Kevin Trapp returns between the posts for his 7th term in Black and White. Trapp's fiery leadership and intensive style helped lead the Eagles to their best season in almost three decades. While posting highs for his tenure in Frankfurt in wins, and playing in every game except the final game of the season, Trapp had a very strange season. Statistically, this wasn't one of Trapp's better years. His save percentage (66.4%) was the second-lowest of his career and only slightly better than 2020's (64.4%). Trapp's clean sheet performance of 12.1% was the lowest since his first season as a starter for F.C. Kaiserslautern at the age of 21. However, to anyone who actually watched the games, Trapp had a stellar year. His work won games and saved dross from the hands of losses, regardless of what the statistics say. It was also good enough to get him a call-up to the National Team. His seven save performance against Leipzig on Match Day 25 secured a point. On multiple occasions during that game Trapp found himself 1v1 with RB attackers, and every single time he came away with a stop. It took a rebound and second shot to beat him by a completely unmarked Emil Forsburg while Trapp was trying to simply get off the ground after stopping a blast from Tyler Adams. This doesn't even account for the times Yousef Poulson blew right by Eintracht's backline or found open space in the middle and fired a shot off target.
Center back has to be the most intriguing position on the team. Mostly, because it greatly depends on how this team lines up. In a 3 back setting Evan N'Dicka, Martin Hinterigger, and Tuta form a solid backline. The depth beyond that is a major concern. Stefan Ilsanker played really well on the backline during Hinti's absence but hasn't shown the ability to shut down Bundesliga-level attackers on a week-in/week-out basis. Makoto Hasebe can fill still spot start on the backline on occasion, but this has to be matchup driven as he lacks the size and speed to compete with both big strikers (Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Wout Weghorst, etc.) and pacey attackers. Almamy Toure has also filled in on the backline and performed well in the past two seasons. In the four-back formation that Glasner has flashed in the preseason friendlies, N'Dicka has moved to left-back. The youngsters of Iroere and Otto have shown flashes this preseason, but both lack recognition and technique that would allow them to compete consistently.
This is one of the deepest, most experienced positions in the squad for the Eagles this year. Danny Da Costa seemed rejuvenated by his move to Mainz mid-year during the 2020/21 campaign, and really helped spark Mainz's resurgence. He should be a lockdown starter at right-back for most of the year and has looked tremendous for Glasner this preseason. With Evan N'Dicka's long, rangy frame and athleticism, the pair should be able to compete with the majority of squads in the Bundesliga. Where they lack is pace, and against the likes of Bayern's Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane, and an overlapping Alphonso Davies can cause problems if they aren't tactically sound. The Bundesliga has tons of lightning-fast wings. Stuttgart's Silas Wamangituka, Leverkusen's Leon Bailey, and others are more than capable of blowing by anyone on our backline if we are pushing too high or giving the ball away in the midfield. Behind them, Toure, Durm, and Lenz are dependable options that are extremely solid and tactically sound defenders, although they offer little to the attack. There's always the dependable and versatile Timothy Chandler there as well, who is capable of the spot start at both this position and right-wing as well.
One of the two most concerning positions on the roster. Sow and Rode are quality, solid Bundesliga players. However, there's not much depth behind these two and the depth at midfield is the same tandem as the depth at Center Back. Eintracht could have really used an upgrade at this position in the offseason. If one of the two misses an extended period of time due to injury this year there isn't a dependable backup to rely on. Steffen Zuber can play anywhere in the midfield and could hold down the fort for a short period of time if need be, but Eintracht really needs to find another Defensive Midfielder in the next Transfer Window.
With Daichi Kamada, Amin Younes, Aymen Barkok, Steven Zuber, and Ajden Hrustic all more than capable of filling this position, Eintracht are loaded with forward midfielders. While Kamada can drive you crazy at times, he also finds teammates for goals and has been one of the better chance creating midfielders in the Bundesliga for the past two seasons. Younes completely transformed Eintracht's attack a season ago. He's terrific in tight spaces and extremely dangerous on both the pass and shot. His back-post blast against Bayern was magical, and when he went down late in the year The Eagles' attack became extremely stagnant. Younes brings an energy that seems to feed the team, and guys run knowing he'll make the most of the space they create. Barkok is a solid player, and Ajden Hurstic showed terrific promise over the last few weeks, in particular with his seated goal vs. Mainz to secure a point in the 85th minute. This is one of the few positions that Eintracht has depth and quality but could change quickly if the rumors that have been swirling about Kamada and Younes come to fruition.
Wings:
Filip Kostic, Fabio Blanco, Martin Pecar, Timmy Chandler, Ajden Hrustic
Filip Kostic is the engine that drives this train. He's one of the most lethal wing players in Europe, much less the Bundesliga, and he never stops working. His 621 crosses over the last three seasons leads the Bundesliga by a mile, and there's not anyone who is a close second. Kostic tracks back like a madman, he sprints the sideline, takes on defenders, blasts goals, and racks up assists. The entire offense depends on his threat on the outside, and he is the heart and soul of this attack. Racking up 35 assists in Adi Hutter's system, only Jadon Sancho (41) and Thomas Muller (49) have outpaced him in league play over the last three years. With Kostic, Frankfurt has a rock on the left-wing. The question is who will play opposite him? Three years ago it was Danny Da Costa, who was an excellent compliment. Last year, Erik Durm held down the duties, but Eintracht offered almost nothing down the right side for most of the year. Will it be Blanco? Hrustic? Will Chandler be able to hold down the duties? Steven Zuber? Does Aymen Barkok slide over and win the job there? There hasn't been a clear-cut winner in the pre-season, but one of them needs to step up and make a consistent impact.
This is Borre's job to lose. He showed the same type of movement and knack of finding space in front of the goal that Andre Silva brought to Eintracht the last two years. While Borre doesn't have great size, he has tremendous instinct and a surprising pace. While he doesn't have top-end speed like Timo Werner or Erling Haaland, he anticipates his runs really well. The 25-year-old Columbian Striker has 74 goals and 23 assists in 212 career games spanning all competitions, including 11 goals in 1300 minutes during the 2019-20 campaign. While his finishing is a long way from being able to replace Silva's productivity, he's a dangerous threat in the middle of the field the entire time he's on the field. Paciência is the closest to Glasner's ideal #9 on the roster. Glasner has utilized a big, strong, physical and talented Center Forward to spearhead his attack for the Wolves. Paciência is a far cry from Wout Weghorst but is a capable fill-in, can come off the bench, and carry the load for a short time if there is an injury situation. Ache looks to have made considerable strides in his off-ball runs and finishing during this summer's Olympic games. The youngster Ali Akman, touted as one of Turkey's next emerging stars, signed a four-year contract on a free before the season was even over. The move created a lot of controversy in the press, and Akman reported to Frankfurt before his deal was even up. A versatile forward who tallied 10 goals and 4 assists in just over 1700 minutes in the Turkish second division. Eintracht has a good balance of pace, size, finishing, and young talent on this year's squad. While Silva's productivity is impossible to replace, it won't need to be. This group is good enough to compete in both the Bundesliga and Europa League at the same time.
Synopsis:
2021 has a chance to be another wonderful year. Glasner will have this as one of the better defensive teams in the Bundesliga, although I don't think they will finish second in the league as Wolfsburg did a year ago. They will play fast, up-tempo, and there will be plenty of goal opportunities funneling through Kostic and Kamada. Eintracht has enough depth in areas to make good runs in both the Pokal and Europa League this year, although we are still waiting to see who they will play in the group stage. The key this year will be how well they can keep Kevin Trapp protected. The goals will come, but the defense has to solidify.
Prediction: Eintracht will battle for the fourth position yet again this year, but in the end will fall back into a Europa League Spot. Look for them to finish 5th for the second year in a row. They will make it out of the group in Europa, and past the first round of the knockout stage. Glasner will want to make an impression, so look for Eintracht to make a push all the way to the Quarter Finals of the DFB Pokal.
Key Stretch: Match Days 12-18, facing Freiburg, Union Berlin, Hoffenheim, Leverkusen, Gladbach, Mainz, and then kicking off the Rückrunde with a rematch vs. Dortmund. This is a stretch that could make or break Eintracht's hopes of repeating in Europe, all while kicking off the Europa League Schedule at the same time.

The team 2021/22
2020/2021 Overview:
It was mostly a magical, record-breaking season for Eintracht......mostly. After a somewhat shaky and disappointing start through the first 12 games of the season (posting a 2-8-2 record), the Eagles took flight. Winners of nine out of ten (28 points out of 30) from weeks 13-22 Adi Hutter's team took hold of a Champion's League Position by outscoring their opponents 26-8 over this span, with only a 2-2 draw against Freiburg on Match Day 17, only three days after dominating Schalke 3-1 at home. Eintracht turned right around and blasted Armenia Bielefeld 5-1 three days later, going undefeated playing three games in six days. The run was spearheaded by Andre Silva, who knocked home 9 goals over this ten-game span. Eintracht came back to Earth, with a 1:2 loss to Werder Bremen (Matchday 23) and posting draws against Stuttgart (1:1 - Matchday 24) and Leipzig (1:1 - Matchday 25). The Eintracht attack exploded over the next three weeks as they looked like the best attacking side in Germany, crushing Union Berlin (5:2), Borussia Dortmund (2:1), and VfL Wolfsburg (4:3) to make it seem Eintracht's first-ever Champions League appearance was all but locked up.
Every Bundesliga follower knows what happened next. Adi Hutter went full-on Benedict Arnold, as word dropped that he was leaving for Borussia Monchengladbach in the days leading up to the game. The wheels fell off the Champions League Bus, as a defense that was steady all season long suddenly had gaping holes that opponents took full advantage of. The defense was never exactly spectacular, but the back 3 protected Kevin Trapp well enough all season long to keep opponents to 1 goal. But Gladbach (4:0) Leverkusen (3:1) and the lowly Schalke (4:3) accounted for the same number of goals that Eintracht had allowed in January, February and March combined. The faltering defense, as well as Borussia Dortmund's end of the year resurgence, pushed Eintracht out of a Champion's League position. Eintracht battled injuries all season long. Filip Kostic's knee injury in Matchday 2's 3:1 win over Hertha Berlin kept him out of 5 games (including the 5:0 loss to Bayern Munich on Matchday 5) and he struggled to find footing for a few weeks on return. Almamy Toure went down with a hip injury on Matchday 24, after being a rock in the Frankfurt defense all season. Martin Hinterigger's deep-thigh bruise was soo bad he needed several weeks off (Matchdays 24-29) plus Oma's chicken soup to recover. There were many bright notes in the 2020/2021 campaign, despite the disappointing ending. Eintracht qualified for European play based on their final Bundesliga position for the first time in 25 years. Their 60 points accumulated was a club record for the top flight. The 5th place finish was the highest since the '91/'92 league year. The Eagles won 16 games, the third most in Club History and the most since Dragoslav Steponovich worked the touchline at Der Waldstadion. Andre Silva tied a club record with 28 goals (2nd in the league); Daichi Kamada (12) and Filip Kostic (14) both posted double-digit assist totals, which placed them 2nd and 3rd in Bundesliga play. The high octane attack and gritty defense improved their goal differential by +17 over the previous campaign. The season saw the Eagles take down BVB, Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg, and posting two draws against Leipzig. There was soo much to be excited about, but it all got drowned out in the noise of the final seven Matchdays. The free-flowing attack for most of the season was electric, and while there are new people in the front office, a new trainer on the touchline, and a new striker up top, the vast majority of this club remains intact.
There are two main questions for the Eagles this year: (1) who's going to score goals? (2) how will Oliver Glasner line up? The tactics should be very similar to what we saw under Adi Hutter for the last three years. Oliver Glasner loves to press early and often, resulting in quick and direct play once the ball is won back. While Die Adler's roster might shape up very differently than what Glasner had in Wolfsburg, some common threads will carry over. The high pressing schemes and direct attack will look very familiar to the fans who have watched Eintracht over the last three years, but Glasner will simultaneously look to solidify the backline. Glasner is a solid defensive tactician, but Wolfsburg's main advantage is to attack from the front. In attack, Glasner loves to play direct, deep and out of the back. With Hinti's ability to pass the ball through the lines and Kostic's ability to run, Eintracht will look to strike quick on the counterattack all year long. "Tempo, Tempo, Tempo" has been the theme of training camp, as "pace of play" will be key towards The Eagles Success.

Position Outlook:
Goalkeeper
Kevin Trapp, Jens Grahl, Diant Ramaj. Kevin Trapp returns between the posts for his 7th term in Black and White. Trapp's fiery leadership and intensive style helped lead the Eagles to their best season in almost three decades. While posting highs for his tenure in Frankfurt in wins, and playing in every game except the final game of the season, Trapp had a very strange season. Statistically, this wasn't one of Trapp's better years. His save percentage (66.4%) was the second-lowest of his career and only slightly better than 2020's (64.4%). Trapp's clean sheet performance of 12.1% was the lowest since his first season as a starter for F.C. Kaiserslautern at the age of 21. However, to anyone who actually watched the games, Trapp had a stellar year. His work won games and saved dross from the hands of losses, regardless of what the statistics say. It was also good enough to get him a call-up to the National Team. His seven save performance against Leipzig on Match Day 25 secured a point. On multiple occasions during that game Trapp found himself 1v1 with RB attackers, and every single time he came away with a stop. It took a rebound and second shot to beat him by a completely unmarked Emil Forsburg while Trapp was trying to simply get off the ground after stopping a blast from Tyler Adams. This doesn't even account for the times Yousef Poulson blew right by Eintracht's backline or found open space in the middle and fired a shot off target.
Central Defense:
Evan N’Dicka, Martin Hinteregger, Makato Hasebe,Tuta, Omoruyi Irorere, Fynn Otto Center back has to be the most intriguing position on the team. Mostly, because it greatly depends on how this team lines up. In a 3 back setting Evan N'Dicka, Martin Hinterigger, and Tuta form a solid backline. The depth beyond that is a major concern. Stefan Ilsanker played really well on the backline during Hinti's absence but hasn't shown the ability to shut down Bundesliga-level attackers on a week-in/week-out basis. Makoto Hasebe can fill still spot start on the backline on occasion, but this has to be matchup driven as he lacks the size and speed to compete with both big strikers (Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Wout Weghorst, etc.) and pacey attackers. Almamy Toure has also filled in on the backline and performed well in the past two seasons. In the four-back formation that Glasner has flashed in the preseason friendlies, N'Dicka has moved to left-back. The youngsters of Iroere and Otto have shown flashes this preseason, but both lack recognition and technique that would allow them to compete consistently.
At times last year, the backline left Kevin Trapp on an island. It was not uncommon for any of them to push too high with the ball, only to have a turnover leaving the back completely exposed. Over the final 5 games of the year, there were massive holes that teams such as Schalke Gladbach, and Leverkusen exposed. This is something that Glasner will almost certainly address scheme-wise as he did with Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg's numbers in tackles and pressures were almost identical to Eintracht's last season, the biggest difference is that Wolfsburg's front four of Weghorst, Maximilian Arnold, Xavier Schlager, and Yannick Gerhardt all placed among the top 15 in the Bundesliga in the total number of pressures. Weghorst (581) surpassed Andre Silva (343) in terms of defending from the front, and their high press made it extremely hard to get the ball past midfield. Weghorst also did a great job of holding up opposing counter-attacks by simply putting enough pressure on the ball that the pass went sideways instead of downfield. This allowed his fullbacks and center-backs the time to get deep and reshape the backline. We've seen this in the pre-season as well, and the backline should be in a position to keep Kevin Trapp clean on a more consistent basis this year. Although adding one more veteran on this backline wouldn't hurt, Eintracht should have just enough depth here to be fine competing in multiple competitions this year.
Full Backs:
Danny Da Costa, Evan N'Dicka, Timothy Chandler, Erik Durm, Almamy Toure, Christopher LenzThis is one of the deepest, most experienced positions in the squad for the Eagles this year. Danny Da Costa seemed rejuvenated by his move to Mainz mid-year during the 2020/21 campaign, and really helped spark Mainz's resurgence. He should be a lockdown starter at right-back for most of the year and has looked tremendous for Glasner this preseason. With Evan N'Dicka's long, rangy frame and athleticism, the pair should be able to compete with the majority of squads in the Bundesliga.

There's always the dependable and versatile Timothy Chandler there as well, who is capable of the spot start at both this position and right-wing as well.
Defensive Midfield:
Sebastian Rode, Djibril Sow, Nils Stendera, Stefan Ilsanker, Steven Zuber, Makoto Hasebe One of the two most concerning positions on the roster. Sow and Rode are quality, solid Bundesliga players. However, there's not much depth behind these two and the depth at midfield is the same tandem as the depth at Center Back. Eintracht could have really used an upgrade at this position in the offseason. If one of the two misses an extended period of time due to injury this year there isn't a dependable backup to rely on. Steffen Zuber can play anywhere in the midfield and could hold down the fort for a short period of time if need be, but Eintracht really needs to find another Defensive Midfielder in the next Transfer Window.
Attacking Midfield:
Daichi Kamada, Amin Younes, Rodrigo Zalazar, Jesper Lindstrom, Aymen Barkok, Ajden Hrustic*Note: As I am writing this the rumors of Amin Younes' transfer are strong.
Wings:
Filip Kostic, Fabio Blanco, Martin Pecar, Timmy Chandler, Ajden HrusticFilip Kostic is the engine that drives this train.

Striker
Gonçalo Paciência, Rafael Santos Borre, Ragnar Ache, Ali AkmanThis is Borre's job to lose. He showed the same type of movement and knack of finding space in front of the goal that Andre Silva brought to Eintracht the last two years. While Borre doesn't have great size, he has tremendous instinct and a surprising pace. While he doesn't have top-end speed like Timo Werner or Erling Haaland, he anticipates his runs really well. The 25-year-old Columbian Striker has 74 goals and 23 assists in 212 career games spanning all competitions, including 11 goals in 1300 minutes during the 2019-20 campaign.
