Team: Borussia Dortmund
Position: Midfielder
Age: 21
Thomas Tuchel has constructed one of the most exciting young sides in European football since he arrived at Borussia Dortmund. One of the key cogs to that is Julian Weigl.
He's important not because of goals or assists but because of his stunning tactical intelligence. As a classic No 6, he's tasked with taking the ball from central defenders and recycling it up the field.
Weigl simply has the mind of a much older player. He's comparable to Barcelona icon Xavi.
The 21-year-old constantly looks for space and uses it effectively. Julian Weigl is vital to Dortmund's system, turning defence into attack almost at will
