Ismaila Diomande

After overcoming a dreaded grass allergy as a child, this Ivorian midfield engine channeled his struggle into an relentless drive on the pitch. Possessing explosive acceleration and a silken first touch, he dominates the game entirely, though his close dribbling can sometimes be far too ambitious for his own good. His tireless physicality and aggressive winning mentality make him a force of nature who dictates the tempo from the opening whistle to the final minute.
