#4 Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann has had another stellar season

If there was ever a crown jewel in a counter-attacking team, Griezmann would be the perfect definition. The Frenchman picks up the ball in his own half, runs at speed and gobbles up every opportunity he gets in and around the opposition box.

Add to that his brilliant positioning sense and his willingness to work hard for the team, and you can imagine Jose Mourinho watching Atletico Madrid games with a box of tissues. His goal tally of 35 and 12 assists in all competitions this season, and you have a stone cold finisher who starts from inside his own box.
