DOR Vs HOF Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Where many would be quick to credit Hoffenheim’s attack for their wins in the last couple of gameweek, Oliver Baumann’s worth to the side just can’t go ignored. The goal-keeper has indulged the side in specular performances, ones which have seen him concede just once in the last two encounters.
Defenders
The calibre and flair of Borussia Dortmund’s defence was eulogised the last time around. Coming across a luscious RB Leipzig defence, the side managed to emerge unscathed from that encounter, a cleansheet which left their opponents in tatters.
Adding to that display is the score of goals and assists the wingback pairing has amassed for the side this season. 10 assist man Achraf Hakimi has been so good that he’s managed to catch the eye of Inter Milan with the Italian side snaring him up for 40 million for the upcoming season.
He’s partnered by counterpart Raphael Guerreiro, a pairing which has been lauded for its attacking penchant. CB Manuel Akanji will wrap up the docket for us with us envisioning the home side embedding in place yet another shut down in their favour.
Elsewhere, Posch will ease his way into our side from the visiting team, a player whose tenacious displays at CB saw him catch our eye.
Midfielders
With more than 5 goal contributions this season, Julian Brandt has shown that he can eventually go down as a mainstay of Borussia Dortmund’s midfield. Where the home side will have just the singular player represent us, the opposition on the other hand will find representation in a dup.
A staggering 7 goals for Christoph will see him become the first pick from the side. The player has run circles around teams, emerging as a solid attacking option for the side and a mainstay of their hitting 7 goals in their last two wins.
He’s been providing pinch perfect assistance by Robert Skov who has the 6 assists, a player who has laid up the ball astutely for Christoph.
Strikers
Jadon Sancho might have blown cold for Borussia Dortmund off late but that won’t deter us from making him a must have pick for us. He’s topping his side’s scoring ranks with 17 goals and 16 assists, a player who has emerged as the spearhead of his side’s lethal attack.
Erling Haaland has now scored in two matches on the bounce for the home side to take his tally upto the 13 goals to make him the second pick from the side. With 7 goals and 13 assists, Thorgan Hazard will bring an end to our trio of picks from the side.
Captain And Vice-Captain
After scoring in two matches on the bounce, Haaland will captain our side while Sancho is the vice-captain.
