As mentioned earlier, Lille OSC had a phenomenal season in the Ligue 1. If Jonathan Bamba was their top player on the left side of the field, the right side was entirely controlled by Ivory Coast's Nicolas Pepe. Pepe was the heart and soul of Lille.

Pepe was the second top scorer of the league, with 22 goals, behind PSG's Kylian Mbappe. Pepe is also joint second in the list of footballers with most assists in Ligue 1 - with 11 - just behind Teji Savanier.

Similar to Luka Jovic, Pepe also started the season with a 75 rated gold card. However, he began making his mark against Amiens by scoring the first hattrick of the season in Ligue 1. Pepe was a part of a whopping six Team of the Weeks.

It was only deserving for him to get a Ligue 1 Team of the Season card with a final overall of 96. Thus, Pepe amassed 21 points during 2018/19 season.
