How the PFA team of the year missed out the best defensive midfielder will now remain a mystery. The Brazilian has been consistent and rock solid in the heart of the pitch for Manchester City and has been contributing at both ends of the pitch for the Cityzens.
The Brazilian is easily the best CDM in the league and there is no justifiable explanation for his exclusion. The PFA TOTY does not have a defensive midfielder and it goes to show that defensive midfielders are not appreciated enough in modern football.
