Marco Reus is growing significantly, but now has less potential than two plus-makers from Bavaria and Bremen. BVB’s next opponent has a battered top pointer in their ranks.
5. Emil Forsberg (RaBa Leipzig, 6,690,000, midfield, increase over the previous week: 1,220,000)
In his debut season 2016/17, Emil Forsberg scored a whopping 179 points. Comunio managers could remember this high phase after two goals and 10 and 13 points last remembered. The 30-year-old Swede, who is having a poor season overall, seems to be in good spirits at the moment.
So it’s stupid that Forsberg signed off with muscular problems after the 2-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. At least it doesn’t seem to be anything serious and there is no crack. For reasons of caution, Forsberg could still miss the top game on Friday evening.
4. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (Bayern Munich, 13,780,000, forward, increase from last week: 1,290,000)
After a strong end to the year, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting initially did 2023 above all else as a market value loser talk about yourself. A goal at the start of the 16th matchday was not followed by four games. Befitting his status, his reserve price went down a few million.
The advantage now: Bayern’s center forward is still comparatively cheap even after the end of the personal doldrums and twice 9 points. Choupo-Moting can certainly improve against Stuttgart and Augsburg. The point average of 5.88 also speaks for the 32-year-old.
3. Gil Dias (VfB Stuttgart, 4,830,000, forward, increase compared to last week: 1,310,000)
Only as a substitute on the 19th match day, it wasn’t long before Gil Dias was listed as a regular player under Bruno Labbadia. The winter new signing was particularly convincing in the 3-0 win against 1. FC Köln, where he scored 1-0 and scored 8 points, which is well worth seeing.
Overall, Dias has 4.25 points per game. It seems like a bargain has been landed with the left-footed player who has been signed for a million. At Comunio, the Portuguese is no longer cheap. In addition, strong opponents await him and VfB in Bayern, Frankfurt and Wolfsburg.
2. Niclas Füllkrug (Werder Bremen, 13,230,000, storm, increase compared to last week: 1,560,000)
After three goalless games and only 7 points, the market value of Niclas Füllkrug rushed down until exactly one week ago. Who then struck should have been particularly happy about the goal to 1-0 against Bochum. The market value upswing should therefore continue for the time being.
In the second half of the season there have also been four goals so far. With 14 goals, Füllkrug continues to lead the scorer list, which should always make him a man in demand. If you only look at the last five games, “Lücke” ranks fourth among the best forwards with 32 points.
1. Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund, 12,620,000, striker, increase on last week: 1,920,000)
“BVB is back,” the fans chanted more often recently. This also applies to Marco Reus after a slight start-up period. The captain was allowed to play four times in a row from the start after his injury-related absence, was able to get on the top scorers list against Hertha and has 19 points from two games. Now, with Leipzig, an opponent is just around the corner, against whom a 1: 4 home defeat from last season should be repaid.
In addition, Borussia Dortmund would like to remain at the top of the table after nine competitive wins this year. However, it remains to be seen how consistently Reus can score points. The aging identification figure should be evaluated from game to game. The top scorers, the Füllkrug and the Choupo-Moting, appear to be more promising options in the same price range.
