#9 David Alaba - Bayern Munich
In a team of world superstars, the fight to take regular free-kicks is always going to be fierce. The fact David Alaba is allowed part of that responsibility at the tender age of 22 is a glowing testimony to his ability with a dead ball.
The versatile Austrian has scored two Bundesliga goals for Bayern this season, both coming from free-kick routines.
He also struck a stunning effort against Eintracht Braunschweig in the German Cup, which garnered huge praise from teammate Franck Ribery. With efforts like that, it’s not hard to see why.
