Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
In a Liverpool campaign sitting precariously in 6th place, Andrew Robertson remains the relentless engine powering the Reds' left flank. The 31-year-old Scotland captain has tallied 1 goal and 1 assist across 23 appearances this season, but statistics only scratch the surface of his influence. Valued at €15 million, Robertson embodies the modern attacking full-back archetype—his tireless overlapping runs provide Liverpool's primary creative outlet from deep. Since his 2017 arrival from Hull City, the Scot has redefined Premier League left-back expectations. Operating alongside defensive giants Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté, Robertson's whipped crosses and relentless work rate remain crucial to unlocking opposition defenses. With Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch orchestrating midfield, the Scottish captain's bombarding runs down the left continue to stretch defenses wide. Now in his eighth season at Anfield, Robertson's leadership and unwavering quality continue to define Liverpool's identity—even if the sixth-place standing doesn't yet reflect their ambitions.
