#2 Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
The Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves was definitely the star of the Championship last season. Neves is an amazing passer, press resistant, and a powerful player. He is comfortable at picking the ball up from the back four, is comfortable playing with the ball on the edge of the opposition box, and dictates games with ease.
He isn't a "box to box" midfielder in the traditional sense, but he's not immobile either. He has an unbelievable eye for a pass which neither the fans or the opposition see coming.
His long-range shooting would be excellent for Manchester City as well, against deep defensive blocks. His ability to make space for himself, even under severe pressure is reminiscent of Scholes. His value is only going to go up in the future.
