Team Focus: Monaco

AS Monaco have been a pleasant surprise this season. They won their group comfortably and will meet Manchester City (more info on them here) in the Last 16.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Croatian keeper Danijel Subašič has kept Morgan De Sanctis out of the starting place with great performances and will be a big asset for Monaco in the knockout round as well. Their defence has been quite stable, but have kept only 1 clean sheet in the Group stage. Their defenders are, however, also very dangerous in attack. Djibri Sidibe (5.1) has scored one and added an assist from RB, Kamil Glik (4.6), their CB also scored once. His partner at CB is Jemerson (4.4) who is also a nice budget pick and Benjamin Mendy (5.4), the LB also has 2 assists to his name already. Fabinho (5.4) deserves a special mention, he is a defender who plays in midfield and also takes penalties whenever Falcao is not on the pitch.

Midfield
Thomas Lemar (6.0) scored twice in the Group stage and is a great pick. Bernardo Silva, who recently attracted interest from Jose Mourinho's Manchester United also, he scored twice as well. Another option is his fellow Portuguese Joao Moutinho (6.1).

Attack
Valere Germain scored once and assisted one goal, but the resurrected Radamel Falcao is certainly the one to have if he can continue playing in his recent form. He scored 12 goals in 15 matches in League 1 this season.

Prediction
Monaco have been great this season and are currently also leaders in the French League 1. They will face a wounded lion in Manchester City but could be on course to upset the English team and progress to the next round. It is really a 50-50 odd match if looking at their recent performances.
