#6 Miralem Pjanic (Juventus)

Juventus v Atalanta BC - Serie A — Pjanic will be key to Juventus' hopes in the Champions League

Bought by Juventus as a replacement for Paul Pogba, 27-year-old Miralem Pjanic has quickly settled into his role as the chief playmaker in this very impressive Juventus side. Gifted with amazing technical ability, playmaking skills and tactical versatility, Pjanic is also exceptional at taking free-kicks.

One of Juventus' midfield mainstays, Pjanic always goes about his work with the minimum of fuss and he always seems to pick the right passes. This season as well, the Bosnian international has been at his dependable best having scored 4 goals and assisted a further 7 in 24 Serie A appearances.

With Juventus looking like favourites to win the Serie A title once again, Pjanic will be hoping that he continues his good form and helps the Old Lady win both the Scudetto and the elusive Champions League trophy at the end of the season.
