https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇦" title="Flagge von Kanada" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Kanada">Jonathan David (20) - AM/CF, LOSC Lille
Will be interesting to see what system and position he plays and how quickly he settles in.

But a wonderful finisher, has good final phase (especially during counters), can dribble and is physically strong & fast.

*Should be his breakthrough year in some capacity

Can play up front, under striker or wide. Physically ready since 15, strong moving with the ball, lovely eye for a through pass and good finisher who can score and provide.

*Easy bet for yellow cards

Tall and powerful player who plays aggressively and should adapt well to Ligue 1. Has great ability to play on a huge portion of the pitch and isn& #39;t just limited to screening the defence. Strong ball winning ability

Should easily become one of the best midfielders in France inside the next 2 years.

All rounded, tall and athletic midfielder with solid ball retention, aggressive defending, good in the air, fantastic progressivity on the ball + good dribbler
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇳🇱" title="Flagge der Niederlande" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Niederlande">Sven Botman (20) - LCB, LOSC Lille
Tall, strong and passing wise really good defender in a shorter based build-up on the ground.
He& #39;s very pro-active, strong 1v1 and in the air but he has big problems when defending set-pieces & decision making in transition in the last line.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇧🇷" title="Flagge von Brasilien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Brasilien">Bruno Guimarães (22) - CM, Lyon

Tactically really smart player who& #39;s able to adapt and read the game well which allows him to play any role in midfield. Has world class close control and passing, able to break the lines with dribbling or penetrating passes & great defensively.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇲🇱" title="Flagge von Mali" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Mali">Cheick Doucouré (20) - DM, RC Lens

He needs to grow in terms of patience and decision making but he& #39;s a good ball winning midfielder who doesn& #39;t mind getting stuck in, is aggressive and who has good ability when it comes to linking up play & dribbling.
Can alter on CB aswell.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇫🇷" title="Flagge von Frankreich" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Frankreich">Ludovic Blas (22) - RW/AM, Nantes
*Will this finally be the year he kicks on?

He struggles massively with consistency but when he is on his game, he& #39;s exceptional creatively (penetrating passes/crosses) and in dribbling, very progressive & great pressing player as well.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇧🇷" title="Flagge von Brasilien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Brasilien">Otávio (26) - DM, Bordeaux

Very aggressive and pro-active midfielder who is really strong with his intense pressure onto opponents, which allows him to win a lot of possession. He& #39;s strong at keeping the ball and rarely loses it - even if at times he& #39;s passive in possession.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇫🇷" title="Flagge von Frankreich" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Frankreich">Anthony Caci (23) - LB*, Strasbourg
*Should continue as a LB next season

Superb passing player in possession, great crossing and creative ability with either feet (right footed). Defensively he& #39;s comfortable pressing high and often, bit static defending but still good.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇫🇷" title="Flagge von Frankreich" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Frankreich">Baptiste Santamaría (25) - DM, Angers
*one of my favs from his Ligue 2 days

Superb and underrated DM with good physicality, can cover huge portion of the ground, pro-active, clean style with a lot of ball recoveries. Progressive passer and can move with the ball well aswell.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇼" title="Flagge von Guinea-Bissau" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Guinea-Bissau">Moreto Cassamá (22) - CDM, Reims

Really small player with great intensity, he has huge presence on the pitch, picks up a lot of 2nd balls, is quite aggressive. Great press-resilience + dribbling, quite passive possession but keeps the flow going really well, fantastic corners.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇫🇷" title="Flagge von Frankreich" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Frankreich">Jean-Kevin Duverne (23) - CB, Brest

Fast and athletic CB, he& #39;s quite weak in the air and defensively more passive - loves to control space, doesn& #39;t lung in at every opportunity and tries to block more. World class passing as a defender.
