Enzo Le Fée

Le Fée controls the tempo of a game through his passing range rather than physical dominance, picking out a forward's run before defenders have finished adjusting to where the ball actually is. His first touch under pressure lets him receive in tight spaces that would trouble a less technical midfielder, buying just enough time to find the right option. He has also proven comfortable out wide when Sunderland needed him there, still finding room to influence the game from a less central position.

Set pieces are where his quality shows up most directly, since his delivery from free kicks and corners regularly creates danger a purely central midfielder would not add. The open question is whether his lighter physical profile holds up against the Premier League's more combative midfielders over a long season. Watch whether Sunderland shield him with a more defensive partner or ask him to fend for himself.
