93 play in Germany and 21 abroad. By league, the Bundesliga has the most (40), followed by the 2. Bundesliga (35). By club, Eintracht Braunschweig and VfB Stuttgart have the most, 5 each. If you need someone now, Tom Bischof (Bayern Munich) is already rated 79 at 21. The youngest with 80+ potential is Wael Mohya, 17, with 81. On a tight budget, Niklas Swider (Viktoria Köln) has 80 potential for an estimated €725K.
