#1 Mehdi Abeid;ALGERIA

Top of our charts is Abeid, as, heading into the final, he’s the only player in the tournament who’s completed every singe one of his attempted passes.

There haven’t been too many—the Algerian has made just three appearances, one of which was a start—but he’s been immaculate in possession when he has featured.

Abeid is another player on this list who isn’t among the stars of his team, but has affirmed his worth to date and could yet have a critical role to play as Les Fennecs go in search of a second Afcon crown.
