this is going to be another boring season i fear...
who do you guys think will be your biggest threat?
dortmund (no striker yet, shaky defence, no clear starting 11)
leipzig (lost a lot of quality in keita, had their struggles last season)
schalke (probably the most consistent amongst the 'rivals', but also lost their best player to you, and their overall quality is at least one tier below bayern's)
leverkusen (my dark horse this season, poor central midfield, but huge potential overall)
hoffenheim (didn't have to rebuild this season, didn't really improve their squad though)
gladbach (if they can compensate for losing vestergaard, and their new striker has an immediate impact maybe)
really hard to tell for me, my guess is that no one will seriously challenge you for the title, and it's going to be another close race for second as none of the 'challengers' looks significantly stronger than the others, would gladly be wrong though...
I’d be happy enough if those 6 teams will be top7 at the end of the season, as those are probably the ones that can represent Germany international and do solid
But I’m almost certain atleast one if not two out of these will fuck up and we get some surprise team like Düsseldorf (probably my dark horse to get atleast top9), Augsburg or even mainz on EL ranks
