#4 Jose Maria Gimenez
At 21, Jose Maria Gimenez already has thirty-one international caps and is in line to become a great at both club and country level. Training with his high-calibre international teammate, in Diego Godin, and partner on a daily basis is only a huge boon for the youngster.
Having already represented his country on the grandest stage of all: the FIFA World Cup, Gimenez has the world ahead of him and in this tournament has the chance to really shine for his country and show what he's so far promised us this season.
While Uruguay might steal the hearts of their fans with the likes of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani up top, Gimenez and Godin are the kind of defenders who wil ensure that the goalscorers do what they do best knowing well they have a strong foundation who can keep opposition strikers out.
