RW: Michael Olise

Backup: Lennart Karl

Was there any doubt that he would stay? Michael Olise is back at the helm and firing already for Bayern Munich with the assist against Heidenheim. Now one of the superstars of football, Olise will be Bayern's guiding light on the offensive side this season. Unreal player.

Backing him up is another amazing talent, Lennart Karl. He suffered an injury that cost him his World Cup debut, and it seems unlikely that he will play against Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup. Karl will still take a larger role as Bayern slowly reintroduce him into the lineup following the injury.

LW: Luis Diaz

Backup: Arijon Ibrahimovic

Bayern Munich did not buy a direct backup for Luis Diaz but rather trust academy talent, Arijon Ibrahimovic. After a year at Heidenheim, Ibrahimovic has improved a bit, but still looked quite shaky in his final pre-season matches.

Luis Diaz will do the heavy lifting for Bayern on the left fresh off a crazy debut season.

Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala (when healthy) can also fill in on the left flanks. 17-year-old Wisdom Mike can also expect first-team action this year.

ST: Harry Kane

Backup: Ismael Saibari

No doubt Harry Kane will still lead the line for Bayern Munich coming into the season. The Englishman would love to replicate what he did last season with a more fluent offence after a year playing together.

Saibari has taken up the false 9 role for Morocco at the World Cup, and he will be the direct backup for Kane. Nonetheless, his versatility just shows how fluid Vincent Kompany's system can become next season.
