FIFA 18 Predictions: 5 best midfielders in the game

#3 Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League

The Belgian attacking midfielder is a player perfectly suited to the style of play Pep Guardiola demands from his players. With a technically astute playing style characterised by a natural flair, Bruyne is one of the most naturally gifted players in the Premier League.

The 24-year old is a versatile attacker and can operate across various positions with the latest being a false-8 position he occupies in central midfield alongside David Silva in Pep Guardiola’s fluid system at Manchester City.

Last season, Manchester City fans had the opportunity to see the playmaker at his scheming best with Guardiola’s system bringing out the best in the Citizen’s ball players. An exceptional season saw him gain three rating points to reach an overall of 91 mid season.

The Belgian is expected to play an even bigger part next season with City stalwarts David Silva and Yaya Toure fighting the effects of age and the fall in productivity it brings along with it. City look a more potent side with De Bruyne in their ranks and considering his exploits last season, we can expect to see him being rated at a level of 90 next season.
