Troy Parrott (Ireland)
The 24-year-old has been one of the stars to catch the eye during the September-October international break.

In total, he bagged four goals and was an absolute engine for the Ireland national football team in the attacking front.
Goncalo Ramos (Portugal)
In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Goncalo Ramos has been one of the main men in the final third for the Portugal national football team. The AC Milan forward was on the field for just 23 minutes during the opening game. He went on to score three goals in three consecutive games for his nation. Is Ramos going to be a perfect replacement for Ronaldo? This continues to be a question for a lot of fans, but his recent performances should come under notice.
