Giannis Fetfatzidis

Dubbed “the Greek Messi” Ioannis Giannis Fetfatzidis plays for Al Ahli in the Saudi Arabia first division who currently sit in second place in the league. Fetfatzidis typically plays on the right wing and in 25 appearances has scored three goals and picked up seven assists. Throughout his young career, the 26-year-old has won the Greek Championship three times, the Greek Cup twice, the Saudi Arabian league, the Saudi Cup, and the Saudi Super Cup.

Though Fetfatzidis isn’t the strongest in the air, which is something that would have hurt him significantly in the MLS a few years ago, the Greek international is very good with the ball at his feet and is a talented crosser. If Fetfatzidis was to be on a team with strong aerial threats like Kei Kamara or Fernando Adi, his assist numbers would skyrocket.
