Top picks:
Duncan Watmore: Watmore is the backbone of Middlesbroughs attack and is one of the best players on the side who likes to dribble the ball and keep things tight in the opponent’s box. This season, he is one of their best scorers with seven goals. He also hasthree assists to his name in the league. His communication with other players is brilliant which makes his way easy to the box.
Isaiah Jones: Jones has started in 33 matches in the league so far and has recorded a total of eight assists along with a goal. His ability to control the tempo on the field and his attacking endeavor make him an important player. He could be a decent vice-captaincy pick in this meeting.
