#3 David Alaba (Austria)

David Alaba will look to push forward as a winger for Austria

In Bayern’s ‘Galactico’ squad, the fact that David Alaba is one of the first names on the teamsheet says a lot about his talents as a footballer.

Versatile, quick, more than technically proficient Alaba has firmly established himself as one of the best left-backs in the game. He can play in a back 3, bursts up and down in his natural position as a left back whilst also possessing the ability to play in midfield as he does for his national team. Voted Austrian footballer of the year a stunning 5 times, it’s fair to say that a nation’s hopes rest on him.
