Bundesliga
Not too sure what to do next with your Fantasy team? bundesliga.com is here with some top tips for the coming weekend...
>>> Pick your Matchday 22 Fantasy squad here!
Eintracht Frankfurt, Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart are our four recommended teams to focus your Fantasy attentions on this weekend as Matchday 22 kicks off. Three of the four play at home and offer plenty of potential for high scores.
However, as always, watch out for possible squad rotations - especially given the packed fixture list in recent weeks, as Dortmund had a midweek UEFA Champions League knockout phase play-off to consider, too. But never fear, the Bundesliga app will keep you up to date!
Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Holstein Kiel
Frankfurt will be favourites at home to relegation-battling Holstein Kiel. Hugo Ekitiké (12M) currently has 12 league goals and four in his last five games, whilst also being a reliable penalty taker if the opportunity arises. Nathaniel Brown (5M) is also great value for money as he averages 220 points per round, while Rasmus Kristensen (10M) offers another reliable defensive option from the Eagles.

Playing at home against a struggling Hoffenheim side, there's the opportunity to score points with some key Bremen players. Mitchell Weiser (13M) has three goals and five assists this season and has a lot to offer going forward. Likewise, striker Marvin Ducksch (10M) is another attractive option with six goals and seven assists this term, while the creative Romano Schmid (10M) is in top form at the moment and could score your team valuable points.
Dortmund travel to bottom of the table Bochum on Saturday, when there'll be the possibilty to gather plenty of points if they perform as they did midweek against Sporting in the Champions League. Serhou Guirassy (19M) is their top scorer with nine goals this season and remains the side's penalty taker, making him a great option up top. Jamie Gittens (10M) is another brilliant attacking pick, and at just 10 million would provide outstanding value for money. Defensivley, Nico Schlotterbeck (14M) is a standout choice as his strong individual performances at the back continue to catch the eye.
An interesting cheaper defensive option would be new signing Daniel Svensson (7M), who started and impressed in the 3-0 win in Lisbon.

Stuttgart's home fixture against Wolfsburg promises to be an entertaining game. The outstanding defensive option from Sebastian Hoeneß's side is Maximilian Mittelstädt (17M), who has the highest average points total in the squad and is always a threat going forward. Midfielder Angelo Stiller (11M) provides a solid midfield option, while Deniz Undav (13M) is full of goals and assists, and therefore a great choice for the frontline. The in-form Nick Woltemade (9M) is a cheaper but no less useful alternative in attack.
