By this point of the season, almost every active team has Harry Kane and Alejandro Grimaldo in it. Indeed, not starring them every week is almost a guarantee to lose rank.

So, instead of pointing out the well-known points machines, bundesliga.com will now shine the spotlight on those hidden gems that could help you climb up the table...

Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig), 12.7M

The pressure's off Leipzig, now that they're guaranteed UEFA Champions League football next season. They were already playing like their lives depended on it, going eight unbeaten in pursuit of a top-four finish, and will be determined to finish as high up the league ladder as mathematically possible. Loïs Openda has been key, but strike partner Benjamin Šeško is enjoying a mini purple patch of his own, with eight goals in 13 league matches since the end of January, and four in his previous four outings. A Friday trip to hot-and-cold Hoffenheim could well see that streak continue for a player currently owned by just one percent of managers.

Ridle Baku (Wolfsburg), 9.4M

Wolfsburg are almost home and hosed in their quest for top-flight safety. The Wolves can't finish lower than the relegation play-off spot, and will be safe if they better Mainz's result when they host relegated Darmstadt on Saturday afternoon, or they win and there's also a winner between Union Berlin and Bochum. Back-to-back victories over Bochum and Freiburg bode well, with the Wolfsburg players fighting to prove their worth as Ralph Hasenhüttl prepares to put his stamp on the squad over the summer. Ridle Baku is already a clear favourite, starting all five fixutres under the Austrian tactician in his preferred role as an attacking right winger. He scored in the 3-1 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach, and should find real joy running at the division's leakiest defence.

Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund), 13.8M

Dortmund lost to Leipzig last week, but did the Bundesliga proud by beating Paris Saint-Germain in their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday. The result ensures BVB will be among the German top tier's expanded five-team pool in next season's competition, whilst allowing head coach Edin Terzić to focus on getting the job done against PSG. Club legend Marco Reus is at the front of the queue of players set to be cycled in for what could be his penultimate home game at the Signal Iduna Park in a black-and-yellow shirt. It's a fixture that has proven to be to the ex-Dortmund captain's liking down the years. Across his previous 19 meetings with Augsburg, Reus has registered six goals and nine assists.

Marvin Ducksch (Werder Bremen), 13.7M

Werder Bremen haven't given up on playing European football next season. With three rounds of fixtures remaining, they're only three points adrift of seventh place, thanks in no small part to the goals of Marvin Ducksch. The Germany striker has scored 12 in the Bundesliga so far this term, including three in his previous two. He also got an assist in the 3-0 win at Augsburg, taking his total goal contribution to 19. A Ducksch in form typically means positive gains for Werder. On Matchday 32, it could also mean bad news for a lowly Gladbach side that doesn't travel very well at all (W2, D6, L7).

Marvin Ducksch is on course to set a new personal record for single-season Bundesliga goals.

Maximilian Wittek (Bochum), 3.4M

Bochum's relegation six-pointer at Union is the first of three Sunday fixtures. VfL have the momentum, too, after snapping an eight-game winless run with victory over Hoffenheim to climb out of the bottom three. Midfield talisman Kevin Stöger was the star of the show with a brace that translated into a weekend-leading 26 Fantasy points. The Ruhr outfit's next best performer in that regard was the 17-point Maximilian Wittek. Cheap as chips and a listed defender playing as an attacking winger, he has to be worth a punt against a Union side not only winless in five, but also looking very nervously over their shoulders at the drop zone.
