With German bowl XLII Coming up this weekend, let’s take a look at the top players in the German Football league during the regular season.

Those All stars were voted at the end of the regular season by the various GFL coaches as well as league commentators Nicolas Martin, Christian Schimmel and Andreas Renner. Coaches were not allowed to vote for players on their own teams, and the players they voted for had to have played in more than 50% of their team’s matches. At heavy import positions (QB, WR, RB, CB, S) at least one voted player must be European.
