#6 Sergio Busquets:
Busquets is the definition of a deep-lying playmaker. The Spaniard is the conductor of Barcelona and everything good on the field goes through him. He controls the tempo of the game, helps Barcelona keep possession in tricky areas, he is brilliant on the ball and his timely interceptions help the Blaugrana regain possession.
The 30-year-old veteran midfielder does all the dirty work so that the likes of Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi can do the damage upfield. He has won 72 percent of his tackles in La Liga this season, which just further states his defensive authority. He doesn't do much in terms of goals and assists, but what he does with the ball is that he keeps things simple and tidy.
#5 Fernandinho:
Another player much similar to Busquets is the Brazilian Fernandinho. His the most important player for Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He has been tremendously again for City this season. He just like Busquets conducts everything in the middle of the Sky Blues.
The 33-year-old operates as the deepest of the three midfielders and allows the likes of David Silva and Bernardo Silva to roam around and create chaos for upfield. The Brazilian is one of the most underrated performers in this brilliant City side, but his importance can be stated by the fact that he has won 75 percent of his tackles in the Premier League this season which is the most in this City side.
