Europe's Youngest Squads



Od 5 najmladjih timova u Ligama petice, iz Bundeslige cak 3 tima


Schalke: Average Age - 24.20

Of the youngest squads in Europe, Schalke are undoubtedly the biggest success story this season. Sitting 4th in the Bundesliga and with a realistic chance of maintaining a title challenge, Horst Heldt has come straight into the job and put his faith in the youth at the club with great effect.

Seven of the side's eleven most used players are aged 23 or under, while the likes Raul and Huntelaar have ensured a perfect blend of youth and experience, weighing in with 29 league goals between them. Three of the German outfit's biggest prospects (Joel Matip, Lewis Holtby and Kyriakos Papadopoulos) are already averaging over 7 in the WhoScored ratings and the future is clearly extremely bright at the Veltins-Arena




Nurnberg: Average Age - 24.13

Dieter Hecking lost two of his starlets in the summer in Mehmet Ekici (to Wolfsburg) and Ilkay Gundogan (to Dortmund) having finished the 2010/11 season in an excellent 6th place. The departures have certainly affected the side, who currently sit 12th in Germany's top league, though their young squad can only improve with time, provided that they avoid the drop this season.

A lack of experience at the back has been evident on occasion, but the young defenders at the club are arguably their most dependable players. Philipp Wollscheid has proven to be an excellent all round centre-back, excelling when it comes to long balls per game (8.5) and aerial success (85%) enough to earn a move to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer and leave a hole which may best be filled by an older alternative. The side are spearheaded by 22-year-old Tomas Pekhart, whose team high of 5 goals this season is the real issue at the Frankenstadion.


Hoffenheim: Average Age - 23.71

As the only side in Europe's top 5 leagues whose squad average under the age of 24, Hoffenheim fans will be hopeful of an exciting future ahead at the Rhein-Neckar Arena. Perhaps the biggest prospect at the club right now is 20-year-old Brazilian Roberto Firmino, whose threat from in behind the striker is renowned among Bundesliga bosses. With 5 goals to his name he is yet to register an assist despite completing more key passes per game than any teammate (1.6).

Among the rest of the regular starting XI, defensive midfielder Sebastien Rudy and winger Peniel Kokou-Mlapa are 21, the former's double-pivot partner Daniel Williams is 22 and centre-back Isaac Vorsah is 23. While the likes of Schalke tend to field a greater number of young players from the start, the entirety of the Hofefnheim squad under manager Holger Stanislawski have plenty of years ahead of them. The oldest player to be fielded by the German is starting keeper Tom Starke, who at 30 is a relative spring chicken when it comes to his playing position!
