#3 Giovani Lo Celso - 7.13
When Argentine midfielder Giovani Lo Celso moved to Tottenham, fans were ecstatic. Lo Celso's reputation as a talent was always there and fans believed that they had a potential star on their hands.
However, the move hasn't been exactly what he had planned for his career. He has been in and out of the side as the required consistency has been missing. Lo Celso has barely played for Tottenham. However, he has rediscovered himself at Villarreal on loan.
Lo Celso has the talent and adaptability to play in several positions in the middle of the park. His abilities are ideal for the central midfield position, where he has been deployed the most.
When in form, Lo Celso can stitch together unbelievable passes and exhibits excellent ball control. The major criticism of his gameplay is the lack of required consistency.
The Argentine has played in 28 games this season but wasn't used enough in the league. However, he has been far more regular for Villarreal since making the temporary move. Lo Celso will also look to improve his goal involvement, which is just two at this point.
#2 Paulo Dybala - 7.41
Come the summer of 2022, Argentine attacker Paulo Dybala will be a free agent. The player has spent a significant amount of time at Juventus but is yet to sign a contract extension. However, if his performances this season are considered, there could be a decent amount of interest in him.
Dybala is a stylish player and plays as an attacker or midfielder when needed. His perfect position is the second striker role where he can showcase his abilities the best. Dybala has an excellent skillset - timed runs, accurate finishing, and expert passing.
Dybala has been in good form this season despite Juventus going through a transitionary season. He has been a part of 29 games across all competitions, and has scored 13 goals and assisted six.
#1 Lionel Messi - 7.61
Earlier in the summer, Lionel Messi's move to PSG sent shockwaves through the footballing world. He was set to renew his contract with Barcelona but financial troubles meant he couldn't be registered. What followed is regarded as one of the biggest free-agent signings ever.
There are only a few things that the little magician can't do on a football pitch. He is an expert at dribbling the ball and opening up defenses with his passing. His set-piece abilities are second to none and his finishing is world-class.
Lionel Messi has made 26 appearances so far in all competitions and has scored seven goals and assisted 11. However, more is expected from the great man, especially in Ligue 1.
