Bayern II midseason player ratings: The attack

We have arrived at the stars of the show

Now that Bayern II have started their winter break, it is a great time to look back at the season so far and evaluate it. In this article, the individual performance of the members of Bayern Munich’s U-23 squad during the first half of the season will be graded from 1-6, with 1 being the best grade and 6 being the worst grade. This encompasses matchdays 1-22 and ignores participation in the UEFA Youth League for the U-19s. Not every player has played enough minutes to be fairly rated, however. so only players who have contested at least 270 minutes of game time will be evaluated. Without further ado, here are the ratings:

Guido Della Rovere: 1-
AM/RW, 17 years old, 626 minutes played, 1 goal, 5 assists

What a signing Guido Della Rovere has been so far. When Bayern signs an Italian, you know he has to be good. He is one of the two new signings in the squad, with the other of course completely overshadowing the former US Cremonense youth player. But the youngster does not need the hype of a long transfer saga to stand out. Della Rovere has impressed with his silky smooth skills, his vision, his dribbling and his phenomenal understanding of the game. Even a two month injury could do little to slow him down. He is still a very raw talent and he can make some very bad decisions here or there, but that is very understandable. After all, at 17, Della Rovere is one of the youngest players in the team. He is already impressive, but still has so much room to grow.

Emirhan Demircan: 2+
LW, 19 years old, 1045 minutes played, 4 goals, 5 assists

Emirhan Demircan has had a very curious season. Demircan is a very direct winger, who loves to take on opponents and cause havoc for the opposition. Having graduated from the U-19s in the summer, he immediately found his way into the starting XI and shone as Bayern II started the season superbly, managed to shine as Bayern’s best threat via his solo runs once the team started struggling only to be immediately dropped to the bench once all the fit attackers return. It was not necessarily an unjustified decision-this team is stacked with ridiculous attacking talent- but it was not the kind of reward Demircan’s strong season to date had deserved. Hopefully, the Turkish youth international will be able to battle his way back into starting XI contention for the second half of the season.

Younes Aitamer: NR
