Fernandinho celebrates for the Citizens

Despite the wealth of attacking talent at Pep Guardiola's disposal this season, Fernandinho is perhaps the most vital cog in the City machine without which they would not be able to exert dominance on the game the same way. Acting as a fulcrum for the team, Fernandinho provides both defensive stability at the back and is certainly no slouch when it comes to bursting forward when the opportunity presents itself, putting in approximately 2 tackles per game, paired up with a passing accuracy of 90%, also registering 5 goals and 3 assists. Possessing the ability to play as a Central Defender along with his usual midfield role, Fernandinho also offers Pep Guardiola options to experiment with multiple formations depending on the way a game is going. A part of the Brazil squad for the World Cup, so far, Fernandinho has found playing time to be scarce, but as the business end of the tournament approaches, he is sure to be pivotal for Tite's side.
