Leon Goretzka

Leon Goretzka strikes me as the thinking man's powerhouse midfielder. At 189 cm with that famously imposing physique, he could coast on sheer athleticism, but what I appreciate is the intelligence and timing layered on top of the muscle. His path earns respect too: a homegrown start at Bochum, over a hundred Bundesliga games hardening him at Schalke, then the jump to Bayern Munich in 2018. That's a proper climb, not a handout. His late surges into the box make him a real goal threat from deep. Add his willingness to speak his mind off the pitch, and you've got a substantial, principled professional.
