#3 Rodrigo (Atletico Madrid)
Rodrigo is easily one of the best up and coming midfielders in the world at the moment. The Spanish midfielder made waves with his impressive performances for Villareal last season. He is doing the same with improved efficiency for Atletico Madrid in this league campaign.
Trending
Rodri deserves an applause for his brilliant pass success rate of 91.8% - a stat that belies his age. The 22-year-old midfielder has bossed the centre of the park by making 3.3 tackles per game and 1.1 interceptions per game.
He may have netted just once in 9 games, but it his hard work in the middle that makes him an indispensable part of the team. Frankly speaking, Diego Simeone couldn't have found a worthy successor for ex-captain Gabi and the famous number 14 shirt at Wanda Metropolitano.
