#2 Kingsley Coman
Kingsley Coman, runner-up for the 2015 Golden Boy, ended 2015-16 season on a high note for Bayern. The following season, however, turned out to be a nightmare for the youngster. With Ancelotti favouring experience over youth, Coman found it difficult entering the starting eleven.
The 2017-18 season started no different, but the problem was graver this time. Coman's movement on the wings became predictable, and his blistering speed came at the expense of his ball-control. The promising winger, considered the successor of his countrymate Frank Ribery, was now seen as a liability.
Under Jupp Heynckes, however, Coman became one of the most productive players in the Bavarian side. His current tally of six goals and four assists is double of what he contributed last season. Reasons for this upsurge could vary from tactical changes, increased playing time, or even lessons from the Heynckes (who himself was a legendary winger).
What's clear is that Coman's performances have more than justified his place in the team, with Jupp Heynckes himself saying:
"Every game he gives me a reason to start him the game after."
