Team of the Season Predictions: Bundesliga
I delayed it as much as I possibly could, but let’s do this. Bundesliga time!
Hardest TOTS to predict for me, as there’s just too much choice. Don’t blame me when I’ll get low result for this TOTS:D
Also, I really like the reaction that Ligue 1 brought, as people said 22 out of 23 players were okay. We forget about Jorge and it’s all good:D
In this TOTS there will be many interesting cards, as always.
So let’s start.
Goalkeepers as always go first.
LukasHradecky fromEintracht Frankfurt is my first choice. Eintracht doing really well this season and battling for EL spot, and Hradecky is very important to them. Goalkeeper position is really hard in this league, as many people deserve TOTS, but there are only 2 spots.
IF Hradecky won’t get one- Pavlenka should get it. Pavlenka having a great season in Bremen.
2nd choice is more obvious one: Sven Ulreich. After Manuel Neuergot injured again, Ulreich stepped in gk spot. He had a rough start to a season, but after October he suddenly started playing amazingly. Getting few POTM in Bayern and overall making some amazing saves. Deserved TOTS.
Now, defenders. And it’s gonna be interesting.
Starting off with 2 obvious picks.
On the left side I have Phillip Max. 12 assists from Left back position. It’s actually amazing. Clear TOTS and one great card.
On the right side I have Joshua Kimmich. He started this year really strong and continued to perform overall really good throughout the season.
As for reserve choices for these positions I have Bastian Oczipka for Left Back position as he’s having a great season in a great Schalke squad, playing LBLWBLM, similar to last yearsKolasinac.
As for the right back I have Lukasz Piszcek. I really hope he’ll get TOTS, but it’s not really clear this season. But he still performs greatly most of the time in his matches for Borussia, even if Borussia doesn’t perform that well this season.
Center-backs are much harder.
There are, again, 2 clear choices: Mats Hummels and Naldo
Hummels having one amazing season. Probably one of the best for Center-backs. His performances are just exceptionally good. Clear starting spot.
Naldo is having great season. He’s 35 years old and been in Bundesliga forever, but he always improves his game. Having 5 goals and 2 assists to his name helps too.
Salif Sane is my first substitute choice for CB spot: Statistically best CB in Bundesliga. Hannover performs better than expected and even if they are in rough spot atm, they won’t get relegated and it’s Sane’s achievement. 3 goals, 1 assist and 7 MOTMs are just amazing for CB.
Benjamin Pavard is my 4th CB. Yougster from Stuttgart. He even got a call-up for his national squad. Amazing first season in Bundesliga and just really not hyped enough. Imo the next big CB transfer- will be him.
There are 2 choices that I think can sneak
in: Benjamin Hubner from Hoffenheim and DayotUpamecano.
Both are great CBs in good performing squads. Upamecano is another youngster from Leipzig and already performs amazingly well for his age.
Hubner is just great in Hoffenheim squad with 3 goals and 2 assists. And I’d really love any of those CBs to make it in TOTS.
Finished with defenders. It’s time for Central midfielders.
So..Let’s start with players NOT from Bayern.
Denis Zakaria having a great season in not so great M’gladbach squad. He’s young and praised by many people and overall performing from game to game, but it’s kinda wild-card guess and he might not get in.
Max Meyer from Schalke on other hand should get in. He switched position this season to more of a defensive player, but he performs amazingly well in that position. He doesn’t have an amazing stats to his name, but he’s unsung hero from Schalke.
Naby Keita? Naby Keita. Improved his game again. Again having a great season and just helps Leipzig so much. 5 goals, 5 assists helps his case. Would be an interesting TOTS!
Michael Gregoritsch takes CAM spot. 11 goals and 2 assists. What a great transfer for Augsburg. I feel sad as HSV fan, but Michael is just amazing player.
Now. It’s Bayern time. Javi Martinez came back to CDM spot under new-old manager and he really shines there. Amazing season for amazing player and would be an interesting TOTS for sure.
James Rodriguez is another player from Bayern. Back to his 13-14 season form and just amazing. Controlling matches on his own, performs from game to game and just amazing player. 5 goals and 9 assists. Even thohe’s on 15 games, I think he’ll get TOTS no matter what.
Let’s switch to wings and cover wingers in our TOTS predictions.
Marius Wolf is my first choice. He’s from Frankfurt and having a great season with 4+6 and just great for Eintracht.
Thorgan Hazard stepped up his game this season and became a leader for M’gladbah, while Raffaelgotinjured. Sadly. Younger Hazard is currently on 7 goals and 4 assists, but he might get few more goals closer to the end of the season.
Leon Bailey wonderful player with an amazing season to his name. With 9 goals and 5 assists he was the best player in the first half of Bundesliga and still performs amazingly well for Bayer and helping them contest a CL spot.
The last player from Schalke in my predictions is Daniel Caligiuri. He’s similar to Oszipka and mainly being played as RWB, but he attacks a lot more and currently having 5 goals and 5 assists which IMO is enough for TOTS.
Thomas Muller back this season. 7 goals, 9 assists, being played everywhere from CM to RW having an amazing season and clear TOTS.
Christian Pulisic or Caiuby can get be a DKT TOTS players.
Caiuby is currently on 5+5, but 4 players from Augsburg in this TOTW would be just too much.
Pulusic is having an average season, but still a hyped-up player, who can get TOTS.
Last, but not least. Strikers.
Robert Lewandowski is currently on 26 goals in 22 games. Yes. 26 in 22. Best TOTS in Bundesliga. Highest rated. And just a world-class player.
There are 4kinda similar to each other players in terms of stats. So let’s cover them all
Timo Werner: 11 goals and 5 assists
NiclasFullkrug: 11 goals and 2 assists
Nils Petersen: 13 goals and 1 assist
Alfred Finnbogason: 11 goals and 2 assists.
I want to choose 2 players out of those 4. In my opinion it’d be Werner and Petersen. If not for Petersen- Freiburg would be relegated. 13 goals is amazing return in such club.
Werner is just good overall. He helps his team by putting a lot of work and overall contributing each game.
Max Kruse is kinda wild-card pick. He’s on 6+6, and it’s not much for a ST, but he’s CF in Werder, so he might get TOTS or be a DKT player.
Overall, I covered much more than 24 players and I think it’s just hardest TOTS to predict and I dunno how EA will go with it this year.
But I hope I can get at least 20 players right or bit more. It would be a great result all things conceder.
Thank you for your time and next time we go with Eredivisie!
