Profile

Neuer has been the Bayern goalkeeper since the 2011-12 season. The role has expanded to include the offensive fulcrum of the build-up phase, with the manager trusting him to play the high line and the sweeping role.

Recent form

The last six appearances are the cleanest read on current form. The shape of the role has been consistent across the recent fixtures, with minutes-per-match the most reliable proxy for selection security.

What we're watching

The selection picture for the next fixture is the focus. The role within the system has been consistent across the last six matches, with the manager using the player in the same third of the pitch.

  • Whether the role changes with the next opposition, or stays consistent with the recent pattern.
  • Whether the minutes load increases against deeper-lying opponents, where the late runs become the goal threat.
  • Whether the conditioning data points to a sustained minutes load or a rotation through the next three fixtures.
