Which midfield trio carries the magic?

#4 Abdoulaye Doucoure, Etienne Capoue, Will Hughes - Watford

Many wouldn't agree with Watford being on the 'Top - 5' list, but the recent performances against Brighton, Burnley, and Crystal Palace contradict the fact that the Hornets aren't 'capable'. An unusual formation of 4-2-2-2 and tactics laid by their veteran Javi Garcia aren't the only reasons why this brand new Watford legion are becoming a problem for most of the teams.

A midfield comprising of Doucoure, Capoue, and Hughes is one of the ice-breaking factors that keep the squad on the 4th position. With Doucoure and Capoue playing in the holding positions, as well as being the deep-lying playmakers for both Troy Deeny and Andre Gray, Will Hughes provides the typical number 10 understanding for the empty spaces in the middle, allowing the fullbacks to apply width and create a more aggressive approach towards the opposition, leaving them confused and clueless.

The trio has really been an asset for the Hornets and could be a key factor in the development of a new era of football for one of the most competitive, yet underestimated sides in the League.
