FC Bayern paid €53m to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace this past summer.
In the current football transfer market, that outlay is already looking like a bargain for the Bavarian giants.
The attacker, who’s currently valued at €65m by Transfermarkt, has made 22 appearances for Bayern at this point in the 2024/25 campaign.
In those 22 games, 14 of which were in the Bundesliga with six in the UEFA Champions League, Olise has scored nine goals and made seven assists.
This equals an average of a goal contribution in roughly three of every four games.
Last week, the France international scored two and assisted one in a stellar Champions League performance as Bayern cruised past Shakhtar Donetsk with a 5-1 win.
This tactical analysis and scout report aims to highlight Olise’s qualities and how Bayern Munich have been maximising the 23-year-olds potential this term.
First and foremost, Olise is a world-class dribbler.
His dribbling skills have helped him make an impact on the German side in ball progression and chance creation—both for himself and others.
Our Michael Olise scout report will explain Olise’s role in Bayern’s tactics and the key qualities of the winger’s game that Vincent Kompany is maximising this term.

As the viz reflects, Olise has occupied the right-wing position in Vincent Kompany’s 4-2-3-1 at Bayern this term.
As you’d expect, he’s been most present inside the final third but also around the halfway line — going back to his impact in both the chance creation and ball progression phases.
