A new Bundesliga season is upon us! Returning along with it, for its third year here at Bulinews, shall be our weekly “Tactics Talk” column that takes a look at the most salient talking points from all nine weekend fixtures. The 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign shall prove an odd one in that the league will only get through 15 rounds before the nine-week break associated with the historic winter World Cup. The early start to the season, combined with the knowledge that they essentially have a “second offseason” to make adjustments, means that all Bundesliga squads are effectively in embryonic form at this point. We’re still pleased to publish three preview sections taking a look at all 18 clubs set to contest the coming year in Germany’s top flight. The traditional “soft opening” weekend of the DFB Pokal at least furnishes us with some interesting lineups to consider. All top-tier clubs receive coverage. In our first installment, we’ll take a look at the state of Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig, Leverkusen, a Wolfsburg. This quintet constitutes the projected “Top Five” finishers.
