In sixth place is the Spainish attacking-midfielder magician from Manchester City. It’s difficult to notice the importance of David Silva until he’s taken off the pitch. His vision for effective gameplay and his brilliant ability to play the right pass make Silva a great player. His wonderful touch on the ball makes the City man one of the most effective midfielders alive today.

Silva's transfer from Valencia to Manchester City in 2010 was impactful to say the least. The English side finished in the top four that season and the club's success accelerated. Although the playmaker’s height might be a concern, he possesses phenomenal balance and dribbling ability.

Silva has won the FIFA World Cup with Spain once and has won the Premier League title three times while at Man City. He has scored 68 goals and got 118 assists in 361 appearances for the club.
