#2 Fabinho (Monaco) - Midfielder

AS Monaco FC  v LOSC Lille - Ligue 1
Fabimho has excelled in midfield

Fabinho has developed into one of the best central midfielders at Monaco since switching positions from right-back. His impressive performances pulling strings in the midfield for the Principality club saw him being linked with top European teams and he narrowly missed out on a move to PSG.

He was instrumental for Monaco last season as they dethroned PSG as Ligue 1 champions. He has also been fundamental this season as the champions sit second in the table.

He boasts an impressive 85% passing accuracy per game and has won 2.8 aerial duels per game in 37 appearances for Monaco this season. Additionally, Fabinho has found the back of the net 6 times and has 3 assists this season.

Fabinho's versatility could be an asset for the Brazilian team as he can play across all midfield positions and even as a right-back if required.
