By this point of the season, almost every active team has Florian Wirtz in it. Indeed, not starring him when he's fit to play is almost a guarantee to lose rank.
So, instead of pointing out the well-known points machines, bundesliga.com will now shine the spotlight on those hidden gems that could help you climb up the table...
Daniel Svensson (Dortmund), 7m
Borussia Dortmund must beat relegated Holstein Kiel to secure UEFA Champions League football next season, while Daniel Svensson should be on a high in his first game after making his loan from Nordsjælland permanent. The Swede also lines up at wing-back, has contributed a goal and two assists since the turn of the year, and only costs 7m.
Thomas Müller (Bayern), 10m
Thomas Müller will play his last league game for Bayern at Hoffenheim ahead of this summer's FIFA Club World Cup, and is likely to get preferential treatment from his teammates, with chances aplenty created for him and perhaps even Harry Kane stepping aside from penalty duty. With a four percent ownership, Müller could well be worth one last punt.

Lasse Rieß (Mainz), 3m
Lasse Rieß figures to be the cheapest starting goalkeeper this week. Frank Feller (1m) has also had a run for Heidenheim, but they are optimistic Kevin Müller will return after concussion while Robin Zentner is yet to rejoin team training at Mainz following a thigh injury. Rieß scored 205 points in the 4-1 win at Bochum last Saturday, and whilst Bayer Leverkusen will be tougher opponents, a busy 'keeper is often a good one in Fantasy terms.
Mitchell Weiser (Bremen), 13m
Mitchell Weiser is the second-most in-form player in the game after Bayern's Michael Olise, averaging 291 points across his last four games. Werder Bremen are unlikely to make Europe but a big goal swing this weekend will keep the door ajar, and Die Grün-Weißen might fancy their chances against relegation-threatened Heidenheim…

Adrian Beck (Heidenheim), 6m
Having said that, Heidenheim are fighting for their Bundesliga lives, and could avoid the relegation play-off if they win and Bayern thrash Hoffenheim. Adrian Beck is perhaps their most likely source of goals after hitting a brace against Union Berlin last Saturday for a 416-point haul, and, handily, is listed as a 6m midfielder despite playing up front.
