LB Joao Moutinho

Stats: 10 MP, 1 G; 446 completed passes

Moutinho's been excellent for the Lions so far, one of the standout performers. The Portuguese left back is at full fitness after a series of lower body injuries, and he's back to his elite self. His possesion play is excellent, thriving as more of an inverted left back contributing to the build up.

His defensive work is a little hit or miss, but generally good enough, and his offensive output makes up for the occasional defensive lapses. This is exactly what you want from Moutinho.

Grade: A
