Fantasy Bundesliga: Draft Team for Matchdays 5 to 9

**Goalkeepers:**

- **Alexander Schwolow, Mainz (5.97M, 3%)**: With first-choice goalkeeper Robin Zentner recovering from a hand injury, Schwolow will start in goal for Mainz. He’s a budget-friendly pick in a league where most players are expensive.

- **Tom Wisbereit, FC Augsburg (1M, 29%)**: Wisbereit serves as a placeholder and offers limited value. For those seeking two starting goalkeepers, considering options like Nicolas Kristof (7.8M, Elversberg) or Nahuel Noll (8.5M, Paderborn) may be wiser.

**Defenders:**

- **Daniel Svensson, Dortmund (10.25M, 10%)**: The Swedish wing-back is among the cheapest options to enter a strong Dortmund defense that has kept three clean sheets in four matches.

- **Josha Vagnoman, Stuttgart (7.22M, 26%)**: With the absence of Nikolas Nartey, Vagnoman is expected to maintain his starting position. His performance includes two goals and an assist, making him a viable pick given Stuttgart's favorable upcoming schedule.

- **Jordy Makengo, Freiburg (5.63M, 34%)**: Currently the fifth top-scoring defender in Fantasy Bundesliga, Makengo remains a key player for Freiburg, despite facing tough opponents like Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich soon.

- **Jahmai Simpson-Pusey (4.84M, 2%)**: Köln has a favorable fixture list, and Simpson-Pusey’s past performance of 151 points over his last two outings makes him a solid bench choice.

- **Koki Machida, Hoffenheim (3.47M, 0%)**: Following a return from an ACL injury, Machida is seen as a promising budget option amid favorable fixtures for Hoffenheim.

**Midfielders:**

- **Michael Olise, FC Bayern (37.75M, 31%)**: Olise stands out as a top choice, having amassed 784 points before the break and continuing his strong form with four goals and two assists for France.

- **Kostas Karetsas, Dortmund (15.88M, 9%)**: The young talent has emerged as a creative player for Dortmund, with recent minutes boosting his fitness ahead of a busy October.

- **Said El Mala, FC Köln (12.16M, 12%)**: While El Mala hasn't been at his best, he is anticipated to rebound, especially with a critical matchup against rivals Gladbach.

- **Yuito Suzuki, Freiburg (10.09M, 34%)**: A highly owned asset, Suzuki is among Freiburg's leading scorers with four goals, adding physicality to his gameplay.

- **Bambasé Conté, Hoffenheim (6.35M, 4%)**: Recently making his Germany debut, Conté provides an affordable entry into Hoffenheim’s midfield, looking to build on his two assists.

**Forwards:**

- **Serhou Guirassy, Dortmund (19.29M, 23%)**: Guirassy is pivotal in Dortmund’s attack, having scored two goals and assisted two more, demonstrating his potential.

- **Phillip Tietz, Mainz (12.13M, 19%)**: In his second season, Tietz is close to matching his last year’s scoring tally of five goals, showing strong form ahead of favorable fixtures.

- **Derry Scherhant, Freiburg (9.93M, 4%)**: Scherhant, while less involved than teammate Matanovic, has offered value with 259 points against Frankfurt, also recently performing for Germany.

**Matchday 5 lineup (3-4-3):** Schwolow – Svensson, Vagnoman, Makengo – Olise, Karetsas, Suzuki, El Mala – Scherhant, Guirassy, Tietz.
