Axel Witsel
He proved to be a spectacular success, having signed with Dortmund last summer. His versatility allows Favre to use him in defensive positions as well as offensive ones. Against Augsburg, Favre's faith in Witsel as an offensive force paid off.
The Bundesliga is full of counter-attacking teams, waiting for the likes of Axel Witsel to make a mistake in their own half and allow them to capitalise, but the Belgian not only skillfully progressed the ball up the pitch but became integral to Dortmund's attacking play as well.
He found Sancho with a low cross to give Dortmund the lead, and curled in a cross from deep to spot Brandt and hand him his debut goal for Dortmund.
His ability to provide a base in midfield, sitting alongside Weigl, while also being able to use his range of passing and strength on the ball further up the pitch makes him a great asset to Favre.
