The search for the most valuable Bundesliga professionals in the kicker manager game is in full swing. The club reporters present their favorites in terms of value for money.
What used to be planned with paper, pen and calculator on summer vacation has long since been digitalised: The current edition of the kicker manager game for the Bundesliga now requires less arithmetic skills, but still a lot of tact.
With the release of the Bundesliga special, hundreds of thousands of hobby managers across Germany are once again working on the best possible squad, which can be put together for 22 professionals in interactive mode for a budget of 42.5 million euros. Randal Kolo Muani for the top sum of 7.5 million euros? Jamal Musiala for 6.5 million? Gregor Kobel for 4.3 million? All hopefully safe point guarantors who will recoup their money over the course of the season. But the real appeal has always been the players, who cost comparatively little but still get starting XIs and scorer points.
Who follows Leipzig keeper Janis Blaswich, who scored a whopping 181 points last season for the equivalent of 0.7 million euros? Or Felix Nmecha, whose investment of 0.8 million euros was ultimately rewarded with 112 points? Mitchell Weiser, Julian Chabot, Eric Martel, Christopher Antwi-Adjei, all insider tips that brought over 100 points for less than 2.0 million – and thus potential suppliers of points in the price-performance ratio like Patrik Schick (20 points for 6 .5 million) or David Raum (68/4.0 million).
But who are the new insider tips? The kicker reporters present their favourites.
FC Bayern Munich
Min Jae Kim (26)
The new “monster” will be set in central defense and already indicated in his first few days what he brings to the table in addition to physical robustness: passing ability, precision and, on top of that, a goal threat.
kicker market value in the manager game: 4.7 million euros
Borussia Dortmund
Marcel Sabitzer (29)
In his first friendlies, the variable midfielder indicated that he could have an immediate impact. The Austrian should be on the eight – due to his offensive thinking and shooting strength he will also be good for one or the other goal.

RB Leipzig
Benjamin Sesco (20)
The goalscorer signed from Salzburg will probably need a bit of time to get used to at first, but could then become a hit.

SC Freiburg

kicker market value: 1.0 million
Bayer Leverkusen
Alexander Grimaldo (27)
The left-back promises a relatively large number of scorer points as a preparer and free-kick taker. Considered to be consistent and not prone to injury.

Eintracht Frankfurt
Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe (22)
The Frenchman is considered set and can let off steam more offensively in the future. From the eight, physique and speed are likely to overwhelm some defenders.
kicker market value: 2.2 million
VfL Wolfsburg
Vaclav Cerny (25)
The new winger got off to a great start last season. The Czech scored 13 times for Twente, put on 11 times and fired 97 shots at goal more than anyone else in the Eredivisie.

1.FSV Mainz 05

kicker market value: 2.6 million
Borussia Monchengladbach
Thomas Cvancara (22)
Cvancara is seeded on the nine and has already shown his goalscoring potential and finishing quality in the pre-season. Is good in the air, also works for the team. But: He is a newcomer in the Bundesliga.
kicker market value: 2.2 million
1. FC Cologne
Luca Waldschmidt (27)
The loanee from Wolfsburg scored in almost every preparatory game, liked his understanding of the game, acted very flexibly on offense, impressed with good start-up behavior and good teamwork with Davie Selke.
kicker market value: 1.6 million
TSG Hoffenheim
Pavel Kaderabek (31)
After a slump in the previous season, the Czech proved to be amazingly accurate in the tests. If he keeps his offensive drive, he could become a real points collector.

Werder Bremen
Niklas Stark (28)
After last year’s newcomer needed some time to start up, he is now set in the center of defence: as a tackle ace – and leading player. Has now been accepted into the team council.

VfL Bochum
Ivan Ordets (31)

kicker market value: 1.6 million
VfB Stuttgart
Deniz Undav (27)

kicker market value: 2.2 million
1. FC Heidenheim
Adrian Beck (26)
With his game intelligence and his feeling for space, he could be a guarantee for points in his second season for Heidenheim as a preparer and as an executor.
