SCH Vs KOL Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Bottom placed Schalke revert to losing manners.
Schalke showed that their 4-0 triumph against Hoffenheim was nothing but a false shot. Far from utilising the momentum accrued from that result, the team was quick to revert to losing manners as it got trounced 3-1 by Frankfurt.
Yet another listless and lacklustre showing alluded to the fact that Schalke are indeed outright relegation favourites. The club has a long, bumpy and arduous road to traverse, one it looks incapable of navigating at the moment.
This is just the opposition 18th placed Koln would have wanted to come across as the club strives to claw its way out of the bottom three.
SCH Vs KOL Fantasy Probable Winner
Both the clubs have been nothing but sitting ducks and this clash will end in either side being satisfied with the one point.

Top Goal Scorer
Schalke
- Hoppe: 4 Goals
Koln
- Skhiri: 3 Goals
Goal-Keeper
He might have shipped in three goals the last time around but Ralf Fahrmann was in no way a culprit to those strikes.
Defenders
Much like him, Benjamin Stambouli refused to down tools as well as he waged a lone battle for his side.
Koln on the other hand will be represented by the partnership of Rafael Czichos and Sebastian Bornauw. The two are gritty names, players who have kept attacks at bay with their ball recoveries and aerial duels.
Midfielders
Koln’s top scorer with the three goals, Elyes Shkiri becomes the first player from the club to line up for us here. He’s accompanied by Ondrej Duda who not only has the most assists at two but has also worked his way to the two goals.
Salih Ozcan and Jan Thielman who has the two assists complete the set of picks from the club. Schalke will see Suat Serdar be inducted in our unit courtesy of his ability to act as the catalyst of the side’s attacking plays.
Strikers
Schalke’s top scorer with the four goals in his kitty, striker Matthew Hoppe retains his place in our setup. And much like the previous tie, he’s partnered by Mark Uth who has the two goals.
Captain And Vice-Captain
With two goals and two assists, we are opting for Duda as our captain while Skhiri is the vice-captain.
