Watch: VfB Stuttgart's New Magic Triangle

Second in the table heading into Matchday 7, VfB Stuttgart are impressing these days as an attacking force above all – and with players who have hardly taken the most straightforward route into the limelight. For Deniz Undav, brace-bagger in the 2-0 weekend win at 1. FC Köln, it was via third-flight football and Belgium; current league top scorer Serhou Guirassy’s previous stint in the top flight, with the aforementioned Billy Goats, was distinctly underwhelming; while Silas also had his share of obstacles to overcome on his own football journey from DR Congo to the Bundesliga. Where all three are now shining with Stuttgart.
