Kyle Joseph (Blackpool)

The Scotsman is a typical striker who is physically robust and has a knack for scoring goals. He can play as a lone striker but he performs really well when he has a strike partner alongside him. Joseph is a hardworking player who tracks back and helps out his teammates in defence as well.

He likes to press high up the pitch and likes to win the ball in the final third. Sometimes he does lose his temper and gets himself booked but still, his overall attitude on the pitch is good. In 20 matches in League One, he has scored seven goals and provided three assists.
