#9 Miralem Pjanic - Juventus
Despite Juventus being second to Napoli in the table, it is Miralem Pjanic who is probably the best central midfielder in Serie A at the moment, with the Bosnian continuing his stellar form from last season that saw the Bianconeri win the Scudetto and reach the UEFA Champions League final.
In 9 appearances for Juve in Serie A so far, Pjanic has made a superb 7 assists, while scoring 2 goals himself, with a contribution to a goal every 74.11 minutes.
In addition to his playmaking skills that were obvious at former club AS Roma, Pjanic has taken his game to the next level, becoming far more efficient defensively (as was evidenced at the Nou Camp against Barcelona last season). His skill with free kicks remains among the best in the world and Pjanic continues to improve in his playmaking, with his vision setting up the likes of Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain for plenty of goals.
