Leander Dendoncker (Anderlecht)

*Cue people running to google to find out who this is*. I believe that the 22-year-old Center-midfielder is one of the most underrated players in the world today. The current RSC Anderlecht midfielder stands at a towering 1.88m and can play center-defender as well.

Having already debuted for the Belgian national team, this player has the potential to be something special. His ability to win the ball defensively and push the ball forward and accurately are the type of players that we crave in the middle of the field. If you haven’t heard of him yet, you will in a few years. He would be extremely impressive in the midfield of a 4-3-3 with Romeu and Hojbjerg.
