At 15:19: The Schalke had of course nothing against it, if you are also in this season again the top play. While Goretzka, sweepers, and Meyer, Schalke have left, with Mascarell, Serdar, Sane and Uth new level of quality in the squad. But what are the new goals you should spend, if one goes as a year-on-year, the second into the race?
At 15:16: New season first appearance for Wolfsburg and Schalke. It goes on like how in the last season, or the cards are shuffled?
