Fernandinho (Manchester City)
Manchester City are one of the only top teams in Europe to be playing something close to a 4-4-2 formation, and the power and technique of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure in the middle of the park have been key to that being a success.
Fernandinho combines excellent positioning with sublime technique, competitive spirit and tenacity and a great eye for a pass.
Despite regularly being outnumbered in the centre, Man City are rarely overrun as both the Brazilian and Toure play with their heads up.
Each know when to sit and when to push forward, and that near telepathic partnership has seen them rack up fourteen goals and six assists between them.
