Striker

For the role of the striker, there were many names to choose from: Cavani, Aubameyang, Lewandowski, Dzeko, Kane, Suarez... But as with most top coaches, we decided to give youth talent a chance. Which is why we have picked Kylian Mbappe to lead the line of this XI.
The striker turned 18 only a few months ago but with adulthood came a mature head filled with composure in front of goal in the grandest stage of all – the Champions League. Dubbed the next Thierry Henry (which young French forward isn’t but in this case there are similarities), Mbappe has scored 26 goals in all competitions, including six in Europe.
We’d have loved to go with an established poacher but Mbappe’s pace, energy, dribbling skills, and finishing make him one of the most exciting players to watch out for in the next decade or so.
