Our friends from over the North Sea, Stuttgart, first saw the light of day in 1893. Their pitch of choice is the MHPArena, a purposeful stadium nestled within the heartland of Germany.
The Stuttgart lads hold some weight in the market too, with their combined squad value totalling approximately £283m. This figure, should you wish to delve into the specifics, can be viewed on Transfermarkt.
The squad is blooming in their collective age, averaging at a spry 25. 26 players in all wear the colours proudly, balancing talent, youth and wisdom with notable fairness.
If we look at the season, Stuttgart have been exerting themselves in four distinct competitions. Their efforts have seen them securing 4th position in the Bundesliga, displaying admirable fight in the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal, standing their ground until the final whistle in the DFL-Supercup final and showing a solid performance in the Europa League, where they reached the last 16.
This provides a snapshot of Stuttgart's progression, indicating a team that not only strives but tenaciously battles on all fronts.
