#2 Paulo Dybala

Russia vs Argentina - International Friendly
Paulo Dybala in action for Argentina

He's a player who has drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi due to his style of play, this has been a gift and a curse especially for the national team. His performances for Argentina have been underwhelming so far, as the decision makers have not figured out how to use him alongside Messi.

He was dropped for the March friendlies and the manager has spoken on his frustration with regards the Dybala situation.

"It is complicated for Dybala to get used to our system, we couldn't improve his performances and we have to evaluate if the current players in this squad are better than Paulo or if we have to keep working with Paulo to improve his performance." - Jorge Sampaoli

He has had a relatively slow start this season for Juventus but has since picked up, scoring 21 goals in 36 games and bagging 5 assists.

Dybala's immense talent is undeniable, he truly is a gem and if Argentina wants to pose a serious threat at this summer's World Cup they need all the help they can get. The Juventus forward would be a positively lethal addition to Jorge Sampaoli's team roster for the World Cup.
