RAM) Memphis Depay – PSV
One of Europe’s rising stars, Depay made the world stand up and take notice with some sensational displays for Holland at the World Cup in Brazil. Often positioned on the opposite wing to Arjen Robben, the PSV man mirrored the directness often shown by Robben whilst completely taking a full-back apart.
LAM) Eden Hazard – Chelsea
If anyone is going to break up Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s stranglehold on the Ballon d’Or, it will certainly be Hazard. Able to turn on a sixpence, the Belgian is now adding end product to his game and whilst he may not match their goal tally, on his day, he can be just as devastating.
CF) Sergio Aguero – Manchester City
Arsene Wenger’s theory that South America (via Arsenal.com) produces the best strikers continues to be vindicated and it is no surprise to see the forwards vying for this position all come from that region. However, few in the world surpass Man City’s golden boy and Aguero’s sensational performances are set to rise as he enters his prime.
