Bayer Leverkusen FIFA 22 Predictions - Defenders/Goalkeepers

Lukas Hradecky - 83->84


He had a strong season at both club and national level, we really missed his presence when he was injured. Had Finland got through to the knockout stages, they would have had only him to thank. Should get a small upgrade.


Andrey Lunev - ?->76


Didn't play as much this season as previous ones for Zenit, but nonetheless a title-winning season. Given his quality he still deserves a gold card.


Lennart Grill - 68->69


Being understudy to both Hradecky and Lomb, he didn't expect to get many chances this season but when he got them, he performed really well, notably when he kept a clean sheet vs Gladbach. That and his age should mean a small upgrade.


Niklas Lomb - 68->66


Well he was awful wasn't he? Almost singlehandedly derailed our season. Should get a significant downgrade.


Mitchell Weiser - 76->74


Barely featured last season and although his goal against Cologne was superb, there wasn't much else good to say about his season.


TImothy Fosu Mensah - 73->73


He neither featured much for Manchester United or ourselves, sustaining a serious injury just 7 games into his Werkself career. He didn't perform that badly however, hence he stays the same.


Jeremie Frimpong - 70->72


An extremely exciting addition, we are yet to see the best of him defensively but his daring, explosive runs were a joy to behold, especially when he first arrived. Last season he was one of the few who genuinely wanted to give his all, which is why he deserves a good upgrade.


Edmond Tapsoba - 78->82


Last season Tapsoba continued his meteoric rise, even being ranked the best defender in the Bundesliga by Kicker in the winter. His form did dip, like everyone else's, in the second half of the season but he is now our talisman and deserves a rating to fit.


Jonathan Tah - 79->79


Tah's season wasn't that bad in the end though of course we will never forget his horror show in the first tie against Bayern. His career had been in decline but now he seems on the up. He didn't do enough to change his rating however.


Odilon Kossounou - 67->73


Kossounou joined us after a great season with Brugge, winning the title and playing almost every game. He established himself as the best young defender in Belgium and one of the best in Europe, proving his worth against the likes of Mbappe and Haaland in the UCL which is why his current rating is nowhere near high enough.


Panagiotis Retsos - 74->73


Unfortunately for Retsos he had to suffer through another injury-plagued season and even when he was fit he barely featured, playing just 4 times for St Etienne. He should get downgraded as a result.


Daley Sinkgraven - 77->77


Sinkgraven had a rather average season again, never really impressing either in attack or defence. He did further establish his claim as our main left back however.


Wendell - 77 ->76


Wendell did not have a great season again. Like Sinkgraven he didn't really impress and is likely to leave anyway this summer.


Mitchell Bakker - 69->72


PSG's injury crisis gave Bakker a chance to shine in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Although the Parisian fans may have been gleeful after his exit, playing as often as he did for PSG is still nothing to be scoffed at hence a significant increase.
