Top 5: Europa League 15/16 teams to watch
5. FC Basel
Urs Fischer
The Swiss champions are used to plying their trade in the Champions League at this stage of the season, but they were knocked out by Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the play-off stage. They are a team known to pull off a few shocks; particularly against English clubs who they have avoided in this year’s groups, but do still have a tricky section to negotiate with Fiorentina, Lech Poznan and Belenenses. Urs Fischer has some well-known players in his squad to watch, with Champions League winner Walter Samuel and ex-Liverpool defender Philipp Degen in their squad.
