#5. Sebastian Coates - Sporting CP
When Coates arrived at Liverpool in 2011, he had just helped Uruguay win the Copa America and was also named the tournament’s best young player. However, the highlight of his Liverpool career was scoring a stunning goal against QPR with a scissor kick from the edge of the box.

He was fighting for a starting spot with the more experienced Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel. Couple that with injuries and the result was 24 appearances for Liverpool in four years during which he went on loan to Nacional and Sunderland.
Coates was sold to Sunderland but in a season and a half, he only made 31 appearances before he was loaned out to to Sporting CP. In Portugal, he finally became a starter.
He is one of Sporting’s regular starters and has played 99 games for the club so far, helping them win the Portuguese League Cup in 2017/18 and also finish 2nd, 3rd and 3rd respectively in the league in his three seasons.
He has also returned to the national team setup and is part of a strong Uruguayan defence comprising Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez.
