Top 10 midfielders this season (2017/18)

#8 Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)

Andres Iniesta is undoubtedly one of the greatest midfielders of all time

One of the true legends of the game, Andres Iniesta, even at 33 is one of the best midfielders on the planet. After having a relatively poor 2016/17 season by his own high standards, the Spaniard has been like a man reborn under Ernesto Valverde this season and he will be keen on helping Barcelona achieve their lofty targets.

Blessed with excellent vision, passing ability and supreme dribbling skills, Iniesta has often been the silent architect of Barcelona's immense success being their most impressive player on many occasions.

Also, Iniesta has a knack of putting up his best performances in the biggest stages. The only player to be the man of the match in both the World Cup and Champions League final, Iniesta has recently signed a 'lifetime contract' with Barcelona and although Coutinho was signed in January as a long-term replacement, the Spanish superstar still has a few good matches left in him.
