Emiliano Buendía

What draws me to Emiliano Buendía is the unglamorous path he took to the top. He didn't explode onto the scene; he ground it out at Getafe, earned a move to Norwich, then willed his way into Aston Villa and the Argentina setup. As an attacking midfielder he has that left-footed craft I love, the kind of player who threads passes others don't see. Coming from the seaside city of Mar del Plata rather than a Buenos Aires powerhouse only adds to the underdog charm. In a national team stacked with stars, I rate this quietly creative grafter as exactly the sort of player coaches secretly cherish.
