Players to Watch
Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal)
His standout quality is his ability to attack the penalty area. He is a good dribbler and can create goalscoring opportunities for himself as well as his teammates. He can get past players with his dribbling ability and can get into dangerous positions. He is a constant threat to the opposition’s defence and likes to take on players with his trickery. He has good awareness and can find his teammates in better positions in the box. Martinelli is a team player who always likes to give his best and is a fan favourite.
Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
Vardy’s movement is his greatest strength, he is a predatory number nine who is always looking to burst into spaces behind defences. His pace in short distances helps him to create a lot of problems for the defenders. He also poses a threat in the air, because his explosive leap and the timing of his jumps mean he can compete with far bigger central defenders. He can score from anywhere on the pitch and he is one of the best finishers in the league.
