A thread of 5 players I think are going to truly explode this year. People like Grealish have already done that so I’m not including them
MOHAMMED KUDUS
Like Ndombele in his press resistance and ability to get ball forward in variety of ways. Can also play higher up, slip players in with vision/final pass, makes runs into the box. Technical, creative, aggressive, quick feet, uses body well and very strong

CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI
This will be his year. Intelligent in how he receives the ball, outstanding technically, explosive, lovely timing and rhythm to his game can create with a variety of passes including switching play, superb ball striker. Needs to make more off ball runs into box

GABRIEL VERON
So direct and can attack in a variety of ways. Can drive explosively from deep, or receive higher up in tight areas. Creative. Can go past his man both ways on both sides and central and variety of end product from all angles. Capable of magic, tonnes of personality

RAPHINHA
Goals from RW are gold dust and he has this potential. Always on the movement to receive in pockets. Can play excellent and creative passes from deep, and pick up and carry the ball infield before striking at goal. Technical, creative, intelligent, fast and end product

LOIC BADE
Has the ‘composed assertiveness’ I look for in top CB’s. Takes charge of defensive situations but always in a composed and assertive manner, even last ditch ones. Good footwork, can drive flat passes and carry the ball out. Tall, upward stance, makes game look easy

NONI MADUEKE
Superb ball carrier, can go inside and outside. Uses his whole body when dribbling, looks unorthodox, but expressive movements constantly throwing defenders off not knowing what way he’s going next. And has potential to be a killer for end product in the final third

Thread done. I know I said 5, but no way I was leaving any of them out 
I’ve also left others out I think will explode this year but I can’t write about everyone
