#3 Fernandinho

Manchester City v Newcastle United - Premier League
Fernandinho is almost indispensable for Man City

As bad as an injury to Kevin de Bruyne or Sergio Aguero can be, it is Fernandinho who is indispensable to Pep's Manchester City.

Guardiola went into the summer of 2018 to find a long-term heir to his midfield general, but with failed moves for Fred and Jorginho, the Catalan has started the season with no reinforcements.

Now, this is a major problem because City depended a lot on the Brazilian last year and is already old at 33.

Vital on the defensive side of the ball, with five tackles and interceptions per game compared to Ilkay Gundogan's 3, Fernandinho is surprisingly influential in possession too.

Age is surely going to affect his fitness or form or sometimes both. It is high time City start searching for an able replacement or hope they don't lose out on the title because of this.
