# 3 Paulinho
The Brazilian was billed as the midfield pillar since his arrival at Barcelona FC in August last year. He has been improving with every passing game. His ability to play both offensively and defensively has been a boon for the Spanish club.
The 29-year-old can also double up as an attacking midfielder, which has been his biggest strength and has offered Barcelona options in the midfield.
Like Suarez, Paulinho has been quite influential at the flanks as the midfielder has shown tremendous resistance when it comes to his ability to hold possession for a long time. He has been exceptional in set pieces and in winning aerial duels.
He has this knack for creating chances with unorthodox movements through which he tends to outfox the best defenses. Paulinho has also registered 8 goals in 23 La Liga games this season. The Brazilian has linked up well with other midfielders like Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic etc.
Many pundits did rate the Brazilian to produce such shining performances consistently but the midfielder has been impressive till now. One of the biggest factors for Paulinho's inclusion in the side is his attacking prowess, which infuses a whole lot of fluidity in the Barcelona attack.
