Miguel Nzuzi

This lightning-quick wing-back treats every opposing winger like a personal insult, flying into perfect slide tackles with an arrogance that says he owns the entire touchline. He is the ultimate wide disruptor for an aggressive system, though his occasionally passive approach to duels requires a commanding center-back to keep him honest. Put him on the flank and let him dominate, just be prepared for the showmanship that comes with his unrivaled pace and clinical defensive timing.
