Both are talented and versatile and will be nice to have for depth purposes during this set of games.Nmecha was rumored to be under consideration, but we did not think it was quite his time just yet.<strong>Predicted: Defense (8)</strong><strong>Actual: Defense (8)</strong><strong>Where we hit:</strong>Niklas Sule, Bayern MunichAntonio Rudiger, ChelseaMatthias Ginter, Borussia MönchengladbachJonas Hofmann, Borussia MönchengladbachRidle Baku, WolfsburgThilo Kehrer, Paris Saint-GermainNico Schlotterbeck, SC FreiburgDavid Raum, Hoffenheim<strong>Where we missed:</strong>Christian Günter, SC Freiburg<strong>Synopsis</strong>Baku seems to have rattled Flick a bit as this is the second consecutive break he was not selected. Granted, he was not great when Flick called him up, but it might be the subsequent controversy that emerged between Flick and Wolfsburg that did the most damage. Günter will make his return instead of Baku. We didn’t factor Günter into the running for this round of games, but he has done enough to force his way back (especially with all of the injuries).<strong>Predicted: Goalkeepers (3)</strong><strong>Actual: Goalkeepers (4)</strong><strong>Where we hit:</strong>Manuel Neuer, Bayern MunichMarc-Andre ter Stegen, <a href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com">FC Barcelona</a>Bernd Leno, <a href="https://theshortfuse.sbnation.com">Arsenal FC</a><strong>Where we missed:</strong>Kevin…
