Key Players 1 GK Michel Vorm Overall: 80 Age: 29 Go Devils has always built his squads around solid play at the back and the ability to send out one of the better international goal keepers in the world in Vorm provides a fantastic anchor to this strategy. While average in size compared to most at the position, his reflexes and quick reactions help provide a stand-out last line of defense for the Welsh side. 20 MF Jonathan de Guzmán(on loan from Villarreal) Overall: 76 Age: 25 The ability to distribute the ball quickly up the field in attack is really the bread and butter attribute to this trequartista-style central midfielder. While he may not be an even average defender in the middle of the park, he possesses fantastic passing skills as well as set piece ability. 12 MF Nathan Dyer Overall: 75 Age: 25 Few maintain the top-end speed that Nathan Dyer puts forth from start to finish for the Swans game-in and game-out. He can be intimidating coming down the flank and breaking into the box. His speed attribute really opens up lanes for fellow outfield players to get towards the goal. 10 FW Wilfried Bony Overall: 81 Age: 24 Bony was the key transfer in the 2013 Summer window for Swansea. While they already possessed a solid striker in Michu, they did not have an attacker who physically struck fear in opposing center halves. Bony is that man. While he doesn't have the work rate of Michu, he is a bull in the box, has a very good weak foot, heading ability, and shot power.
