9) Jonas Hector – Germany – FC Koln
Hector has been fantastic at left-back for Koln this season, with the newly promoted side holding one of the best defensive records in the Bundesliga.
Germany have been suffering from a defensive crisis since the retirement of grizzled veterans Philipp Lahm and Per Mertesacker, so the 24-year-old will be looking to take his opportunity to break into the side this week.
