Footnotes

1. Sobota was on loan from Club Brugge to St. Pauli since the winter 2014–15 transfer window. All parties agreed to make the move permanent.
2. The loan deals of Maniatis and Valdés were terminated early as Standard Liège opted to only use youngsters for the remainder of the season. Both players were therefore allowed to already return to their original club.
