Players to Watch

Harry Winks (Southampton)

Winks’ versatility in midfield is very impressive, he has the ingredients to play as an attacking midfielder as well as a defensive midfielder. His ability to dribble is the key to unlocking sides that play with a low-block system, his ability to get past defenders with ease makes him a big attacking threat. His positional sense in the midfield is also really good.

Will Smallbone (Southampton)

Although physicality is not his strength, Smallbone has a very calm and composed demeanour which is a great asset on and off the ball. it allows him to pick out a right pass during the possession, it also helps him to stay on the ground without easily going down and harrying into a tackle when not in possession. He can play as both an attacking and defensive midfielder and also has a great work ethic.
