Nuri Sahin

The Turkish fan favorite has battled a recent career of injury issues; this year was unfortunately no different. When Sahin was fit, in his mere five appearances, he proved once again why he is worth keeping around.

Sahin looked to be the second most influential midfielder, only behind Julian Weigl. Nuri Sahin achieved a very impressive near 90% pass completion rate and was just all around solid this season.

The only downside to Sahin’s Bundesliga campaign? Well, he is probably the biggest reason Thomas Tuchel got sacked.

Player Grade: B
