Kieran Trippier

Trippier's game lives in the detail of a cross, the exact pace and height needed so a striker barely has to break stride to attack it. He drops deep to collect possession rather than waiting out wide for the ball to reach him, then delivers a ball whipped with enough curl to beat the first defender at the near post. Corners and free kicks become genuine goal threats whenever he stands over them, which most right backs in this division simply cannot offer.

The tension around a player like this is whether the legs keep pace with the delivery, because a right back who covers so much ground going forward has to recover just as far going backward. Wolves need him to get forward without leaving space in behind for a quicker winger to exploit. Watch how much defensive cover his midfield gives him before deciding whether the balance actually works.
