4. Per Mertesacker (Arsenal and GERMANY)
The German giant will always be dangerous in the air thanks to his monstrous height. He has popped up with useful goals for both club and country in recent years and his presence can often cause chaos in opposition defences.
Intriguingly, with Germany so short on strikers, their plan B is sometimes to stick big Per up front, so he could be getting goals thanks to that tactic as well.
