TEEMU PUKKI NORWICH The Norwich striker deserves a decent upgrade after firing The Canaries to the Premier League with 29 goals! Pukki’s shooting definitely needs a major boost, but so does his passing – he grabbed nine assists last season as well! VIRGIL VAN DIJK LIVERPOOL Virgil is already one of the best defenders on the game, but we think he should be number one!
