficult to assess beforehand, as is their market value. Definitely interesting are Luis Díaz (Bayern), Jobe Bellingham (BVB), Rômulo and Yohan Bakayoko (Leipzig), Yuito Suzuki (Freiburg), and Vinicius Souza (Wolfsburg).

Great Potential, Little Risk

There are also a few recommendations for the very tight manager's wallet, which can be divided into two categories: raw diamonds and injured stars. Currently not fit but with potential starting eleven chances are, for example, Benjamin Henrichs (Leipzig) or BVB captain Emre Can. Depending on the manager's game, a bargain can be made here. You need a bit more luck but an equally slim dollar for Assan Ouédraogo (Leipzig), Arijon Ibrahimovic (Heidenheim), or Patrice Covic (Bremen).

Of course, there can be more surprises in every season. Additionally, long-term injuries can render these suggestions useless in no time. However, those who are skeptical of high prices, rather keep their fingers off cellar teams, and critically read the above tips should at least not have anything to do with the last place.
