Players to watch out for:

Nuno Mendes (PSG)

The Portuguese fullback showed great promise when he joined PSG. He has emerged as one of the best players in his position under Luis Enrique. He is a physical specimen who excels in offensive and defensive aspects of the game.

Despite playing as a left back, he is a match-winner and can make a difference at any time.

Maxime López (Paris FC)

The French midfielder has been one of the most consistent players for Paris FC this season. He can dictate the tempo of the game with ease and can also play a final pass in the final third. He has registered three assists in Ligue 1 so far this season.
