#7 Central Midfield: David Silva (Spain)

David Silva

The Spaniard started out as a silky attacker, but has recently added a steel in his game that makes his indispensable in the Manchester City midfield. Silva has tremendous ball control and even though he is more suited to an attacking role, he can be just as comfortable in the midfield.

With a strong ball winner and tackler beside him, Silva likes dictating play from deep, where his outstanding passing abilities can break down any defense. The Spaniard is also a fantastic finisher and besides orchestrating the attack, can also add goals from the midfield.
