#3 Mark Uth - TSG Hoffenheim
Mark Uth has probably been the most impactful player in the first half of the season. Formerly known for his ability to make an impact from the bench, the Hoffenheim striker has successfully integrated himself as a first-team starter for Julian Nagelsmann's side this season.
His tally of nine goals in 16 matches, has somewhat overshadowed the absence of star striker Sandro Wagner this season, who has suffered from injury this term and is already on his way to FC Bayern in January.
Uth's devastating goal-scoring record accuracy has played a huge role in Hoffenheim's decent run this season and the 26-year-old could be another player to watch out for in the Bundesliga Ruckrunde.
However, with his current contract with the club expiring at the end of this season, Uth has been highly linked with a move away from the Rhein-Neckar Arena with Schalke leading the chase for the services of the 26-year-old Hoffenheim striker.
