Centre Back – Joel Matip

Another no-brainer really. Joel Matip has been solid in the past few games, really showing how good of a deal he was. He’s clever and neat on the ball, meaning he can play well from the back. His height could help him pocket Zlatan and prevent crosses, plus his defending has looked exceptional so far. Once he settles properly alongside Lovren the pair could be a formidable partnership.
