Yuito Suzuki's first professional hat-trick put him at the centre of the Bundesliga fantasy team of the week, while Michael Olise and Younes Ebnoutalib also made a strong opening-day case. Suzuki finished on 509 fantasy points, Ebnoutalib on 442 and Olise on 325, with the Matchday 1 standouts doing the damage through scoring bursts and all-round output.
Suzuki's hat-trick and the scoring surge
Suzuki's day stood out most. He scored all three of his attempts on goal in SC Freiburg's home win over Werder Bremen, and the first hat-trick of his professional career was the kind of return fantasy managers build teams around. His Bundesliga burst, 3 goals in 80 minutes, was the clearest single-player spike in the round.
Ebnoutalib was almost as eye-catching, even if his output came in a different way. He scored in Union Berlin's 3-3 draw at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, with his first hat-trick of the season including goals only 51 seconds apart between his first and second. That kind of quick-fire double is exactly why he ended Matchday 1 near the top of the fantasy table.
Olise's all-round Bayern impact
Olise's case is slightly different because he did not register an assist, but he still earned points for the new "goal created" category in Bayern München's opening 5-1 win over VfB Stuttgart. He also had six shots, level with three other players for the most across the matchday, which explains why his fantasy value went well beyond one isolated moment.
His opener was efficient too. Olise scored once in 92 minutes in Bayern's Bundesliga opener, and his season total already sits at 7 goal contributions across 8 appearances and 680 minutes in 2026 all comps. That mix of volume and direct involvement is why he belongs in the same conversation as the headline scorers from Matchday 1.
Suzuki's total of 3 Bundesliga goals from 1 appearance is the wildest number in the group, but Olise's spread of chances and Ebnoutalib's rapid scoring both show why the fantasy team of the week was built on individual impact rather than one dominant result. The next round will tell us whether the hot starts hold, but Matchday 1 belonged to three players who produced in very different ways.
