After an incredible season in the Bundesliga, Mark Flekken signed with Brentford from Freiburg. Being one of the key pieces in Freiburg’s defense, Flekken was one of the best Goalkeepers (GKs) in the Bundesliga and Europa League. It his expected that Flekken starts for Brentford since David Raya is close to being sold. Nevertheless, looking at the average ratings obtained, the 2022-2023 season was a great display of his qualities.
With the conclusion of the season, it is possible to conduct a player analysis that measures which players had the most positive impact on their team as well as the players with the best individual performances during the season. The ratings model that we made allows us to find that out. The players with the highest average ratings during the season are the players that fulfil the premises presented previously. For this analysis, the selected players are required to have a minimum of 1500 minutes over the season, not taking into account the type of defence used nor the position played.
Player of the Season: Bundesliga 22-23.
Through the average ratings obtained, we understand that J. Bellingham was the player with the highest average rating of this years Bundesliga. In our player standings, we can see that Jude Bellingham is followed by two Bayern players – J. Kimmich (Midfielder – M) and D. Upamencano (Centre-Back – CB) and two teammates – R. Guerreiro (Left Back – FB) and N. Schlotterbeck (Centre-Back – CB).
In an extraordinary season from J. Bellingham and J. Kimmich, the B. Dortmund player performed slightly better on average, making it possible to consider Bellingham the Bundesliga Player of the Season.
