Old and aging, he will be used as a utility player and let go at the end of the season.

The ex-captain has lost his pace and strength but still remains a useful back-up. If he reduces his wages about 50 % he will stay at the club otherwise he will be released.
S.Bender

Hard, fast and aggressive. He has brilliant stats and ability to play as a Holding Midfielder. His prone ness to throw himself in unneeded tackles has made him injury prone, but with discipline he will soon eclipse his Chelsea bound Brother.
Central-Midfielders (Quality Position – Depth can be increased)
N. Sahin

He has returned after a failed move to Madrid, and the son of Iduna Park is a welcome addition. Brilliant at dictating the tempo and playing long passes, he will rule the roster from the back. If he can add speed to his game, he will be one of the best Box to Box Midfielder.
M. Jojic

The youngster with bags of potential will have to contend with a back-up role for a season or two. He will be a backup in attacking mid rather than defensive. He can be a brilliant Shadow Striker with his good tackling and marking skills.
I. Gundogan

Players can fade and how fast. Gem of German Midfield, coveted by the world now on one is talking about him. He will be given time to gain his fitness. He is the holder, destroyer and creator in one. Best of all midfielders.
Wingers/Attacking Midfielders (Well stocked)
M. Reus

He was a coup when he was signed and I hope he remains true to his loyalty to the club. The boyhood Dortmund fan has exploded onto the World Football and is coveted by every top team. Brilliant at left, center and up top. He is my team’s new go to man.
Kuba

He has got pace and a strong foot and brilliant crossing ability. The polish destroyer has a brilliant work-rate. If he can work along with Piszczek, left hands will have to run back home.
K. Grokreutz

Dortmunds utility guy. He can play almost anywhere and plays good at every position. Main Back-up to Reus and Piszczek.
P. Aubmeyang

He is blessed with explosive pace. With improved finishing he will be my first choice forward. I plan to use him as a Right Hand Inside forward.
J. Hoffman

The youngster will mostly be shipped out due to being crowded out. He is my eventual replacement for Kuba as he is already slowing down. A season with First Hand league experience will be best for him.
H. Mkhtiaryan

The Armenian has deceived to impress so far but has enjoyed moments of brilliance. As the lone natural hole player, he will be tasked to run things and tick things along. Can he finally show his talent to the world?
Strikers (Needs a leader)
C. Immobile
View attachment 350339
A lesser quality Lewandowski, Immobile has raw potential. He can run, create and score. With age on his side, the young Italian can make himself first choice.
Ji Dong-Won

Free transfer from Augsburg will be given a chance to impress. If he doesn’t he will be sold.
A. Ramos
View attachment 350337
His strength makes him the perfect foil for a running and dribbling Dortmund attack line. He can hold the ball and lay them off for his team-mates. Can he turn up for the big club though?
