#9 Blaise Matuidi (France)
Another anchorman making our list of passing virtuosos is French midfielder Blaise Matuidi. A midfielder of his traits and talents is criminally underrated when you know that Juventus forked out a paltry €20 million for his signature in an age where clubs are paying insane amounts for talented players.
Blaise Matuidi has registered a passing accuracy of 88.4% in all competitions in season 2017-18. Capable of functioning as a central and a left midfielder, he excels at holding the ball and providing a much-required resilience to the backline. Also, he is excellent in the air, winning 1 aerial duel per game.
With N' Golo Kante and Blaise Matuidi in their ranks, Les Blues boss Didier Deschamps will certainly have a selection headache ahead of the World Cup; but that fix is something he'll be thankful for, won't he?
