Last year, it were performances of Gotze, Son and Draxler that thrilled the Bundesliga. Ginter (Freiburg), Arnold (Wolfsburg), Younes (Borussia M’gladbach) also showed that they have potential to become great. Who do you think would stepping and giving promising performances this season?
Max Meyer? Jonas Hofmann? Goretzka? Hojberg? Or anybody else?

Top 3 players that will make a tremendous impact on the Bundeslga this year:
1. Patrick Hermann - The 22 year old German u21 international is going to lead Borussia Mongladbach to a Europe spot. His intelligence and speed in the game will make it very hard to stop on the flanks. Surrounded by midfield Granit Xhaka, them two will show their true potential this upcoming season.
2. Jonas Hoffman - If Dortmund give him enough playing time im sure he will contend for an assist leader in the bundesliga. The only problem I have with Jonas Hoffman is that he will not be in the starting X11 and most likely be a rotational player unfortunately due to Dortmund experienced depth. A loan move to Eintracht Frankfurt or something is what the kid needs for a year or so.
3. Hojberg - he will not be a breakout performer if he does not go on loan this season. Just look at Bayern depth; they probably have the best depth in the world. I say a loan move would suit him. Remember he is still only 17. I do not see him playing a lot for Bayern.
4. Leon Goretzka - I know for a fact that he will get playing time because Schalke is known to have injury prone players certainly in the midfield. His intelligence for the game at such a young age is incredible. Leon Goretzka will definitely not get into the starting in the beginning of the season, but he will soon replace Jermaine jones for the spot in defensive midfield later in the season.
5. Max Meyer - this kid is another product of Schalke's magnificent academy. By Michel Bastos leaving and there being an opening for a spot that fit Max Meyer's role is just a dream come true for the kid. There is no chance that Schalke will get Xherdan Shaqiri so therefore Max Meyer will push it an extra mile for that spot. I see him getting a decent amount of playing time this season.
Julian Draxler - If this kid stays healthy I believe that he has a chance for bundesliga player of the year. Draxler's excellent shooting and vision for the game will make Schalke contenders for the Bundesliga title and maybe a shot in the Champions League Final. ( That may seem a bit too far-fetched because this team is so young and needs time to mature.
Yeah thats what I have to say...

Draxler for sure, especially after Bastos leaving, he has to take a more leader role this year.
Or Thiago Alcantra. Pure class
Toni Muller
Draxler for sure. it was great to see him live in dc when he played vs Usa.
