Manager:
Pál Dárdai
Appointed Feb 2015
Hungarian – Former Hertha Berlin player in 1997
Last Season:
10th
Top league goal scorer was ex Chelsea Salomon Kalou (12)
Very Drawry team, 13 draws from 34 games. 2nd most draws in the league
Only won 5 home games from 17 all season (but drew 7)
They were in the Europa league and finished bottom of their group.
Key Players:
Marvin Plattenhardt – German LB – been there since 2014 – 7 Assists
Niklas Stark – German CB (only 23)
Davie Selke – German CF – (Only 23) – scored 14 in all comps last season – Bad injury recently (collapsed lung) out until October 2018.
Salomon Kalou – LW – 33 years old now (12 goals in league)
Transfers In:
Valentino Lazaro (22) – RW – From RB Salzburg £5.85m
Brought a few signings through from the youth team and a couple other smaller signing RB/CM/CF
Transfers Out:
Mitchell Weiser – RB – Bayern Leverkusen – £10.8m
Genki Haraguchi – LW – Hannover – 4m
Couple other free/loans
Verdict:
They haven’t done much business in the transfer window so remain pretty unchanged. They do need to get Selke fit as soon as possible otherwise they may struggle at the beginning of the season. Should still remain a decent midtable team.
Prediction:
12th
