Felix Nmecha

Key strength: Work rate

Box-to-box midfielder

As Borussia Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga table and look to capitalize on their WLLWW recovery, Felix Nmecha has become Edin Terzic's irreplaceable midfield engine. The 25-year-old German international has been an ever-present force this season, making 40 appearances and clocking over 3,000 minutes of tireless box-to-box running. While his 5 goals and 3 assists tell part of the story, Nmecha's true value lies in his metronomic presence—boasting 78-rated passing that seamlessly links defense to the attacking talents of Fábio Silva ahead. What truly sets the €50 million-rated midfielder apart is his remarkable discipline: zero cards across an entire campaign of high-intensity combat. In a Dortmund side seeking to reclaim the Meisterschale, Nmecha's understated brilliance—his intelligent positioning, progressive distribution, and ceaseless work rate—may prove the difference between contenders and champions.
