Bundesliga Fantasy Best Differentials for Matchday 18

We take a look at the Bundesliga Fantasy best differentials for Matchday 18 with the help of our expert manager and contributor @FPLPlatinum. He uses underlying stats, team and player form and other factors to help him.

Looking at the Bundesliga Fantasy best differentials for Matchday 18 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, 4% owned, Darmstadt (A)

Ranked as the fifth-highest scoring goalkeeper in the game, Kevin Trapp is poised for a promising matchup against Darmstadt in MD18. Trapp comes off a stellar 15-point performance in the previous MD. I think the Frankfurt goalkeeper will maintain his top form against Darmstadt.

Trapp has an average of seven points per game and a mere 4% ownership. With that in mind Trapp stands out as a valuable differential option. Fantasy managers looking to gain an edge in MD18 should keep a keen eye on him.

DEF – Dayot Upamecano – 11m, 6% owned, Werder Bremen (H)

Bayern’s commanding centre-back and French international, Dayot Upamecano, is set for a favourable fixture as Bayern welcome Werder Bremen in MD18. Upamecano showcased his prowess with a 10-point performance in his last match. Fantasy managers can anticipate a continuation of his stellar form in MD18.

Remarkably Upamecano has just 6% total ownership. Because of that and the above he stands as an underrated gem for managers looking to bolster their defensive line-up.

MID – Exequiel Palacios – 11.1m, 3% owned, RB Leipzig (A)

This season the midfield template appears quite fixed. Because of this creating opportunities for differentials is the key to regaining lost rank! Exequiel Palacios emerges as a compelling choice in this landscape. Fresh off an extraordinary 21-point performance away to Augsburg, Palacios not only shone brightly but also demonstrated the potential to be a game changer in midfield.

With an already decent average of seven points per game and with a modest 3% ownership, Palacios seems poised to become the secret weapon that savvy managers need to boost their rank. As the season unfolds, keep a close eye on Palacios; he might just be the differential that transforms your team!

FWD – Andrej Kramarić – 14.3m, 1% owned, Freiburg (A)

This season, the majority of active managers currently often opt for the front three of Openda, Kane, and Sane. This is understandable given their higher ownership rates. However, for those daring to take the differential route, consider the alternative in Andrej Kramarić.

With a remarkably low ownership of just 1%, Kramarić stands out as a unique choice. What sets him apart is not only his differentiator status but also his consistency. He has been maintaining a neat average of eight points per game. For managers seeking to shake things up and potentially gain an edge, Kramarić could be the strategic differential to consider.
