🇨🇭Switzerland
DefensivePhysical
Former Arsenal man Granit Xhaka is the center of this team, as he was for Sunderland throughout the season that led them to the Europa League. While there were some debates over the omissions of Sanches and Vogt, this is a strong Swiss team, and should not be underestimated. They carry nine Bundesliga players on their squad.
