Fantasy gems for Matchday 11

>>> Pick your Matchday 11 Fantasy squad here!

Matchday 11 is just around the corner, so take advantage of the unlimited transfers in the back of the international break to get your team firing this weekend. Here are five helpful tips to set you on your way.

Dayot Upamecano (DF, Bayern Munich), 12M

The Bayern centre-back is the second-highest scoring defender in the game but at 8M cheaper than leader Alejandro Grimaldo, you’re getting much more bang for your buck. Bayern have only conceded once on home turf in the Bundesliga this season, and opponents Augsburg have only scored twice on the road, all of which bodes well if you have the Frenchman in your team.

Nediljko Labrović (GK, Augsburg), 5M

St. Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj earned 209 points on Matchday 10 when his side faced Bayern, so it stands to reason that the Augsburg custodian can anticipate getting a similar haul. Labrović can expect a busy evening at the Allianz Arena but with 30 points awarded for every save, he’ll have the chance to quickly get into some big numbers.

Nnamdi Collins (DF, Eintracht Frankfurt), 4M

If you do splash some cash on Upamecano, bringing in Collins could provide a handy counterweight to balance the books in defence. He’s a bargain at 4M and with just four percent ownership, a very useful differential pick. The 20-year-old has started Frankfurt’s last two games, earning 347 and 104 points respectively. With the in-form Eagles unbeaten on home turf in all competitions this season and facing Werder Bremen at Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday, Collins could be a valuable addition to your squad.

Ermedin Demirović (FW, VfB Stuttgart), 12M

Stuttgart talisman Deniz Undav has been sidelined for the time being with injury, meaning Demirović is first in line to stake his claim for a place in the starting line-up. The 26-year-old scored five goals across the first six matchdays but has now gone close to seven weeks without finding the net for VfB. The Bosnia and Herzegovina be eager to end that drought against bottom club Bochum, whose robust and physical style under new coach Dieter Hecking also suits his game, and should help him chalk up the points. Just one percent of all Fantasy managers have picked Demirović, so he’s definitely worth a punt.

Pascal Groß (MD, Borussia Dortmund), 11M

From a calculated risk to a sure-fire banker, Groß is as reliable as they come in midfield. While Dortmund have been very hit and miss this season, they’ve won all five of their games at home and will be confident of continuing that run against a Freiburg side they have beaten in their last five meetings at Signal Iduna park by a combined scoreline of 18-2. With an average of 160 points per game and an accessible price tag, there a big gains to be had by bringing in the 33-year-old.
