Son/Kiessling aren't a piece on Draxler/Hunty

Especially if Huntelaar stays fit. If not Schalke have master Szalai as back up, instead of the headless chicken, Teemu Pukki

1. Bayern
2. Dortmund
3. Schalke
4. Leverkusen
5. Hamburger
6. Freiburg
7. Gladbach
8. Hannover
9. Stuggart
10. Wolfsburg

That's my top 10 prediction. I'll do my full one when the thread is made

No Frankfurt?

If you look closely, you'll see I put them in

Oh shît, no I didn't.
Frankfurt above Hamburger

Wolfsburg will have a better season than last imo. Hannover will drop back, as too will Freiburg and Hamburg. Frankfurt will get top 7 with Gladbach and Wolfsburg. Hamburg, Hannover, Stuttgart and Freiburg will make up the rest of the 11 in that order

If you look closely, you'll see I put them in

Would love for Frankfurt to get 5th. Not sure if they'll do it but they have some great young players and have been fairly astute in their signings.

Plus, there's the Veh factor.

Frankfurt surprised me last season. Got some very good players in Meier, Jung, Rode and that other Japanese. Also Trapp has got to be one of the best young keepers in the League, last season he was phenominal

This is actually a nice little thread.
I'll post on here regularly

Trapp
Jung Russ Zambrano Oczipka
Rode Schwegler
Aigner Meier Inui
Joselu/Rosenthal

There's the makings of a very solid outfit there. I just hope Rode and Jung stay loyal to the club, since they've been here so long.

Trapp is a future international, for definite.

It's so bad that Bayern never left 1st spot after the first week
I'd there a Bundesliga fantasy football? That could be good

Apparently Rode agreed a deal with Bayern to join them on a free next year. Probably BS though


Schwegler is also one to watch, as well as the very highly rated youngster-Marc Stendera

Bayern are just too good. Far too much strength,

Apparently Rode agreed a deal with Bayern to join them on a free next year. Probably BS though

Man I hope not.

They don't even need Rode.

There's also that Matty Ginter for Freiburg.
Amazing prospect, almost certain German international

Getting rid of Heynckes was a big mistake imo. Why change a winning formula, Bayern should have waited until the end of the season to decide whether to go for Pep or not. I do not see Pep being as effective as Hen was personally, and no, this is not because of the Dortmund game

SKA doesn't agree with me on Ginter

I see him becoming better than Hummels myself

What did I say about Ginter? Might have just been winding you up.

I can understand the Heynckes decision, he was nearing the end of his career and Guardiola, one of the best young managers, was readily available. No brainer to bring him in, the CL is a bonus for them.

Grant is SKA!?

Chambers I only realised you were ST last night

Yeah, the windmill position does bring back a few memories for my 'clients'

This is actually a nice little thread.

That's something we appreciate and love to hear.

Leverkusen > Schalke for me as well. Not just because of league position either. As you say, the quality difference isn't a huge gap, but it is all of these players, Kiessling, Bender, Schurrle, Son that are going to do it/have done it for them. Schurrle will be a big loss but I can see Son having a good season, maybe not as good but still a strong season and I can see them finishing 3rd once again.
