Second Striker – Dimitri Payet

Payet broke on the scene last season, and has yet to give up the spotlight. He is a classy player who brings underrated talent to the table. He is an above-average free kick taker and can rifle them home from long-range too. With the right amount of talent around him, Payet easily could play for a European contender.

Overall, both teams bring talent to the table and this was a hard list to choose from. West Ham are a scrappy team that will continue to get better under Slaven Bilic. If Dimitri Payet can continue to make others around him better, then we could have another team to add to the top list of Premier League clubs.
