Best differentials for Bundesliga Fantasy Matchday 8

The new season of German football continues which means the Fantasy game does too. Because of this we take a look at the best differentials for Bundesliga Fantasy Matchday 8 with the help of our expert manager and contributor @FPLPlatinum.

Looking at the best differentials for Bundesliga Fantasy Matchday 8 can be extremely beneficial for managers. Differentials are lowly owned players that if successful can help you gain rank and an edge over you mini-league rivals.

GK – Kevin Trapp – 11m, 9% owned, Hoffenheim (A)

Kevin Trapp, the current highest-scoring goalkeeper in the game, consistently demonstrates his value despite his higher cost. With an impressive average of eight points per game, he’s only surpassed by Jonas Omlin, who has a smaller sample size of two games but managed to notch up an assist.

While investing 11 million in a goalkeeper is substantial, Trapp offers a relatively low ownership rate and faces an opponent who will take shots in Hoffenheim. Additionally, his average of 3.5 saves per game further enhances his potential for earning points.

DEF – Julian Ryerson – 9.6m, 6% owned, Werder Bremen (H)

Making his second consecutive appearance in the differential article is Ryerson from Dortmund. Despite a 0.2m price increase and doubling his ownership, Ryerson remains an attractive differential choice for MD8. After delivering on last week’s recommendation with a goal, the Norwegian player gained credit from managers who trusted him.

Dortmund faces a highly favourable fixture against an out-of-form Werder Bremen at home. Although Dortmund have a history of underperforming in such matchups, it is still anticipated that they will secure a comfortable victory against Werder Bremen and maintain their unbeaten home record.

MID – Franck Honorat – 11.9m, 2% owned, FC Köln (A)

Honorat might be a promising option for MD8, especially in the away match against Köln. Priced at 11.9m with a 2% ownership, this French player is coming off a strong performance with a 12-point haul against Mainz. Despite BMG losing their top three players in the summer, Honorat has showcased stability throughout the season.

He has seamlessly integrated into Seoane’s 3-5-2 system, albeit with varying outcomes. Given BMG’s urgent need for points, Honorat’s role is crucial in their pursuit. With BMG likely to play offensively, Honorat stands a good chance of benefiting from the attacking opportunities.

FWD – Kingsley Coman – 13.8m, 1% owned, Mainz 05 (A)

This season offers a wealth of outstanding attacking choices. While Guirassy, Kane, and Boniface are prevalent selections for most teams, players like Sané, Kramarić, and Wind are also demonstrating goal-scoring prowess for their respective teams. In a sea of gifted forwards, Coman could stand out as a differential.

The French international has three goals/assists in six starts, and recently bagged a brace in Bayern’s 3-0 win over Freiburg. There is potential doubt if Coman starts, and he only averages 74 minutes per game this season, however Mainz is the type of fixture Bayern can thrive on, and they will look to capitalise on Coman’s good form while they’re at it. At only 1% owned, Coman could prove to be a massive differential for MD8.
