Premier League 2018/19: Ranking the 10 best midfielders so far

#4 Georginio Wijnaldum

Liverpool FC v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

When Liverpool signed Fabinho and Naby Keita, everyone thought that Gini Wijnaldum's game time is going to be reduced at Anfield, but turns out that the Holland international has been the Reds' best midfielder this season. He has been brilliant for Jurgen Klopp's side this season.

Wijnaldum has played both as the number 6 and the number 8 this season and he has been fantastic in both positions. The 28-year-old is a hard-working midfielder and his pressing off the ball is indispensable to this Liverpool side.

Wijnaldum has scored 2 goals this season and he averages 71 touches every game. He has a passing accuracy of 91 percent and has won 59 percent of his tackles this season. The Holland international has been the most consistent midfielder for Liverpool and he remains integral to the Reds' dream of winning the Premier League.

#3 Fernandinho

Everton FC v Manchester City - Premier League

Manchester City have been dominating in the Premier League for the last 2 years and Fernandinho is one of the biggest reasons for that. The Brazilian has adapted to Pep Guardiola's style of play very well and he is a very important member of this world class Skyblues side.

Playing as the deep lying playmaker in a midfield three, the Brazilian has been the conductor for City this season. The 33-year-old controls everything in the middle of the park for City and his passing is one of his underrated skills. Fernandinho is very hard working and his off the ball contributions are what City cannot get from any other midfielder in that position.

Fernandinho has scored 1 goals this season and made a further 3. He averages 93 touches per game and he posses a passing accuracy of 88 percent. The Brazilian has won 75 percent of his tackles and this is a stat that a defender would be proud of.
