A DFB Cup Final win marks the conclusion of a dramatic campaign filled with ups and downs for the men of Dortmund. Every match sees predictions and often critical summaries of player performances. Now that the season over, an evaluation is needed to judge the performances of each individual who made an appearance for Borussia Dortmund in the 2016-2017 Bundesliga campaign.

The player rating system for the Bundesliga campaign in this article series will be fairly simple and will go as follow:

A: Significant performance, changes any match by appearing
B: Always consistent
C: Endured good performances and bad performances
D: Just not good enough to be truly trusted in matches
F: Little to no positive impact, performances not worth the wages and needs to go

Now onto the third set of ratings, the midfielders.

*Note: Marco Reus, Andre Schurrle, and Ousmane Dembele have been added to the attacker’s ratings and will not feature in this set of ratings.
