THREAD:
In this thread I will talk about some of Bayern's RB options for the transfer window and comare them by their stats. Unfortunately I couldn't include Dest, as there isn't enough data from the Eredivisie. Still, I included TAA and AWB for a better comparison.

Let's start with aerial ability. Pavard is much better than all the others here, Atal and Semedo also have good stats.
Here, AWB is clear of everyone. Atal and Pavard are pretty good.
Moving on to crossing, we can see that Pavard by far provides the most accurate crosses, while TAA crosses up to 4 times as much as the others. Aarons and AWB aren't bad either.
TAA creates the most opportunities for his teammates while having the worst passing accuracy. For Semedo, it's exactly the other way around. Atal is a pretty good mix of both.
Atal has the best progressive distance, while AWB is the most successful with his dribblings. Pavard and especially Semedo have good stats here.
I think that whoever comes to us, in Flick's system, they will start as a back-up for Pavard. Judging by these stats, my prefered candidate would be Atal, as he is solid or very good in all of the aspects except for crossing. He is also a very versatile player.
Stats aren't enough because
- for example: tackle =/= tackle
- possible different positions (Atal winger, Pavard CB)
- different leagues, different playstyles and difficulties
- different teams (Pavard plays for the best team in the league, while Aarons plays for the worst)

For the stats, I used Fbref, whoscored and rotowire.
