Bundesliga Fantasy 24/25: Who Has The Worst Starting Fixtures?

Bundesliga Fantasy 24/25 is just around the corner so we begin our coverage for the new season right here. Our expert manager and contributor @paramorenumetal comes in to reveal the teams with the worst fixtures to start the season.

With Bundesliga Fantasy 24/25 approaching, taking a look at the teams with the worst start to the season could be hugely beneficial when it comes to planning. Playing the fixtures can be the difference to starting the new season poorly and starting the new season successfully.

1. Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg face all of the top three teams from the Bundesliga 2023/24 season within their first five matchdays. Given this tough schedule, it would be wise to avoid Wolfsburg players for your team until their fixtures become easier.

Despite their potential, the challenging early matchups against the league’s best teams make it a risky choice to rely on them in the initial phase of the season. Once they get through these tough games, Wolfsburg players might become better assets. But, until then, it’s better to look for other players.

2. Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel made a remarkable achievement by getting promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time ever. What an accomplishment! Despite this historic milestone, fantasy managers should exercise caution and avoid selecting Holstein Kiel players at the start of the 2024/25 season.

Newly promoted teams often face a steep learning curve, and it’s important to wait and see how they adjust to the challenges and demands of playing in the top tier. Monitoring their performance in the first few matches will provide valuable insight into their competitiveness and the value of their players. Until then, it’s safer to look for more established options.

3. Union Berlin

With only two wins in their last 12 matches and uncertainty still looming, Union Berlin finished just one point above the relegation playoff zone in the 2023/24 season. This narrow escape was largely thanks to their form in the first third of the season. Given their struggles in the latter part of the campaign, it would be wise to avoid selecting Union Berlin players at the start of the 2024/25 season.

Their concerning end-of-season form may continue. This makes it risky to rely on them for points early on. Looking at their performance in the first couple of matches will be key to determining if they have managed to overcome their late-season slump.

4. St Pauli

Similar to the reasons provided for avoiding Holstein Kiel players, it is advised to avoid selecting St. Pauli players at the start of the 2024/25 season. As a newly promoted team, St. Pauli will face a challenging adjustment period in the Bundesliga. It is advised to wait and see how they adapt to the increased level of competition before considering them for your fantasy team. However, unlike Holstein Kiel, St Pauli have Bundesliga experience, so the club have been there before.

5. Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen have a tricky start to the 2024/25 season, with two of their first five matchdays being home games against Dortmund and Bayern. These tougher fixtures make it advisable to be careful if you ars considering Werder Bremen players for your team early in the season.

Facing such opponents could impact their performance and limit their fantasy potential during these first few matches. Once they move past these difficult games, their players might become better options.
