That means six of the 11 players come from Leverkusen, with one more from Borussia Dortmund and two each from Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart.
Tah has started 28 of the 31 Bundesliga games so far and has impressed as the defensive leader. Frimpong already featured in last year’s Team of the Season, while summer signing Grimaldo means the two wing-backs have a combined 39 goal contributions in the league.
Control in midfield comes from Xhaka, who also returned to Germany this season. Wirtz and another summer signing Boniface then provide the goals up front.
