Angers: Billy Ketkeophomphone

Angers provided me some troubles as well. I tried to steer away from Ketkeophomphone because I did not want to keep typing his name, but he looked really good on the pitch, grabbed an assist and commanded attention. At just 25 years of age, he can still grow into more than what he already is, although he should be hitting his prime.

The French midfielder leads the team with four assists and he’s added a goal as well. Most of those assists were accumulated by picking up three in his last four matches. He has the versatility to play most forward positions but tends to stay on the right.

Ketkeophomphone is a solid defensive contributor as well. He contributes two tackles per game and has a knack for rampaging up and down the touch line. Statistically, he is better as a midfielder, but that does not hamper his versatility.

A little depth never hurt anyone and Arsenal could use someone with the versatility to play so many forward positions. Injuries are always ready and waiting to strike.

Now, we get to the crowned champion of Ligue 1. I wish I could pick two players from them, but that is too big of a rule to break.
