Therefore, it is that time of the year again: choosing the ‘Team of the Season.’ As always, it was incredibly choosing just 11 players. Some honourable mentions got really close but failed to make the final cut. So, with that sorted out, FootTheBall presents the Bundesliga Team of the Season for 2021-22.
Goalkeeper: Manuel Riemann
The veteran goalkeeper for Bochum recorded seven clean sheets from 31 appearances. However, its his high quality saving and ability with feet that really set him apart. Riemann is extremely active inside the penalty box. He stopped 10.5% of crosses (89 percentile) and 55.58 touches (99 percentile) per 90.

Moreover, Riemann has a save % of 71.8 alongside two defensive actions outside the penalty area per 90. That is not all, he averaged 18.4 yards in defensive actions which puts him in 98 percentile. A brilliant season encompassed by Bochum finishing a solid 13th after their return to the Bundesliga.
Right back: Joseph Scally

Borussia Monchengladbach trusted the 19-year-old enough to have him play 30 matches, including 20 starts. Scally applies 18.03 pressures per 90, which is good for the 93 percentile across Europe.
