Which Werkself player stood out in the 2024/25 season? Could it be top striker Patrik Schick who was the top scorer for Leverkusen with 27 goals? Or playmaker Florian Wirtz, who was the best provider with 14 assists? Perhaps the midfield maestro Granit Xhaka might win this time or will a defender such as Jonathan Tah or Piero Hincapie come out on top? Or could Alejandro Grimaldo, Jeremie Frimpong or another Werkself player finish top? It's your choice.
