After an exciting weekend of Bundesliga action, it's time to take a look at our Team of the Week for Matchday 9, which you can find below.
Goalkeeper
Alexander Nübel, Stuttgart
Leverkusen created chance after chance against Stuttgart, but couldn't get the ball over the line. That was due in no small part to the efforts of Nübel, who made a total of five saves to keep the clean sheet intact.
Defenders

Made his first start of the season for Frankfurt and impressed, setting up a goal and winning 8 of his 12 duels.
Max Geschwill, Holstein Kiel
Key to Holstein Kiel's first win of the season, providing an assist and winning six of his 10 duels at the back.
Dayot Upamecano, Bayern
Was deemed fit enough to play against Union and helped Bayern keep a clean sheet. Made 5 clearances, 2 blocks and completed 95 percent of his passes.
Midfielders
Maximilian Beier, Dortmund
Dortmund's summer signing finally showed how decisive he can be, scoring BVB's opener before setting up Serhou Guirassy for the winner.
Jackson Irvine, St. Pauli
Worked as tirelessly as ever in the middle of the park and set up both of St. Pauli's goals against Hoffenheim.
Mahmoud Dahoud, Frankfurt
Had a strong game in midfield for Frankfurt, recording a goal and an assist and completing 87 percent of his passes.
Kingsley Coman, Bayern
Got the nod over Serge Gnabry on the wing and made the most of the opportunity with a goal and an assist, along with 91 percent passing accuracy.
Strikers
Omar Marmoush, Frankfurt
Continued his scintillating form with a superb free-kick goal and two assists in Frankfurt's 7-2 win over Bochum.
