Antonin Dumas

With an unnatural ability to dance past defenders in tight spaces, this calm Frenchman uses his lightning acceleration to glide through the final third despite occasionally mishitting his more powerful efforts. A traumatic disco-dance-related hip fracture once threatened to end his career, but he used that long recovery to sharpen his movement and return even more fluid and lethal. He remains a serene tactical nightmare for any opponent, always playing with a rhythmic, understated brilliance.
