#3 Alireza Jahanbakhsh
The Eredivisie top scorer will play on the right side of attacking midfield, behind Sardar Azmoun. The AZ Alkmaar hotshot is a technically gifted player and provides a lot of assists as well, apart from scoring with both feet.
The 24-year old is fast and direct and can single-handedly swing the game in Iran's favour. He has scored 37 goals in 111 appearances for AZ and 4 goals for his national side. The fact that he can play anywhere across the frontline is a testament to his ability and versatility.
