Harry Kane

Harry Kane is him. The brightest star on the list for FC Hollywood. Let's be honest: Kane is easily one of the--if not THE--best strikers in world football right now.

His stat lines are equivocal to Robert Lewandowski's best seasons in the Bundesliga, which comes as no surprise to anybody who watched him torch the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur before melting records in his very first season in the Bundesliga and Champions League for FC Bayern Munich.

I don't think much needs to be said about how important this guy is for Bayern in an attacking sense, but what I think he does better than anybody gives him credit for is his high work-rate off the ball and his willingness to get back and win tackles. The latter is something in which I believe he will continuously do in this match and put the team on his back to lead them to victory.
