The only player in the list who has been axed due to his irresponsible behaviour during the World Cup team selection. Adrien Rabiot has been delivering his usual impressive performances for the French League Champions PSG but his remarks against France coach Didier Deschamps has seen the young midfielder being snubbed from national team duty.

The 23-year-old central midfielder has so far made 10 appearances and scored once for the team from the French capital.

Alexandre Lacazette

Alexandre Lacazette has been in terrific form this season.

The most deserving player that should have been on the team list. The former Lyon man has been in terrific season for the Gunners this season, bringing back memories of his days in the French League.

The 27-year old already has 4 goals and 3 assist to his names and has already made 9 appearances for Arsenal with 3 of them being from the bench.

An impressive 0.5 goal ratio in the Premier League with a shooting accuracy of 42% is very impressive for the centre-forward who is gradually finding his feet in the Premier League.
