Bayern’s Michael Olise tops unwanted Bundesliga ranking with 194 turnovers

Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise has emerged as the Bundesliga’s leading player for possession losses after recording 194 turnovers in his first nine league appearances this season.

The 24-year-old French international has impressed with his dribbling, creativity and attacking contributions since joining the Bavarian giants, but the latest statistics have placed him at the top of an unwanted league ranking.

According to data from fussballdaten.de, Olise has recorded more turnovers than any other player in the Bundesliga after nine matchdays.

Olise overtakes Hoffenheim’s Coufal

Olise’s total of 194 turnovers represents a significant increase from his previous position in the ranking.

After the seventh matchday, the Bayern winger had recorded 147 turnovers, placing him third behind the leading players.

However, another 47 possession losses across his next two appearances saw him move to the top of the list, overtaking previous leader Vladimír Coufal of TSG Hoffenheim, who has recorded 185 turnovers.

Bayer Leverkusen’s Ibrahim Maza follows with 162, while Laurin Curda of SC Paderborn has registered 161. Lukas Petkov of SV Elversberg completes the top five with 157.

Olise also among the highest per 90 minutes

The Bayern winger’s numbers remain high when measured against playing time.

Olise ranks third for turnovers per 90 minutes, averaging 23.37, according to the reported statistics.

Coufal leads that category with 23.82, while Borna Sosa is second with 23.45.

Despite the unwanted statistical record, Olise’s attacking qualities and willingness to take on opponents continue to make him an important creative option for Bayern Munich.
