A Brazilian centre-forward whose creativity elevates the ability of those that flank him, Roberto Firmino. A star inverted right-winger who cuts onto his left-foot and shoulders the penalty duties, Mohamed Salah and an inverted left-winger with great pace, dribbling ability and goalscoring potential, Sadio Mane.
