DISCLAIMER: The opinions stated in the article below are solely those of the author, and not necessarily Sportskeeda’s.
With flamboyant display of football throughout the season, in the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League, Bayern Munich are looking invincible for years to come. This is also powered by the signing of Mario Gotze who can add a lot of quality to the team with his passing and dribbling. Looking at how the players played this season, let me put down the probable FIFA 14 ratings for the players.
Note: Only players who made a significant contribution this season have been included in this list.
Manuel Neuer
The Bavarian shot stopper has been in excellent form throughout the season in all competitions and has executed some top saves to prevent the opposition from scoring.
FIFA 13 rating: 87
My FIFA 14 rating: 90
Philipp Lahm
The right-back has shown his class by running down the flanks to facilitate attacks with pace and penetration, and has also showed put up brilliant defensive displays.

my FIFA 14 rating: 89
Jerome Boateng
He has been in good form for most of the season and has stepped up when required.
FIFA 13 rating: 79
My FIFA 14 rating: 81
Dante
A surprise package for most of the supporters as the centre-back has been magnificent with his rock-solid defensive displays. He was immovable in defence this season, making crucial interceptions and tackles consistently.
FIFA 13 rating: 81
My FIFA 14 rating: 84
Holger Badstuber
He has been injured for most part of the season, especially in the second half, and hence been was not at all influential in the games unlike his performances last season.
FIFA 13 rating: 83
My FIFA 14 rating: 80
David Alaba
For once, it might seem as if there is no stopping this man. He has improved a lot since last season, and has been very reliable, repaying the manager’s faith in him with some brilliant attacking and defensive displays. He also scored a goal in 25 seconds after kickoff against Juventus.
FIFA 13 rating: 77
My FIFA 14 rating: 82
Javi Martinez
He has turned out to be the best signing for Bayern Munich this season. He, along with Bastian Schweinsteiger, completed the defensive midfield roles and stabilized the defence, ensuring that the opposition had no answer to Bayern’s attacking prowess.
FIFA 13 rating: 83
My FIFA 14 rating: 86
Bastian Schweinwsteiger
Year in year out he has shown that he is one of the best in the world. Be it passing, be it shooting, he has done it with class. He made his presence known in every single game he has played.
FIFA 13 rating: 86
My FIFA 14 rating: 88
Arjen Robben
Man of the match in the Champions League final; he has been one of the most prolific players for Bayern Munich this season. On he went up and down the flanks creating all sorts of trouble for the opposition. He has lived up to his expectation finally.
FIFA 13 rating: 88
My FIFA 14 rating: 91
Franck Ribery
He too has been in top form throughout the season, justifying the second half of the term “Robbery” completely. He has created many good chances for the Center Forwards and moved the ball with penetration and skill.
FIFA 13 rating: 90
My FIFA 14 rating: 91
Thomas Muller
He is another player who has been in the focal point of many attacks and he has created and finished many important goals.
FIFA 13 rating: 84
My FIFA 14 rating: 86
Mario Gomez
He has been a disappointment for most of the season. He has not been in very good form and the signing of Mario Mandzukic meant he would get lesser chances in the starting 11.
FIFA 13 rating: 87
My FIFA 14 rating: 82
Mario Gotze
Last but not the least let us look at the new boy who recently signed for the Bavarians. He has been very impressive for Borussia Dortmund in the flanks and as an attacking midfielder. He has been menace for defenders and he, along with Robben and Ribery, could do wonders in Bayern Munich.
FIFA 13 rating: 84
My FIFA 14 rating: 85
