👀 HSV suddenly bottom? This is the Bundesliga table for the year

While FC Bayern Munich naturally sits at the top of the Bundesliga table after 15 rounds, on the calendar year table...

Uh yes, of course, it's also Munich – or what did you think? According to the calendar year table from 'transfermarkt.de', the Kompany squad collected 87 points in 34 games in 2025 – five more than in the last complete Bundesliga season.

After that, there's a long gap. In second place, with 21 (!) points less, follows the Werkself from Leverkusen – who collected a total of 66 points in the year with the three coaches Alonso, ten Hag, and Hjulmand. You can guess three times who among them has the best points average. 

Closely behind in the third podium place is the first change from the final table of the summer. In the form of a – at least in terms of points – significant performance improvement, Borussia Dortmund leads in this type of table.

Turnaround in the Middle of the Year

Eintracht Frankfurt is confronted with the opposite, having recently faced some setbacks in the league. Thus, Götze & Co. slip to fourth place in the year's overall table (58 points). A change in the time calculation would not suit the Toppmöller team well. Hot on their heels are the RB Leipzig players with 53 points. 

The 05ers have slipped the furthest. Last year, they surprisingly rocked the Bundesliga, but now they've booked the red lantern. They added only eight points since the summer break to the 27 from the first half of the year – meaning 14th place in the full-year balance. Looking at where Mainz currently stands, they would surely sign for that. 

Only two teams performed worse, both of which played in the top division in both halves of the year: the Kiezkicker from Hamburg and FC Heidenheim (both only 30 Bundesliga points from January to December).

At the very bottom are, of course, Kiel & Bochum (relegated to the lower division in the summer) as well as Cologne & HSV (promoted), but they also had significantly fewer Bundesliga games available to collect points.

VfB on Course for Europe in the Calendar Year

VfB Stuttgart is doing better in the yearly balance due to a good season start than at the end of the 2024/25 season and finds itself in sixth place – exactly the same position they currently hold going into the winter break. 

The Hoeneß team is followed by the Schuster squad in seventh place with 51 collected points and Hoffenheim in eighth with six fewer on the account. 

Werder Bremen seems comfortable in tenth place: With 43 collected points, they secure the first double-digit table position, which they also currently hold in the league. 

Even though FCA had a worse season start due to the Wagner misunderstanding, they remain ahead of Wolfsburg in the yearly ranking in eleventh place. 

The Fohlenelf collected as many points as the Wolves but suffered a significantly worse goal difference in 2025 and therefore lands in 13th place – ahead of Mainz, who, thanks to a second half full of light and a shadowy start to the new football year, had to endure the biggest performance setback.
