Fantasy Bundesliga tips: 10 players to consider for Matchday 25

Yahoo06-03-2025

In this Fantasy Bundesliga article, we will not be focusing on the most obvious picks such as Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala.
Instead, we will highlight players with a maximum ownership percentage of 20%, who could offer great value as differentials for Matchday 25.
Jonas Urbig, FC Bayern (Goalkeeper, 1M, 0%)
Urbig replaced Manuel Neuer when the veteran picked up an injury against Bayer Leverkusen. At a cost of just 1 million, he's expected to be in goal for Bayern until at least the international break.
Danny da Costa, Mainz (Defender, 6M, 5%)
With an average of 217 points in his last five games, da Costa is currently one of the most in-form defenders in the game, despite costing a measly 6 million and being owned by just 5 percent. A great option if you need budget player at the back.
Konstatinos Koulierakis, Wolfsburg (Defender, 10M, 2%)
Costing 2 million more than fellow Wolfsburg defender Denis Vavro, Koulierakis has averaged just around 200 points per game in his last two outings. Wolfsburg continue their favorable run of fixtures at home to a St. Pauli side, who have failed to score in their last four matches, making him an intriguing differential.
Maximilian Mittelstädt, Stuttgart (Defender, 17M, 7%)
Speaking of in-form defenders, Mittelstädt is another who is in excellent form. The left-back has scored at least 197 points in each of his last four games, averaging 252 points in the process, and will now be unleashed against relegation-threatened Holstein Kiel.
Patrick Wimmer, Wolfsburg (Midfielder, 10M, 2%)
Wimmer was mentioned in last week's article and he certainly lived up to expectations, scoring 452 points after a brace. Owned by just 2 percent, the attacking midfielder is likely to be a popular player this week.
Angelo Stiller, Stuttgart (Midfielder, 11M, 10%)
Coming off a goal against FC Bayern, Stiller is in excellent form, averaging 247 points in his last three games. The central midfielder will be on the ball a lot against Holstein Kiel, with another 200-plus point haul looking very likely.
Joshua Kimmich, FC Bayern (Midfielder, 15M, 9%)
After missing last week's win over Stuttgart with a minor injury, Kimmich is the Bayern midfielder most likely to start at home to Bochum, while Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise could be rested ahead of next week's Champions League return leg against Bayer Leverkusen. The Germany captain has averaged an impressive 229 points per game this season and costs less than either of his aforementioned teammates.
Nick Woltemade, Stuttgart (Striker, 9M, 4%)
Woltemade has been one of Stuttgart's most consistent performers during a difficult spell for the Swabians. Costing just 9 million, on penalties for Stuttgart and playing against a Kiel side with a shaky backline, he could be a real steal this week.
Mohamed Amoura, Wolfsburg (Striker, 10M, 19%)
Amoura hasn't quite lived up to expectations in lately, although he did manage an assist and an acceptable 154 points last week. With Wolfsburg's nice run of fixtures continuing against St. Pauli, Augsburg, Heidenheim and Union, he still looks like a great player to own for the price.
Patrick Schick, Bayer Leverkusen (Striker, 14M, 5%)
After coming off the bench against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, Schick looks set to start against struggling Werder Bremen on Saturday. The Czech striker has scored in each of his last two Bundesliga appearances for Leverkusen, who will be looking to bounce back and gain some confidence ahead of the return leg against the Bavarians.

Leeds United ‘Close' to Signing 26-year-old Former Man City Forward

Leeds United Close in on Lukas Nmecha Deal as Premier League Preparations Intensify Fresh off their triumphant return to the Premier League, Leeds United appear to be moving shrewdly in the transfer market. The club is reportedly close to securing the free signing of Lukas Nmecha from Wolfsburg, a move that could prove both pragmatic and potentially inspired. With Daniel Farke looking to strengthen multiple areas of the squad ahead of a demanding top-flight campaign, Nmecha's arrival could tick several boxes for the newly promoted side. Smart Business in a Critical Summer Leeds United are not wasting time. With Patrick Bamford's future at Elland Road uncertain and speculation mounting over a possible exit, including interest from Wrexham, the Whites are in the market for fresh firepower. Regardless of Bamford's situation, Leeds have been proactive in identifying Nmecha as a viable option to bolster their attack. Advertisement 'Lukas Nmecha is close to joining Leeds United on a free transfer from Wolfsburg. 26-year-old ex-Manchester City attacker will be out of contract from 1 July,' reported journalist Ben Jacobs via X. Landing the German international on a free transfer would be a savvy piece of business. Not only does it offer a cost-effective solution, but it also leaves funds available to address other pressing needs in the squad, such as defensive reinforcements. Nmecha's Career in Need of Reboot Once considered a rising talent in Manchester City's youth ranks, Nmecha made only three senior appearances before moving on in search of more regular football. His £11 million move to Wolfsburg in 2021 was meant to signal a new chapter, but inconsistency and injury setbacks limited his impact. With 19 goals in 85 appearances, the numbers are not eye-catching, but the potential is still there. Advertisement At 26, Nmecha finds himself at a crossroads. A return to English football, especially under a manager like Farke who values tactical structure and attacking discipline, could help the striker rediscover the form that once made him a Premier League prospect. For Leeds United, the upside is significant, particularly given the low financial risk involved. Eyes on Reinforcements Beyond Attack While the Nmecha deal garners headlines, Leeds are working on multiple fronts. Defensive solidity will be paramount in the Premier League, and Daniel Farke seems fully aware. According to TEAMtalk's Rudy Galetti, talks are ongoing with Udinese regarding centre-back Jaka Bijol, with personal terms reportedly close to being finalised. The 26-year-old Slovenian, who boasts 63 international caps, is seen as a key target. Udinese are believed to be holding out for a fee in the region of €20 million (£17 million), which could represent Leeds' biggest outlay of the window if completed. Calculated Risk or Masterstroke? If Leeds United do manage to secure Lukas Nmecha on a free, they'll be acquiring a player who has experience in both the Bundesliga and international football. He may not arrive with fanfare, but his physical profile, tactical adaptability, and Premier League pedigree, however limited, offer reasons for optimism. For a club looking to consolidate after promotion rather than merely survive, these are the sort of calculated risks that can pay off in the long run. Leeds may just be crafting a squad with the resilience and versatility needed to thrive back in the top tier.
