GOALKEEPER
Lawrence Ati Zigi
The 19 year old was the shining light in an otherwise poor campaign for Ghana at the World -20 Championships in New Zealand in 2015. His shot stopping and calm reading of games are assets he has developed all season as first choice goalkeeper of FC Liefering in the Austrian second tier.

DEFENDERS
Gideon Baah
The left back is settling in well at MLS side New York Red Bulls after a crazy transfer window that saw him linked with a move to Barcelona. Tactically savvy and with an eye for goal, Baah has developed into a modern full back worthy of a national team start.
Samuel Inkoom
Ghana's king of social media is enjoying a career renaissance at Antalyaspor after hitting a rough patch for the past three years. Inkoom has rediscovered his attacking swagger and has been a revelation all season.

Bernash Quansah
Who? The center back for Dreams FC in the local league has been a rock for the debutants. He is fast, strong in the tackle and loves a good tussle.
Richard Akrofi
Strange that he is only recently gaining attention after moving to Hearts of Oak. Akrofi spent six years at unfashionable Wa All Stars,excelling under the radar. A single word to describe him would be RELIABLE.
MIDFIELDERS

Godfred Donsah
Injury derailed what was supposed to be a seminal season for the Bologna star but has in recent months showed the full range of his talents. Just ask Juventus and their world class midfield what they think of him.
Daniel Nii Adjei
The former Asante Kotoko leader has caught a second wind in his career at TP Mazembe this season. Scored two stunning goals to win them the Super Cup and has been Mr.Consistent this season.
Nana Akwasi Asare

An experienced campaigner, Asare is versatile as a winger or defender. Impressed for Gent in their recent Champions league run to the knockout stages
Albert Adomah
A player who is widely misunderstood in Ghana. He has struggled to replicate his outstanding form at club level with the national team but hey! based on pure form alone, he is the best right sided attacker Ghana has.
Kwadwo Asamoah
Seems cursed with injuries these days but he is fit now. That is all that is required for him to make my squad.

FORWARD
Dominic Oduro
The speedy forward with the weird hairdo is leading Montreal Impact in the MLS.
