#2 Samuel Umtiti (Barcelona)
Samuel Umtiti has made a gigantic jump in his development this season, and it's a shame that he is currently out through injury.

The Frenchman has played a pivotal part in Barcelona's success so far, with the Catalan club leading La Liga by some margin and shutting out Real Madrid.
Umtiti has the best passing range out of any centre-back in the world at this moment in time, a major reason why Barcelona decided to sign him.
The centre-back has a wicked turn of speed as well, enabling him to chase back effectively and recover when they are facing a counter attack. Umtiti looks destined to captain Barcelona one day.
The former Lyon defender is only 24 years old and has some time to go until he is firmly in his peak years. There is still lots more to come from Umtiti, which is quite scary given how astute he is right now.
