Serhou Guirassy (VfB Stuttgart)

Having been named captain in the summer, Demirović has set a new club record for goals in a season - he is top goalscorer at Augsburg as well as being top assist provider.
Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen)
If he hadn't been injured in preparing for the AFCON, Leverkusen's lead striker would have made an even bigger splash this season. He remains top scorer at the champions despite missing 11 matches due to injury - and is a bona fide attacking livewire.
