#4 Sven Ulreich
With Manuel Neuer out injured for a large chunk of the season, second choice keeper Sven Ulreich has seen more game time than most expected at the start of the season. The 29-year-old former Stuttgart keeper has proven to be an able understudy, helping stabilise a Bayern backline in a turbulent season.
With his best years as a goalkeeper still ahead of him, it remains to be seen whether Ulreich will settle as an understudy again next year or move on when his contract ends in June, 2018.
Judging by his performances this season, he will have quite a few suitors if he decides to move on in search of regular first-team football.
