Team Focus: Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen were ver good in the Group Stage, the went through undefeated and finished only behind Monaco, and sent Tottenham to the Europa League. Now they meet Atletico Madrid in the Last 16.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Their goalkeeper is Bernd Leno (5.5), who kept 2 clean sheets in the 5 matches he took part in. Omer Toprak (5.5) and Jonathan Tah are the centre-backs, while Wendell (5.4) is the left-back. The right back position is taken by Benjamin Henrichs, he is however classified as a midfielder. Toprak is the top pick from the bunch as he is sure to start when fit and brings an aerial threat at set-pieces.

Midfield
Slovenian midfielder Kevin Kampl (6.5) was the top performing midfielder in the group stage, scoring an important match winner at Wembley to beat Tottenham. The best pick is probably Hakan Calhanoglu (8.3), the free kick maestro, who also takes most of the penalties. We suggest to avoid other midfield picks, especially considering their opponent - Atletico Madrid.

Attack
Javier Hernandez Chicharito is their star player in attack and probably the only one to consider for your fantasy team beside Julian Brandt (6.7).

Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen have done great so far, but the draw was not too kind to them, as Atletico Madrid will probably prove to be too strong for them.
