Arya Stark – Eden Hazard

Arya of House Stark and Eden Hazard of House Chelsea may seem like a strange comparison at first glance, but let’s take a closer look. Both are small in stature but possess a nasty bite. Both act as if they have a hit list they’re crossing names off of.

Arya learned the water dancing fighting technique from Syrio Forel. Hazard plays with the same kind of fluid motion and lightness of feet. Both are more than capable of popping up and delivering a fatal blow to their enemies.

Additionally, they each came back from a rough season to become players that demand to be watched. Arya finally left behind the dreadful and boring House of Black and White to get back to killing bad people. Hazard came back after a lackluster season in 2015-16 to return as one of the best players in the Premier League during the last campaign.

They are both primed to put in serious work this coming season.

Bronn – Harry Kane

Neither Bronn nor Harry Kane looks like much. Looking at Bronn, you wouldn’t guess he was an amazing fighter or very hilarious, but he’s both of those things. Looking at Kane, you wouldn’t guess he was a goalscoring machine, but he is that. They both simply get the job done.

Not many would have predicted how far Bronn and Kane would rise. After saving Tyrion’s ass from the crazy loon Lysa Arryn, Bronn became the Lannister’s personal body guard before being awarded a high-born wife after his performance at the Battle of the Blackwater. Harry Kane turned into arguably Tottenham’s most important player and England’s best striker. Not bad for a one-season wonder.

Bronn gets kills. Kane gets buckets.
