The Topps Company, as Official Licensing Partner of the Bundesliga, and the DFL Sports Enterprises have partnered to create a new card-deck for the Topps KICK application (The official digital Trading Card Collection of the Bundesliga) - the Bundesliga Top 11 of the matchday. With Topps KICK , you are not only able to collect digital cards of the Bundesliga-Stars, but also to select a team for each matchday like a manager in order to earn credits in real-time based on the actual performance of your players during the matchday.
The base for this new card-deck is bundesliga.de. All soccer-fans worldwide can vote for their Top-11 during the matchday and afterwards. Through this, the fans influence, their favourites are available for their collection and their lineup in Topps KICK. Following the ballot for the Top 11 on bundesliga.de, Topps immediately creates the respective cards, so that they will already be launched in the App one day later. Simultaneously the Top 11 will be published on bundesliga.de in the same brand-new layout. |
For matchday 18 the cards have been released in and the following players won the fan-election:
- Diego Benaglio (VfL Wolfsburg)
- Ricardo Rodriguez (VfL Wolfsburg)
- Jannik Vestergaard (SV Werder Bremen)
- Naldo (VfL Wolfsburg)
- Theodor Gebre Selassie (SV Werder Bremen)
- Kevin De Bruyne (VfL Wolfsburg),
- Yunus Malli (1. FSV Mainz 05)
- Marcel Risse (1. FC Köln),
- Kevin Kampl (Borussia Dortmund)
- Bas Dost (VfL Wolfsburg)
- Nils Petersen (Sport-Club Freiburg)
