5 players that should be starting instead of being benched

#2 Piotr Zielinski

Marek Hamsik is a Napoli hero, who will definitely pass Diego Maradona’s scoring record this season but my-oh-my, does he have a talented player breathing down his neck. Piotr Zielinski always felt like his heir apparent but he’s even been impressive from a deeper role this season.

The Polish international has regularly either been in the starting line-up alongside the Slovakian or has been a second-half replacement for him. The attacking intent between the two of them has made Mauricio Sarri’s side wonderfully entertaining so far this season but also successful so far.

The 23-year-old is still mainly occupying the bench though but that might not be the case for too long. If he can continue to produce like the two goals this campaign, he will force himself into one of the most exciting teams in European football.
