#2 Hit: Matteo Guendouzi

Guendouzi just turned 20 over the weekend and for a player who is still so young, he has certainly racked up alot of experience in his first season. The French youngster has made 39 appearances in all competitions thus far. More often than not, he has played the full 90 minutes of the match.

The central midfielder might not be as good as Torreira in terms of tackling or as wise as Ramsey in picking up passes, but Guendouzi surely knows how to link up the defence with the attack. Having in him a huge amount of energy, the 20-year-old remains energetic even towards the final moments of the game. It is with this sort of energy the players will be motivated to get forward and not lose hope when on the losing end.

Formerly from Ligue 2, Guendouzi has a bright future ahead of him. But as things stand, he still has lots to learn from Xhaka and Torreira.
