Impact Endo has started all but one match in each of his three seasons with the Bundesliga and continues to improve. The midfielder is perhaps the most consistent part of a mixed bag Stuttgart side.

Silas Katompa Mvumpa - Earns major role Silas scored five times and assisted twice across 30 appearances (23 starts) in the 2022/23 Bundesliga.

Impact Silas missed most of 2021/22 with a knee injury but came out immediately as a starter in the new season. While he might not have lived up to the double-digit goals he managed before the injury, Silas still played a major part. The winger created 18 chances and took 43 shots, volume right in line with the 11-goal campaign. Silas has pre-season to continue to gel with new signing Sehrou Guirassy, who figures to lead the line in 2023/24.

Borna Sosa - Nine goal contributions again Sosa scored twice and assisted seven times in 25 appearances (22 starts) during the 2022/23 Bundesliga.

Impact Sosa has ended on nine goal contributions in each of his last three Bundesliga seasons, with one more goal each time. The wing-back is a rock-solid option on the left flank with plenty of upside offensively and the ability to do his duty defensively. Perhaps most importantly has been his consistently growing role on set-pieces, with 79 corners in 2022/23 a new career-high. Sosa is signed through the end of 2025 but has drawn interest from around Europe and has made it no secret he wants to play in the Champions League.
