Bundesliga Bundesliga 2
All 18 Bundesliga clubs were busy during the summer transfer window, but despite becoming Germany's record signing, FC Bayern Munich's <br><b>Javi Martinez</b> (second from r.) hasn't yet done enough to make it into bundesliga.com's Best XI most impressive signings so far. In goal is none other than former Germany No1 <b>Rene Adler</b>, who despite losing both of his opening matches with Hamburger SV, has <br>been a revelation in between the sticks, making more saves (14), including an Aaron Hunt penalty, than any other goalkeeper in the league. <b>Theodor Gebre Selassie</b> (second from left) may have scored against Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 1, but the stability he's brought to the right-hand <br>side of Bremen's back four, completing close to 90 per cent of his passes and winning 65.7 per cent of his challenges, has been far more important for Werder. Leverkusen's <b>Philipp Wollscheid</b> (m.) continues to improve with each passing season and hasn't lost any of the qualities that made him a great <br>centre-back at Nuremberg. The 23-year-old demonstrated his goal threat against Freiburg, but leads his team having won 77.4 per cent of his tackles. <b>Dante</b> (r.) hasn't missed a minute of action since joining FC Bayern in the summer. The Brazilian has transitioned seamlessly into the record titleholders' <br>system and has had more touches (212) than any other player in the league, as well as boasting the fifth best pass completion rate (95.2 per cent). Completing the backline is <b>Bastian Oczipka</b> (r.), who is currently enjoying the benefits of regular first team football at high-flying Frankfurt. The 23-year-old has <br>shown no fear going forward this season, sending in six crosses and creating seven goalscoring chances for team-mates and collecting one assist. Eintracht's <b>Stefan Aigner</b> (r.) hasn't blinked an eye since making the step up into the Bundesliga. The former 1860 Munich winger scored the <br>equaliser in Frankfurt's 2-1 win against Leverkusen, but considering he's run a total distance of 21.5km, it's his work ethic that has set him apart. Many are tipping <b>Hiroshi Kiyotake</b> to become the 'next Shinji Kagawa' and it's not difficult to see why when you compare their qualities. <br>The Japanese youngster has covered more ground (23.4km) than any other FCN player and has created ten goalscoring chances to boot. <b>Marco Reus</b> may not have taken to Borussia Dortmund's style of play the way some had hoped, but it hasn't stopped him from wreaking havoc in opposition backlines. The new BVB star has created twelve goalscoring chances for his side on top of scoring the opening goal of the 2012/13 Bundesliga season. Having rejoined Hannover in the summer, <b>Szabolcs Huszti</b> is performing like a player that never left. The fleet-footed winger has provided a constant <br>threat - as proven by the four assists he supplied in 96's 4-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on Matchday 2 - Mesut �zil was the last player to achieve that feat. Wolfsburg's <b>Bas Dost</b> is still finding his feet in Germany's top flight, but having already got a match-winning goal under his belt, the Dutchman will be <br>looking to push on up front for the Wolves. Reminiscent of former VfL striker Edin Dzeko, the 23-year-old's five attempts on goal have all been headers. Having scored five goals in his first four appearances (including cup competitions), a first for an FC Bayern new signing, <b>Mario Mandzukic</b> is now the only 'Super Mario' being talked about in Munich. His build-up play is just as important though as he's created twelve goalscoring chances and completed 87.5 per cent of his passes.
