Left Midfielder/Wingback – Leroy Sane

Sane’s production has rapidly increased as the season has gone on, and he will continue to see starts. His six goals and four assists this season has been reasonable, but his work-ethic in Manchester City’s build-up play is crucial to their recent success. He is a pacey winger that loves to take on defenders, while he isn’t afraid to track back and defend. The German has been important for Manchester City, and I expect him to be just as important tomorrow.
