Attackers
RW: Ousmane Dembele
Probably the toughest decision today was to pick between Arjen Robben, Kingsley Coman and Ousmane Dembele for the wide-right forward role.
France international Dembele has been a revelation since making his Rennes debut in November 2015. A summer move to Dortmund has not disappointed, and the player continues to improve on a weekly basis - often terrorising the Bundesliga defences with his mazy runs. 11 assists in his debut season along with 42 key passes make him a nightmare for opposition full-backs.
Dembele is well renowned for his dribbling ability, but once maturity creeps into his game, don't be surprised to see this player achieve Ballon d'Or status in years to come. With 6 goals to his name already this campaign, Dembele needs to contribute more as he blossoms into a world-class talent.
LW: Marco Reus
Unlike other superstars in the Borussia Dortmund side, Marco Reus opted to remain at the club despite reports linking him with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. 4 goals and 4 assists is well below Reus’ normal season average of 16 goal contributions, but having played only 13 games, his talent is evident. A 77% passing rate for a wide player is a staggering feat that not many can achieve.
Reus has been ravaged by injuries, however, the player is the best wideman in the Bundesliga over the past five years. Reus is so good he could play for almost any major side in world football - provided his injuries are contained.
ST: Robert Lewandowski
Since moving to Bayern in 2014, Lewandowski has become a ruthless force up front with his goalscoring record improving under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola, previously.
This season, the Polish international leads the goalscoring charts in the Bundesliga - with 26 goals along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Lewandowski edges the Gabon international due to his all round game and ability to be the difference maker in big games.
