Raheem Sterling – Winger

The last time we saw Raheem Sterling it was trouble for the Saints. He collected 2 goals and 2 assists himself and couldn’t be stopped if you tied his laces together.

His speed and ability on the ball makes him a trouble for any defender because he capable of playing anywhere on the pitch. He shows no fear when it comes to going at defenders and will always take the opportunity to embarrass one when the chance presents itself.

The attention the 23-year-old draws to himself when he is in form opens up the pitch for the rest of the team and allows his teammates to get in positions that cause havoc and ultimately leads to goals.
