#3 Kingsley Coman

When it comes to underrated players, Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman is right there at the top of the list.

The 24-year-old Frenchman has already won 21 titles, doing so with three of Europe's elite clubs - Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

Though the fleet-footed forward is not a prolific goal-scorer, he tends to make an impact in big games.

He scored the only goal for Bayern Munich in the Champions League final last season against PSG. In the process, Coman became the first player in the history of the competition to score against a former club in the final.

This season, after a spell in the sidelines after testing positive for COVID-19, Kingsley Coman has been in fine form in front of goal. He has scored five goals and bagged ten assists in 18 appearances in 1170 minutes across all competitions.


#2 Thomas Muller

Thomas Muller, the self-proclaimed Raumdeuter or interpreter of space, has been his usual brilliant self this season.

This season, apart from his contributions up front, Muller has also made his presence felt in the Bayern Munich defensive third.

Muller has scored ten goals and provided as many assists across all competitions. Against Freiburg, he had a hand in both Bayern Munich goals to help his side open up a lead atop the Bundesliga table.

Muller has stepped up in the injury-enforced absence of Kimmich. He has had 1.8 tackles per game this season, which is more than that of two defensive midfielders - Barcelona's Sergio Busquets and Real Madrid's Casemiro.


#1 Robert Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski is arguably the best goal-scorer in the game at the moment.

The Bayern Munich striker is miles ahead in the race for this season's European Golden Shoe, having netted 23 times already.

With five Bundesliga assists, he has been involved in a league goal roughly every 50 minutes this campaign.

Considering his blistering goal-scoring exploits this season, Lewandowski is well on course to break Gerd Muller's nearly five-decade-old record of most goals (40 in 1971-72) in a Bundesliga campaign.
