Mergim Mavraj is competing for a place in the BundesLeague first phase best line-up. The Albanian defender was selected by the BundesLeague official site where the best line-up will be elected through people’s votes. His selection was related to the excellent performance with Coln FC. The 30-years old Albanian player competes along Sokratis of Borussia Dortmund, Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng of Bayern Mynchen, Willi Orban of Leipzig and Jesus Vallejo of Eintracht Frankfurt. According to a notice published by bundesliga.de the voting will remain open until January 31.

His positive performance as part of the Albanian National Team during Euro 2016 finals was followed by a very good performance as part of Coln FC during the first phase. The Albanian defender has always been part of the line-up prevailing in 58% of the direct matches, placing a record in Bundesleague. Meanwhile his transfer to Hamburg became official only a few days ago, putting an end to his career with Coln FC.
