Marko Basa, of French club Lille, is a rugged presence at centre-back and his fellow defender Stefan Savic won the Premier League title at Manchester City last season, but the team's lethal weapons are their forwards, Mirko Vucinic and Stefan Jovetic.At 23, Jovetic is six years Vucinic's junior, but he has also been an integral part of the national team from the very first days of its existence.Neither player is a true striker, with Vucinic habitually drawing to the left-hand side of the pitch and Jovetic more comfortable in the hole, but their positional interchanging makes them fiendlishly hard to mark.With 14 international goals, captain Vucinic is the all-time leading scorer for the national side, which only came into existence six years ago following the country's split from Serbia in 2006.The mop-haired support striker missed the whole of the 2010-11 season with a serious cruciate knee ligament injury but came back even stronger for club side Fiorentina.An elegant forward with a powerful shot, he helped Juventus to a Serie A and Coppa Italia double last year in his first season at the club following a 15-million-euro ($19.5 million) transfer from Roma in 2011.
