Not only a super-sub
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s free-scoring form has seen Ramos watch much of this campaign from the bench. With the African Player of the Year granted compassionate leave after the passing of his grandfather, Ramos led the line from the start for only the third time in the current Bundesliga season at the WWK ARENA. The remaining 17 of his 20 appearances have been as a substitute. Three of Ramos’ five goals have been scored as a substitute - only Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski, with seven, has scored more from the bench. Despite starting fewer games than last season, Ramos has already picked up three more goals and one more assist than he managed in the entire 2014/15 campaign.
