Germany’s 2017: Confederations Cup win, 43 goals, 36 players, eight debuts

The 2-2 draw against France was the last international fixture of 2017. Head coach Joachim Löw used 36 players over the course of the year, eight of those made their debut. Germany won 11 of their 15 games, drawing the other four. This means Germany are unbeaten since the 2-0 loss to France in the European Championship semi-final.

The World Champions added the 2017 Confederations Cup to the trophy cabinet. Germany scored 43 goals over the year with Timo Werner notching seven in ten games. He was the top scorer, one ahead of Leon Goretzka on six. No player appeared in every game.
