#5 Attacking Midfielders
Manchester City’s most expensive signing Kevin de Bruyne looks to be thriving under Pep Guardiola, as he has been crowned the best-attacking midfielder in all of Europe. Alejandro Gomez’s inclusion in second place might raise a few eyebrows but a quick look at his stats, which read 14 goals and 12 assists in 37 appearances, and you probably understand the ranking. He is also the only Serie A player to feature in the top 10.

Montpellier’s Ryad Boudebouz is the only representative from France, while no players from La Liga make the cut in this particular position. It is easy to spot that Premier League players dominate the standings with 6 representatives in total from the shores of England – probably suggestive that attacking midfielders are more fancied in England than anywhere else in the world.
