Florian Wirtz
At just 22 years old, this young German playmaker is basically a magician with the ball at his feet — he has an almost uncanny ability to thread passes through tight spaces and pop up in dangerous positions like he can see the game three seconds ahead of everyone else. He's widely considered one of the best young players on the planet right now, and Germany is essentially building their entire World Cup attack around him to finally end a long wait for a major trophy. When you're watching, keep an eye on the moments when play seems stuck and going nowhere — he's usually the one who suddenly unlocks everything with a clever flick, a sharp turn, or a perfectly timed run that makes the defense look completely lost. If Germany goes deep in the tournament, his fingerprints will almost certainly be all over it.
