Reo Hatate

I've got a real soft spot for Reo Hatate, because he's the kind of midfielder who clearly thinks the game a beat faster than everyone else. That left foot is a thing of quiet violence, he can stroke a pass forty yards onto a toe or thread one between two defenders without ever looking rushed. I love that he came up the patient route, through Juntendo University before the pro ranks, then went and proved himself far from home in Scotland's white-knuckle football, which tells you he's got steel under the calm. Total craftsman, and I'm always glad when his name's on the sheet.
