Right Back- Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Kyle Walker was a critical piece in Pep Guardiola's Title winning team, probably the one part of the puzzle that fit everything together. Pep Guardiola has always had a quality right-back at every club he's managed at Barcelona he had Dani Alves at Barcelona and Philipp Lahm at Bayern Munich. But when Pep arrived at Manchester City, he lacked quality full-backs.

Walker arrived at the start of the 17/18 Season for £50 million and his effect was immediate. Walker almost played like a second winger and often dropped into Midfield positions as well. But when Manchester City would lose possession of the ball the 28-Year-Old English International would sprint back to his position in no time and more often than not, win the ball back. To go with the Title, Walker was very impressive at the World Cup as well.
