Right Wing: Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho takes this spot ahead of the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Antonio Candreva thanks to his immense quality and game changing ability. The young Englishman has produced some amazing moments of magic so far this season. And while he has struggled to impress in the last couple of games, he is more than capable of turning a game around on his own.

Left Wing: Marco Reus

Marco Reus was the driving force behind Borussia Dortmund’s title charge last season, and while he has had a few off-days so far this season, he has still managed to get five goals in eight league appearances. Whether he plays in a central role behind the striker, or down the wing, Marco Reus is always a threat to opposition defenses. The word world class is used too easily these days, but one player who it certainly applies to is Marco Reus.

Striker: Paco Alcacer

Paco Alcacer just gets the nod over Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez here as the Spaniard has made more of an impact than the two Inter Milan strikers. Alcacer has missed the last three games with injuries, but still has seven goals to his name in nine appearances, more than the Inter Milan strike duo.

Lukaku and Lautaro have scored some important goals for Inter, and have formed a formidable partnership up front. And a strong case could be made for either of them to take this spot, but Alcacer’s ability to poach a goal from nowhere makes him our pick.
