Best U23 XI in the UCL | UEFA Champions League 2019/20

Number 10 and Striker

Havertz scored 17 goals in the league last season

If there is plenty of talent competing for one position on the pitch, it's currently the attacking midfielder role. Though described as a number 10 in this scenario, these midfielders could fit in across several positions in attack and put up an electrifying display on their day.

The starter and perhaps the most discussed of them as well is Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz (20). A technically gifted player who is able to slot into any position behind the striker and has a knack of scoring goals playing behind the striker.

He formed an almost telepathic understanding with Julian Brandt last season but is expected to take on a more prominent role this season. Lyon's Houssem Aouar (21), Chelsea's Mason Mount (20), or Genk's Ianis Hagi (20) have all shown immense promise in this role and have put up similar numbers as well. Playing in different leagues, they all seem to have bright futures ahead of them.

Tammy Abraham is currently Chelsea's top scorer

Chelsea started off this season unsure if any of their strikers could fire in the Premier League for them. Although Olivier Giroud seemed the most qualified to take on this role, it's Tammy Abraham (21) who has scored two braces in a row for Chelsea to put himself in the hot seat. It remains to be seen if he can do the job for Chelsea in Europe, but the stage is set for him.

19-year-old Erling Braut Haaland is not far behind in the competition. He will lead the line for RB Salzburg this season. Although he will play for minnows in the competition, he can be quite a presence up front, so expect him to troublesome defences in the group stage.
